Colorado Ski Museum

The Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum/Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame was formed in 1976. You'll find it at the top of the Vail Transportation Center.

Colorado has been making skiing history for more than 130 years. In the past trappers and miners left their mark on the area, while today the competitive high-tech racers are making a splash. The state of Colorado has provided the finest skiing competitors to the world, as well as team coaches. And of course, over the years it has offered visitors the best skiing and snowboarding the world over.

The Colorado Ski Museum has a mission to preserve the long history of skiing and snowboarding in the state. Located within the museum is a collection of more than 1,500 photographs, artifacts, equipment pieces, and items of clothing that represent more than 130 years of amazing history.

If you want to go back in time, a trip to this museum will not disappoint. At the museum you get to see old skiing equipment up close, and can learn about the difficulties the first recreational skiers had to endure for the love of their sport.
