The evening news on CBS4 Denver on April 17, 2018, featured a story by Dominic Garcia and his cameraman Bill (with his drone) on the lost ski areas of Colorado.
Authors Caryn and Peter Boddie spoke with Garcia about the areas and about how hard-working immigrants first brought the ski culture to Colorado.
They met for the interview at Inspiration Point in Denver where skiing “took off” when Carl Howelsen put on a ski jumping exhibition in 1914.
After leaving the Boddies, the CBS4 staffers headed to Genessee where more ski jumping took place and to Berthoud, which was a beloved ski area for years
—a place to ski and see and be seen—and is still skied by backcountry skiers.
The story is now posted on the CBS4 website. Many thanks to them and especially to Dominic and Bill!
