Conquistador Ski Resort

Conquistador Ski Resort is an abandoned ski area located in Colorado's high country, now primarily of historical interest to backcountry skiers and adventurous explorers. The resort operated as a small-to-mid-sized ski destination but has since closed, leaving behind a compelling piece of Colorado ski history. Today, the terrain and surrounding alpine meadows attract backcountry skiers and snowshoers seeking solitude and access to untracked powder in the surrounding wilderness. The location offers opportunities for summer hiking and photography across the alpine terrain, with expansive views typical of Colorado's high-elevation geography.
