One of the benefits of living in a small town in Colorado was family skiing!
The local town of Gunnison would allow kids to be dropped off by the school bus at the towns ski area.
If you were a local, a family pass was less than $100 a good place for kids to start learning this sport!
35 miles up valley was the real deal crested Butte! Both my boys learned to ski the steep and deep while still in grade school!😊

That's awesome! Colorado is a great place to ski. They were lucky to learn so young, it's harder to learn once you're an adult!
My youngest went on to be Ski patrol at Mt. Baker after we moved up here😊
Ski patrol is a fun job! Fortunately avalanches weren't common when I was part of that!
Avalanches are so dangerous...... Bill used to be on the dynamite patrol where they would set off avalanches to prevent larger ones!
Occasionally he said they would have a dud, and they had to come back in the spring to find the shell🙄
