"Colorado is ripe with ski history. It's home to the oldest still-operating ski area in the United States (Howelsen Hill in Steamboat), served as the training ground for the 10th Mountain Division during WWII, and has raised or been home to some of the best skiers in the world. You can dig and dig through the history of skiing in Colorado without coming anywhere near understanding and knowing all of it,"
