Sixty Years of Skiing at Vail
During World War II, Massachusetts native Pete Seibert joined the U.S. Army's Tenth Mountain Division which trained at Camp Hale, near Leadville, Colorado. During the training, Seibert and Earl Eaton, two members of the Tenth Mountain Division, became familiar with the surrounding terrain, and area they thought would become resorts in later decades.
They discovered a peak that they believed to be well-located and with good snow, calling it No-name Mountain, which later became Vail Ski Resort. Vail was founded as a ski resort 60 years ago in 1962 by Eaton, and Seibert with others.
In May 1970, Denver was awarded the 1976 Winter Olympics. Vail was later selected (in early 1972) to host the alpine competitions. However, Colorado voters denied funding by a 3:2 ratio that November, and the games were relocated to Innsbruck in Austria. President Gerald Ford and family continued to vacation at their Vail home, bringing it international exposure. In 1976, a gondola cable snagged on a support tower on Friday, March 26, and two cabins derailed, killing four people and injuring eight.
