TRAILER: ABANDONED - Lost Ski Areas Documentary

A crew of backcountry skiers set out to explore Colorado’s lost ski areas hoping to find adventure amongst the ruins.

Instead, they discover the truth behind what made these areas close their lifts, and they show what skiing used to be like before mega resorts and climate change challenged independently owned ski areas.

Through heart-wrenching interviews with former owners, ski patrol, and historians, The Road West Traveled uncovers what it’s like to be a skier in Colorado's backcountry, and what it means to go from lost to found.

Coming in Fall 2018.
