Take a fun and informative trip down memory lane through the past century of ski fashion with the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum's new video, 100 Years of Ski Fashion. From 1915 to 2015, the new video chronicles not only the clothing, but also the types of equipment that were utilized and trendy during each decade. The video was the creation of the Museum's Resource Center staff, Dana Mathios and Ashton Helmstaedter, and was shot and edited by Massif Studios in Denver.
Leadville was one of the world's great mining camps. Incredible wealth was generated in this two-mile-high city from gold, lead, silver, and zinc mining and smelting. 'Everyone' came to Leadville, including Presidents Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. Houdini, Oscar Wilde, Buffalo Bill Cody, and the Ziegfield Follies performed at the Tabor Opera House which still has tours of this 1879 structure. Institutions such as the Guggenheims, the May Company, Marshall Fields, and Dow Jones, got their start in Leadville. Musical productions The Ballad of Baby Doe and the Unsinkable Mollie Brown were based on Leadville residents. The world's largest molybdenum deposit is still being mined nearby.
