Abandoned Ski Run Behind Wal-Mart - Woodland Park Colorado

- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- In this video, I visit an abandoned ski lodge in Woodland Park, Colorado. This town is so steeped in forgotten history that I will likely revisit it a few times. That said; today's tale is about a piece of property that barely missed Wal-Mart's wrecking ball and housed some of the world's earliest skiing enthusiasts
I am focusing on land that was sold; in 2005, to the Wal-Mart real estate corporation. Their intention was to develop a low-end department store combined with a grocery store. This news sparked community outrage over fears the store would eclipse main street businesses, damage historical property, and destroy the city's small-town quality of life. That April, town hall meetings were a roar with accusations, conflicts of interests, and preservation concerns...

Hi Doug good morning I really love how much history and information you find and share with us., I wish I could find such about my places here it mainly local word of mouth., what an awesome location and story to share, Don did an remarkable job and many dreams were completed., its such a beatiful area i definitely agree they need to keep to their promise by erecting a statue in dons memory., i really love your effort you go into great job :
Howdy mate and good afternoon! If your libraries have access to public records, you can find out a lot about a location by researching these records. This is how I found out about the lands' history and the contents of the Meeting with Wal-Mart. Don really seemed like a good guy and left a massive legacy in Southern Colorado. Thank you for your appreciation and for joining us. I hope you are well and stay safe!
P.S. Super awesome to hear that NZ has nearly eradicated the virus within its borders. That's flipping amazing!
@@DerelictDoug + Hi Doug Thats a Brilliant idea i hadnt thought of to be honest ill have to remember thanks for the advice :)., he sure did leave an amazing legacy., your so welcome Its important for me to recognize and appreciate such efforts :)
thanks it was 24 days no new cases we were doing extremely well., but we have two new cases from opening our boarders Honestly boarders should never of been opened till the rest of the world had gotten on top on their cases., I did warn folk but new zealand overall is to laid back.,
we'll get it sorted again or return to lockdown lol.
Don't know where you've been but WELCOME BACK.
Wow, this is wonderful info and the old videos are priceless.
When i skiied Pikes Peak there was plenty of deep, natural snow.
I want to wring Walmarts neck for not keeping their word. Without you, I would've never known about this ski area.
Thank you so very much! The lockdown interrupted my shooting / editing schedule. But, I am happy to be back up and running! I am also happy to have shared new information with you! Please stay safe and thank you so much for your support!
I had never heard the story before. Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to have to take a closer look next time I'm up there
Thank you so much for joining us! It’s a beautiful area (as you know). Enjoy your next visit and stay safe!
That's because he isn't correct. He is showing a different house, claiming it was part of a ski area. This was recently posted on a Woodland Park community page on Facebook, and the locals are having a fit about the inaccuracies. He's in the wrong area. This is the Junction House, was never a part of a ski area.
Doug I was just expecting a tour of these ghost towns and was pleased by all the research you've done. Very enjoyable vids. I hit subscribe.
Thank you so very much! I try to add a little extra information to each video and am glad you appreciate it! Thank you for subscribing and all the best 🙏.
Same here! Just subscribed!
Bravo! Very thorough work & you made some potentially 'dry stuff' very informative & entertaining.
I really appreciate that! In-fact I hesitated on this one because I was concerned it was too dry of a topic. I am happy you enjoyed it and please stay safe!
Love your history of places that you show us beautiful country thank you!

Very well done. I don't know anything about Colorado, but I do enjoy the history lesson.
Thank you very much! I am so glad that you appreciate it. I tend to be Colorado centric, but try to mix it up. Thanks again and stay safe!

I Grew Up Right Next To That Place And Never Knew This
:0) Crazy what we grow up around and don't even realize it. I love learning more and more about the places I've always loved in CO.
That's because it's not true. He is showing the Junction House. It was never part of a ski area. The ski area was on Edlow road. This is not the correct area.
Not far from there. Over in my area, have couple good places for you. Either Meyers ranch or small town of Bailey
Thank you so much for the tips and for joining us! I really appreciate your support and please stay safe.
I have a video of one in NY. I need to do a video including thw history
That sounds awesome, I’d love to see it!
so a ski resort that doesnt get enough snow went BK?.....who knew?!?
Hahaha, exactly. Thanks for the laugh and all the best!
It's been a while.
It has been a while. The lockdown took its toll and we took a month off. I hope you are well and stay safe!
We are not better off with the Walmart. People that chose to live up here new that they would need to drive down the pass for Wal-Mart shopping. The people didn't want the Wal-Mart. We still don't!!! Only the city people want it. That's what has ruined woodland park!!
I agree, Walmart did not help and typically does not help. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching. All the best!
