Skiing on the Grand Mesa had a major shift when the Powderhorn Ski Corporation bought the assets of the modest Grand Mesa Ski Club. In 1966 they cleared new runs, built the first of four chair lifts, and a lodge. Other expansions have followed. Powderhorn is now a large modern ski resort with a ski school, Nordic and Alpine terrain, ice skating rink and condominiums.

History of Veterans Day
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
-from US Department of Veterans Affairs
