From the publisher

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."

First line

While slaves pulled the massive stones up ramps to build the pyramids of Egypt, northern people, whose descendents would be Finns, Swedes, and Norwegians, skied on hunting expeditions.

Description:
Western Reflections Publishing Co, 2000. Softcover. Very Good. 5x0x8. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. Skiing is not a new phenomena in Colorado. It is a sport that has been around for well over a century. 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 1984 as Ski Tracks: A Century of Colorado Skiing; but the book has been long 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.
