This is it! The final Ski Ascent Series race of the season is tomorrow! Join us for the Sunset Vertical at Steamboat Resort. This lung-busting 2,200 foot ascent to the top of Thunderhead is the perfect way to close out another great season. No transitions, no kick turns, just some good old fashioned uphill fun with breathtaking views. For this final race there will also be a foot division. Run, hike, or snowshoe to the top, then enjoy a scenic ride down the gondola while you enjoy the post-race sunset. Stick around after the race for food, beverages, giveaways, and end-of-season awards.

Parks & Recreation is seeking qualified proposals from professional vendors to administer a Yampa River Ambassador Program over the summer months that shares educational and recreational responsibility elements with the public.

In addition, the program would share information on responsible river recreation and water use. Proposals must be submitted via the city's electronic submission system BidNet no later than 5 PM on March 24. Visit the website to review additional requirements and to apply.
