According to the Alamosa Daily Courier, over 1000 cars showed up for the Ski-Hi’s grand opening on Thurs., June 1, 1950, and the Colorado Highway Patrol had to be called to regulate traffic as hundreds were turned away. Many parked on the shoulders to watch the fireworks display, which probably followed the drive-in’s first movie, “Belle Starr’s Daughter” starring George Montgomery.

At the other end of its life, the Ski-Hi’s final movie was “A Very Brady Sequel” on Thurs., Sept. 5, 1996.
