It started life as Whitetooth Ski Area, a smaller facility owned by the town of Golden, but was bought out and expanded in 1999, to be reopened under the new name on December 8, 2000.

One run, It's a 10, is 10 km long and connects the runs in the main Bowl areas. In 2002 a new chairlift (Stairway to Heaven) was added to allow access to a third bowl (Feuz Bowl), which generally sees less traffic. In 2010, a fourth bowl to the south of the existing resort (Super Bowl) was added to the area adding over 300 metres of new vertical.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
