Ski Idlewild
Ski Idlewild was a small ski area located in Hideaway Park, Colorado (now downtown Winter Park). It began operation in 1961 opened by Dwight and Jean Miller with a blue Pomagalski (now Poma of America) double chair with shield. In 1967 a platter lift was installed, yielding better access to the north ski runs and giving first-time skiers an easier way to access the slopes. At the base of Ski Idlewild was which was ''Idlewild Guest Ranch'', a hotel built three years before the ski area opened. The ''Idlewild Lodge'' hotel, not to be confused with the ''Ski Idlewild base lodge'', was a part of the Idlewild Guest Ranch and featured tennis courts, a swimming pool, a disc golf course, cross country ski trails, and the Idlewild Barn, an ice skating rink. After many years of providing novice skiers with fun and affordable skiing, Ski Idlewild closed on March 20, 1986.
In 1986, the left sheave train (wheel system) of the chairlift failed and fell to the ground. There were no deaths or injuries, but four people had to be evacuated from the lift by the ski patrol. Ski Idlewild could not pay the $550 inspection fee to the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board,〔(Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board )〕 and the ski area was abandoned.〔(Idlewild memoir gives flavor of seventies ski life ) from Colorado Ski History〕 The Idlewild Guest Ranch continued its operation as a cross-country ski area, and the Ski Idlewild base lodge was closed and used for document storage. Idlewild Lodge teamed up with Devil's Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, creating a vast network of cross country ski trails connecting Tabernash, Fraser, and Winter Park. In 1994, the Idlewild Lodge hotel was sold, renovated, and reopened for winter and summer operation until closing again in summer 1996. Up until the close of the hotel in 2002, the ski area was serviced by the Winter Park Resort shuttle, which provided free transportation to Ski Idlewild.
==Ski Idlewild Today==
For six years, Ski Idlewild sat boarded up, though almost all lifts and buildings remained. It became a frequent target of vandals and looters, as well as an occasional hangout for local kids. On July 29, 2008 it was announced that the buildings would be burned to make way for a paved road into the adjacent Rendezvous housing development and a park which will be formed on land the current owner plans to donate to the city.〔(Winter Park's old Idlewild Lodge scheduled to be burned down Saturday ) from Ski-Hi Daily News〕 The next day, however, it was noted that the burning has been delayed and that no date has yet been chosen for the rescheduled destruction.〔(Winter Park's Idlewild Lodge won't be burned Saturday after all ) from Ski-Hi Daily News〕
