Community Feedback Wanted
The City of Steamboat Springs is currently seeking input on fencing at Rita Valentine Park. Currently the City and Steamboat Digs Dogs is pursuing fencing options for a small portion of the park. A sample section of fence has been installed at the park, and users are asked to visit and weigh in. Log on to engagesteamboat.net for background information, to learn more about the plan, and to provide your feedback.
Become A Ski Free Sponsor
This past June, City Council approved free skiing on Sundays at Howelsen Hill through the 2021/2022 season. We are excited to announce a new opportunity to join in the fun as a Ski Free Sunday sponsor and help support the future of this unique community asset. All sponsorship proceeds go directly to the Howelsen Hill Ski Area Endowment Fund held at the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. Visit the link for more details.
FEATURED EVENTS
Ski Free Sundays
With a little help from Mother Nature, and a lot of hard work from snowmaking crews, Howelsen Hill was able to enjoy its earliest opening ever on November 14. That also means more Ski Free Sundays for the season! Early season conditions exist, and terrain is limited, but skiers and riders will be able to enjoy Sundays at Howelsen Hill for FREE throughout the remainder of the season. We hope to see you on the slopes!
Black Friday Checkout
This Black Friday, Howelsen Ice Arena is joining forces with UCHealth to disconnect from devices and reconnect with family and friends. Come CHECKOUT with us on Black Friday and spend a family afternoon on the ice. There will be FREE public skate from 2 PM to 3:45 PM on Friday, November 29. All you need to do is show up, the skate rentals and ice time are on us! Visit the link to learn how you can CHECKOUT!
