...activity is most frantic at Colorado's $13 million Snowmass-at-Aspen, far and away the biggest new winter resort to be developed since Alec Gushing (TIME cover, Feb. 9, 1959) built up Squaw Valley for the 1960 Olympics. At Snowmass, Bill Janss, 49, a millionaire Los Angeles land developer and onetime U.S. Olympic Team skier, has carved out 2,000 acres of slopes with 50 miles of trails and five double-chair lifts on Mount Baldy (13,-162 ft.), which have already matched the ski area of the three nearby mountains served by the town of Aspen proper...

This year the judges faced south and chose a pretty Pueblo maiden. As beauty queens go, Wahleah Lujan, 18, might be a mite plump, but she had a face Pocahontas could envy and plenty of other assets: a sophomore at Colorado's Fort Lewis College, her primitive Indian abstractions...
...skis, placing them hundreds of feet apart. Sometimes husbands and wives will leave a his-her pair on one side of the lodge, their mates mated off on the other, and stomp off to have a carefree lunch. But even that is not infallible. Recently a racer at Squaw Valley stashed his Head Competitor skis in widely separated locations, only to find when he returned that they had been replaced with a matching pair of gouged wooden ones...
