It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when everyone didn't have a camera and phone in their pocket to show how good a skier or snowboarder they were and the technology to show it to the world on social media.

'Twas the day before Christmas Eve and it was raining heavily in southern California with a wind out of the southwest.
For Colorado skiers and snowboarders, that means one thing: snow is on the way.
And, for my part of Colorado at least, Christmas will be a powder day.

Eighty years ago this winter, something special was happening in Colorado.
We were learning to love the sport of skiing. Colorado ski areas Monarch Mountain, Winter Park and Wolf Creek all trace their beginnings to the winter of 1939-40.
Wolf Creek Ski Area boasts more snow than any ski area in Colorado. Annually, they average more than 400" of snow. They are family owned and have been operating since 1939! This makes Wolf Creek one of the oldest ski areas in the country.
