Ski Rio T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

Ski Rio near Costilla, New Mexico, opened in the 1982-83 season as Rio Costilla Ski Area, 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, took the name 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 tall hand-drawn lettering on Ski Rio's own late-1990s trail map, with a snowflake in its center diamond.
