.png) Join Colorado historian Dr. Duane Vandenbusche at the Elevation Hotel for an engaging presentation on the history of skiing. Explore the rich skiing history of the Gunnison Valley through archival images and stories from the 11 lift-assisted ski resorts that have operated here from 1880 to the present, including four ski areas in and around Crested Butte: the Pershing Mine Ski Hill, Rozman Hill, Pioneer (home to the first chairlift in Colorado), and, of course, the Crested Butte Ski Area. Learn about the early mailmen who carried mail on skis, including Al Johnson and Alex Parent, as well as the incredible feats of Crested Butte’s gelände jumpers. Dr. Vandenbusche came to the Gunnison Valley in 1962 to teach history at Western and has since authored nearly a dozen books. Tickets include light après and non-alcoholic beverages. A cash bar will be available. Après begins: 4:00 PM Lecture begins: 4:30 PM Location: Elevation Ballroom, Elevation Hotel
