112th Steamboat Winter Carnival

The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, one of the largest and oldest winter sports clubs in the U.S., hosts the 112th Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival, the oldest continuing winter carnival west of the Mississippi. For several days, the entire town is given over to racing, ski jumping, a parade featuring Steamboat’s skiing high school band (the only one in the U.S.), ski jöring events down snow packed Lincoln Avenue and the spectacular night show featuring the legendary Lighted Man and a fireworks display.
