A neat vintage card, probably from the 1960s of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Mammoth Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine (fresh water limestone depostied around mineral springs). It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate - over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution).

Vail Ski Resort in located near the town of Vail in Colorado. It is the third largest single mountain ski resort in the United States. It opened in 1962. Vail Ski Resort is modelled after Bavarian village styles with pedestrian streets. There are 39 ski lifts of various types - gondola, high speed six, high speed quad, fixed triple, T-bar, and platters.  I think this card must be an ad card for these guys. My first thought is they were 'finance bros." On the back, however, it reads "Christopher, Denton, Kendall, the skiing real estate brokers."
