Overview

While this museum focuses mainly on the sports Colorado influences, it also, in many ways, details the history of skiing itself. Its shelves and walls are packed with more than 1,500 photos and artifacts touching upon Olympic and World Cup events, Colorado's famed 10th Mountain Division, and even the recent evolution of snowboarding. Gazing at photos of the Vail Valley when it was nothing but a sheep farm in the late 1950s will make you yearn for the gift of foresight.
