Colorado definitely is known as a ski state, but did you know the sport dates back over 100 years to the days when it was called "snowshoeing." Twelve-foot boards and a long stick was used in those days. Abbott Fay traces the development of Colorado skiing, including the impact the 10th Mountain Division had on it after World War II. Old photos and recent developments make this book a "must have." Abbott Fay is the author of numerous books including the best-selling Beyond the Great Divide and I Never Knew That About Colorado - both published by Western Reflections Publishing Co. He is a retired history professor and a professional guide who lives in Grand Junction, Colorado. Used Book in Good Condition
