"Colorado's ski history is deep and rich. It includes the oldest ski area in the United States, predating anything on the East Coast or West, and includes the story of the 10th Mountain Division."
"The state's first ski area came about in 1915, but it wouldn't be until 1937 that another ski area, which would remain operating until today, would open."
Colorado possesses a significant and historic skiing heritage that predates ski development on both the East and West Coasts. Howelsen Hill Ski Area, established in 1915, holds the distinction of being the oldest ski area in the United States. The state's ski industry expanded gradually, with the next major development occurring in 1937. Eight of Colorado's oldest ski areas are documented, including Winter Park Resort (1940), Ski Cooper (1942), Arapahoe Basin (1946), and Aspen Mountain (1947). This skiing legacy is intertwined with the history of the 10th Mountain Division, contributing to Colorado's prominent role in American ski culture and outdoor recreation.
