FEBRUARY 2016

Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival Wed. Feb. 3, 2016- Sun. Feb. 7, 2016 Steamboat Springs, CO CELEBRATE 103 YEARS OF WINTER TRADITION IN STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Mention a parade and fireworks and people say that’ s 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. Saturday and Sunday highlight the event with the Winter Carnival Street Events and the Night Show Extravaganza. The Street Events feature local Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club kids being pulled on skis behind horses right down Main Street in downtown Steamboat. A crowd favorite, the“ Donkey Jump”, sends kids soaring off a jump for up to 40, or even 50 feet.( 970) 879-0880 http:// www. steamboatchamber. com / info / events / sbcccalendarevent. winter _ carnival _ 12. item. asp
