About Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill is an abandoned ski area located in the Colorado high country, now primarily of historical interest to backcountry skiers and winter enthusiasts exploring Colorado's skiing heritage. The site offers access to high alpine terrain suitable for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing during winter months, with the surrounding peaks and valleys providing excellent touring opportunities. During summer and fall, the location transitions to hiking and alpine exploration terrain, with views across the Continental Divide. The abandoned resort infrastructure makes this destination best suited for experienced backcountry recreationalists rather than resort skiers seeking developed runs and services.
