Kingsbury Pitcher
Pitcher and his family acquired property and moved to Aspen in 1951, where he joined Friedl Pfeifer and Fred Iselin as a ski instructor. He later became ski school supervisor and was one of the first certified instructors in the Rocky Mountain Ski Instructors Association. In 1957, Pitcher was informally commissioned to look into a location for a major new ski resort in Colorado and was involved in the planning of Snowmass from 1958 to 1960. Pitcher acquired an interest in Buttermilk Mountain and he was involved in the planning and development of Arrowhead. Pitcher purchased Wolf Creek ski area in the late 1970s, an iconic southern Colorado resort still owned by the Pitcher family.
