Abandoned free streamed today....

Nice short film on a few lost Colorado ski areas. There’s some really nice filming and stories. Codes and I really liked the ski-dog shots.

Been meaning to watch this.

Thanks for the link, very well done. Would've liked to see chapters on Stagecoach near Steamboat Springs and Hidden Valley near Estes Park.

Awesome... thx for sharing.  My only complaint was that it was too short!

way to short!!

Nice!

Love the old ski films --- stretch pants rule! Had several pairs myself

Sad to hear/see people lose their businesses, but at the same time it's cool to see what Berthoud progressed into.

Those two areas would have been really cool additions to the movie. I did some work at the base of stagecoach one summer. That’s a really beautiful area around there. Skied a bit back in the flat tops too.

👌👍
