Rees Ski Ranch

Rees Ski Ranch is an abandoned ski area located in the Colorado high country, representing a snapshot of mid-20th century ski development in the Rocky Mountains. Once a modest regional resort, the property now stands as a historical site for backcountry enthusiasts and ski historians exploring Colorado's skiing heritage. While lift-served operations have ceased, the terrain remains accessible for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing during winter months, offering untracked powder opportunities in a quieter, less-developed setting compared to modern resorts. The surrounding high alpine terrain provides excellent opportunities for summer hiking, wildflower viewing, and photography among classic Colorado peaks.
