About this ebook
This is the large story of a once-small ski area that has for six decades played an outsize role in Boulder County. The characters are larger than life, starting with a visionary Hungarian ski-champion founder and followed by mining engineer Tell Ertl, who built Eldora's first snowmaking system in just two months and installed its first chairlifts.
