Memories:

"The first area I taught skiing at when I was
just 14. The instructors were pretty much all high school kids and we
had a great time. It was truly a family environment and it seemed as if
everyone was related."

Memories of San Isabel Ski. I was working in Canon City in 1981-1982 and
learned to ski here . It was a family place, resonable prices, lodge with warm
fireplace and the only deal I didn't like was the tow rope. It was a great place to
learn with easy slopes and we had fun. I hear it might be making a comeback.
