0:31Now PlayingAmerica’s founding fathers traded powdered wigs for ski goggles on Monday, carving turns down the mountain at Purgatory Resort in celebration of Presidents’ Day.
Actors portrayed George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln skiing the slopes and posed for photos with guests throughout the day.
The appearances were part of the Presidents’ Day Society, a group that marks the federal holiday with historical costume visits across the country. The event brings history to life while highlighting the legacies — and larger-than-life personalities — of U.S. presidents.
Skiers and snowboarders stopped to snap selfies as “Washington” and “Lincoln” glided past chairlifts, while “Roosevelt” — known for his love of the outdoors — seemed especially at home in the mountain setting.
Resort officials said the event has become a Presidents’ Day tradition, offering families a chance to mix history with holiday fun on the slopes.
