"I skied at Chataqua Mesa, Boulder, in 1949 with my Phys Ed ski class (for credit) during winter quarter my Freshman year. As an absolute beginner, I found the rope tow so hard to ride that I preferred to remove my skis and walk up. We were glad there was just enough snow to go there at all, after initial lessons on the lawn by the Freshman girls' dorm. At least we learned to walk on skis, fall, get up, and snowplow." -Peggy S. |
