Ski History at Denver International Airport
Oct 30, 2007 · 07:48 AM · permalink
Next time you fly through Denver, head to the Concourse A pedestrian bridge and check out the exhibition of historic ski gear and fashion from the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum
and Hall of Fame (a name only a committee could love).
Seeing the ski parkas of yore took me back to the early seventies, when I was barely out of training pants, dressed in an insulated onesy and freezing my ass off in ski school at Highlands. Those were the good old days, when ski clothing kept you neither warm nor dry, rope tows jerked your arms out of their sockets, and when you fell you just hoped it was going to be one of those times that your skis released properly.
The exhibition “FASHION . FORM . FUNCTION – Then and Now” can be seen on the pedestrian bridge to Concourse A now through March 26, 2008. If you want to see it on a layover, note that it is outside the security checkpoint.
