Memorial Day

Arc'teryx Presents: TIM

The Colorado Snowsports Museum had a packed house for the Arc'teryx premiere of Tim. We welcomed Tim Sackbauer, his family, friends, and our community for three back to back showings of this powerful film. Through skiing, Tim finds a refuge for expression, solace, and the autonomy to experience the world on his own terms.

Thank you, Tim, and to everyone who came out. If you missed the showings, watch the film below.

Commemorative Flag Program

Remember & Honor

In honor of your loved one, this is a meaningful way to pay tribute to 10th Mountain Division soldiers. The Museum will hang a 10th Mountain Division flag on the truss above the Museum's front door. In the window to the right, we will tell the story of your loved one. The photo and story will be in the window along with the flag. Once flown, we will send you the flag that was hung and a certificate that states this flag was hung in honor of your loved one. We invite you to recognize their service and sacrifice while supporting a good cause. Proceeds from the program will go towards fulfilling the Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame’s mission to celebrate Colorado snow sports by telling stories, including those of veterans, that educate and inspire others to seek adventure. Help us keep the 10th Mountain Division legacy alive.
