This museum, the largest ski museum in the United States, is worth a visit, if only for an hour or two. With more than 11,000 artifacts representing more than 130 years of Colorado skiing, there's plenty to peruse. The museum revels in the development of ski technology over the years, from the wooden slats skiers once strapped to their feet, to the machines hauling them up thousands of feet to mountain tops. An entire room details the 10th Mountain Division, a Division of Army soldiers that trained in brutal Colorado winter conditions before shipping out to Europe during World War II.
