Ski Steamboat For Pete's Sake
The story of Steamboat Springs, Colorado told by third-generation local, Pete Wither. Pete covers events from the gold rush up north in Hahn's Peak, to early downtown Steamboat development, and of course the birth of Steamboat Resort to present.
Pete was born and raised in Steamboat and only left for a short while to serve in Vietnam and live in Winter Park, Colorado as a patroller in the 60s. He and his wife, Barbi, were integral parts of the Steamboat Ski Resort effort including clearing trails, building lifts, running ski patrol and Barbi as a long time ski lesson supervisor.
Pete is an epic storyteller and covers many lesser known stories about Steamboat including when the Gondola car fell over 200 feet in 1972, and an hero-like rescue of every person on the Gondola was safely conducted (as well as very little press).
Enjoy listening to all of Pete's stories - with Barbi's shoutouts from the kitchen - in short 25 minutes or less episodes.
