Cuchara Mountain Park

Experience the incredible rebirth of Cuchara Mountain Park, where the historic Panadero Ski Area has been transformed into a thriving, community-supported outdoor destination in Southern Colorado. After 25 years of silence, lift-served skiing is back in Huerfano County thanks to the grassroots efforts of the Panadero Ski Corporation and the Cuchara Foundation, with the legendary Chair 4 now certified and spinning. This nonprofit park offers affordable winter sports, including skiing and snowboarding, alongside year-round mountain adventures like hiking, disc golf, and a bike playground in the heart of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Watch to see how this volunteer-driven triumph is revitalizing Cuchara, Colorado, and learn how you can support this unique nonprofit ski area through donations and visits.
