Operation Dates: 1938-1949 Area Stats: * Lifts: One tow, the year installed in unknown, but probably a couple of years after the initial operation. * Facilities: A large restaurant that featured a bar, dancing area, rest rooms and various other amenities (this building no longer stands). The cabin pictured below was primarily used as a warming hut. History: The ski area first opened in 1938 with solely a warming hut. A restaurant was added the following season along with cabins and a general store. At some unknown date later, the area constructed a 800 foot long rope tow that carried skiers up the areas two trails. Skiers enjoyed the slopes until the late 40's when the facility shut down after the rope tow broke. Directions: From Breckenridge, take Highway 9 South out of town towards Fairplay. The ski area is outside of Blue River. If you have any additional information, please email us. |
