Nordic skiing at Hot Sulphur Springs Winter Carnival in the 1900s. USFS photo.

Did you know Nordic skiing was the first form of skiing in Colorado and that it was brought by Norwegian immigrants to the state? (The images in this post are US Forest Service photos from the early 1900s of Nordic skiing and ski jumping at a winter carnival in Hot Sulphur Springs, which is Colorado’s lost ski town, and not far from the ranch.) Read more about it in the Front Range and northern mountains book.

You can also order books for gifting through our website. We’ll sign and ship them to you right away.
