  Mt. Wilson overlooks the cirty of Telluride in the western end of the San Juan mountain range.  It is one of the steeper, more dangerous 14ers in Colorado.  There are several steep descents via the north face and the east face(Slate Creek cirque and Boxcar couloir).  Like the Bells or Pyramid all routes on this peak involve difficult routefinding, steep terrain, and rockfall hazards.  The snowboard descents here are classic and technical.  Any descent of Mt. Wilson is an accomplishment.
