Join Active Minds as we review the origins and history of skiing as well as explore current issues facing the industry.

There is evidence that humans have been skiing as far back as 6300 BCE. Skiing has been a means of transportation, utilized in combat, enjoyed for recreation, and an international competitive sport. We will also discuss the emergence of Colorado towns as ski resorts and how that impacted them.
