This is just so darn wholesome. Miss the olden days of skiing (the 80s) although I sure do appreciate the gear of nowadays...

I can't tell you how happy I am to see this. I was a child in the 1970s and I was fortunate enough to be a member of a small ski club in a small ski resort (Guthega) in Australia's snowy mountains. We had this movie on film and we played it every year on club race weekends. I thought Steamboat Springs must be the most magical place on Earth.

In my opinion it is as someone born and raised there, sending love from Florida, I was born in 2000 and seeing this video gave me a whole new respect for the town and those who pioneered it

As a former employee at the resort (2019-2020) I can assure you it most certainly is. Cheers

It's become it's own hell on earth. Great skiing but the resort also ruined the town

We have a little cabin just outside of Steamboat. We love it..the snow is deep & dry and the people are genuine!

Skied there many time during the late 60's and 70's. Cold but great snow. Still go there once in a while.
