Snowmass History: Lining up lifts in 1965
Lift Line No. 5
While sno-cat service had already been going on for several years on the Big Burn area, in 1964 the U.S. Forest Service granted final approvals of the Snowmass-at Aspen Ski Area complex. The summer of 1965 marked the year of surveying lift lines and ski runs and the beginning of clearing those new lines.
