Where? Significance To Skiing?
Thanks to the Alf Engen Ski Museum for sharing this dramatic photograph.
Last Week
Early days at Steamboat Springs. Each of two sleds held ten skiers. This unusual lift served Howelsen Hill in the mid 1940s. If anyone knows the back story of this “lift”, please let us know.

Mike is the co-publisher of SeniorsSkiing.com. His skiing career started at Song Mountain NY in his college days. He worked for SKIING magazine in the early 70s, learned to love cross-country, took a 20 year hiatus from skiing and came back to short skis and efficient boots. When Jon Weisberg suggested there should be a site for senior skiers, he joined him in developing SeniorsSkiing.com.
This is mt supreme and the road to Alta in LCC
It is Mount Superior in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah opposite Snowbird and Alta. It is a major avalanche area that often closes the road.
Hi Frank
thanks for correcting my mountain name. I have been skiing alta for 50 years and had a senior moment (LOL!) re the name.
