March 19, 2019 by braveskimom

berthoud pass abandoned

If you’re at all sentimental, grab some tissues then click “play.” Abandoned is a new film from The Road West Traveled, a Colorado-based adventure production company. It’s a beautifully shot, amply researched, nostalgic look at three “lost” ski areas on Colorado’s Front Range. Featuring Geneva Basin, Berthoud Pass and Cuchara Mountain Resort, Abandoned includes interviews with those […]
