"Holiday Hills near Woodland Park is where I took my first
ski lesson. It was in 1966 or 67, I am not quite sure which year. I may
be mistaken, but I think before skiing was started we use to go to the
same area in the early 60's and toboggan. I am glad I found your web
site as I often wondered what happened to the area."
