Highly recommended for anyone who ever skiied Colorado!Mar 04, 2000
By Midwest Book Review
Skiing is a sport that has been popular since the latter part of the 19th century. Abbott Fay has painstakingly researched the history of what originally was developed as a means of survival in snow country, but evolved into one of America's most popular winter sports. In A History Of Skiing In Colorado, Fay recounts the history of skiing in one of the country's most popular skiing regions with an informative, "reader friendly" text that is enhanced with photographs. A History Of Skiing In Colorado is highly recommended reading for all ski enthusiasts and anyone who has ever strapped them on for downhill or cross-country skiing on the slopes or through the wildness of Colorado.
