PARKS & RECREATION ROUNDUP
January 27, 2022
Welcome to the Parks & Recreation Roundup, a bi-monthly publication aimed at
keeping the community informed on our programs, events, and partnerships
DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Outdoor Rinks Now Open
The outdoor ice rinks at Howelsen Hill are now officially open to the public. The rinks are free to use, but you will need to provide your own skates. The rink is open daily from 7 AM to 9 AM and again in the evening from 5 PM to 10 PM. We ask that you refrain from using the rinks during the middle of the day when temperatures are the warmest so that you don't damage the ice and skating can continue all season.
Serve Your City
Help shape our future by serving on one of our committees or commissions. Currently we are seeking members to join both the Ice Rink Advisory Committee (IRAC) and the Parks & Recreation Commission. Both are two year positions, with terms expiring in March 2024. All members receive a Family Season Pass to Howelsen Hill Ski Area. Visit the website for more details about each position and to apply today!
The Outrun Snack Bar
Don't forget to check out the new Outrun Snack Bar at the Howelsen Hill Lodge. Whether you are taking a break from skiing or just looking for a delicious and affordable lunch or unique happy hour location, The Outrun has you covered. This new addition offers a variety of snacks, sandwiches and soups, along with a full bar menu. The Outrun is open Monday - Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM and weekends 10 AM to 4PM.
Ski With Council
Come visit with your City Council during Ski Free Sunday's this season. This is the perfect opportunity to interact with your current city council members in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Ask questions, learn more about council goals, and discuss current events and issues. Look for the City Council tent/table outside the Howelsen Hill Lodge each Ski Free Sunday from 10 AM to 12 PM. We hope to see you there!
Olympian Celebration
Steamboat Springs is known for producing the most winter Olympians of any town in the US, 100 and counting, so it is only fitting that the entire community is invited to celebrate our athletes and the upcoming Winter Olympic Games. Join us, along with the SSWSC, Steamboat Springs Chamber and Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation on Saturday, February 5 at Howelsen Hill for the Olympian Community Celebration!
