103rd Annual Winter Carnival

From 103rd Annual Winter Carnival Website:

Winter Carnival was started by the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club (SSWSC) as a way to help residents cope with cabin fever during the height of the Colorado winter season.

The event continues to this day as a way to celebrate winter; as a reason for neighbors to gather; and as an opportunity for everyone to experience a piece of Ski Town USA history and tradition.

CELEBRATE 103 YEARS OF WINTER TRADITION IN STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Mention a parade and fireworks and people say thats typical. Talk about adults on shovels being pulled down main street behind horses or skiers jumping through fiery hoops and people stop to listen. In Steamboat Springs we do things differently, and with the oldest, continuous Winter Carnival west of the Mississippi, this event is certainly no different.
