I skied the Berthoud Pass Ski area in Colorado about 25 years ago – and it was of my most memorable ski days ever.
The Denver Post has reprinted some historic photos of what is believed to be the first ski resort and lift in Colorado and you can see them by clicking here.

So, I was very sad when in 2002 I saw that the ski area had shut down due to financial problems. A year later the lifts were taken down, but Berthoud Pass refused to lie down and die. Skiers and snowboarders – the area was one of the first in Colorado to accept boarders – continue to hike or use snowcats to access the great powder runs.

The non profit organisation was founded in 2003 by ski patrollers and backcountry riders.
