Steamboat Winter Carnival Lighted Ski

107 Winter Carnivals and Counting

FacebookTwitter

Every winter the Yampa Valley lights up whenever the first ice blocks arrive, days early in downtown Steamboat. They rest patiently street-side, waiting to be sculpted for annual Winter Carnival.

This five-day cold weather affair covers everything from horse-pulled skiers to a torched run down from mid mountain. The Winter Carnival parties from Wednesday to Sunday, February 5th to 9th, 2020.
