Comments & Discussion
Weldon Williams & Lick made many of the lift tickets in Colorado during this time period. They were still making the tickets for Winter Park as late as 1984 or later.
This style of lift ticket was used by Winter Park in other years during this time period, but other tickets cannot be dated to any specific year by simply looking at them. Only the 30th anniversary tickets have the year added to their front.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: All of the tickets appear to have natural browning in the white border areas. All of them arrived at the archives with no bending or warping, no creases, and all were relatively flat, with no damage. The hand-stamped text on the backsides shows signs of natural fading.
