Cloud City Ski Club was founded in 1989. It originally housed Alpine and Nordic programs for the Leadville community.  Jeff Maddex was a founding director and worked with a variety of community members to bring the ski team to life. Don Quinn was the guiding force for the nordic programs, coaching numerous All-Americans and Colorado State Champions throughout his storied career. Over the years the Nordic element broke away and Cloud City focused on Alpine racing. In 2019 these programs were brought back together to help parents and the community have one ski program to support and to help young athletes navigate both Nordic and Alpine skiing.  In 2020 Cloud City Mountain Sports was formed and continues the mission of Cloud City Ski Club.  In recent years, we have expanded to include mountain biking and snowboarding.
