Comments & Discussion

This ticket would have given a skier access to the T-bar as well as the chairlift. The tickets specifically for the T-bar used different verbiage.

Berthoud Pass was one of the ski resorts on Weldon, Williams & Lick’s long list of ski area clients in Colorado. They also made lift tickets for Winter Park, Eldora, Breckenridge, and likely others.

Condition, Aging & Authenticity: The date stamp on the front shows some fading, but the rest of the ink on the front and back is holding well. There is slight damage to the top edge, and a few white specks on the back, but no major damage or condition issues upon arrival.
