Item Description...


Product Description
Skiing is not a new phenomena in Colorado. It is a sport that has been around for well over a century. Early ventures into skiing were mostly incidental; the main purpose of skis in the 1800s was to enable people to thrive and survive nature's vagaries. Abbott Fay has done a marvelous job of tracking the history of what originally was a means of survival but which now is one of America's favorite sports. The original version of this book was published in 1982 as Ski Tracks: A Century of Colorado Skiing; but the book has long been out of print and the author has made many additions and changes to this revised version. Many new photographs and much new information has been added.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
Highly recommended for anyone who ever skiied Colorado!  Mar 4, 2000
Skiing is a sport that has been popular since the latter part of the 19th century. Abbott Fay has painstakingly researched the history of what originally was developed as a means of survival in snow country, but evolved into one of America's most popular winter sports. In A History Of Skiing In Colorado, Fay recounts the history of skiing in one of the country's most popular skiing regions with an informative, "reader friendly" text that is enhanced with photographs. A History Of Skiing In Colorado is highly recommended reading for all ski enthusiasts and anyone who has ever strapped them on for downhill or cross-country skiing on the slopes or through the wildness of Colorado.
