Rio Costilla Ski Area T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

Rio Costilla Ski Area near Costilla, New Mexico, opened in the 1982-83 season, built by a local livestock cooperative on its ranch in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just below the Colorado line. It started with a triple chair, 14 trails and a base at 9,500 feet.

A second triple and a used double chair from Stowe, Vermont, later stretched the vertical to about 2,150 feet. The area changed owners many times, became Ski Rio in the late 1980s, and courted snowboarders. Poor snow closed it in January 2000, and it never reopened.

About the design: Redrawn from the red swash lettering on Rio Costilla's own early-1980s brochure, under a plain golden winter sun.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
