Steamboat Winter Carnival Lighted Ski

Winter Carnival – Steamboat Springs | February

FacebookTwitter

Every winter the Yampa Valley lights up whenever the first ice blocks arrive in downtown Steamboat Springs signifying that the Winter Carnival is near. They rest patiently street-side, waiting to be sculpted for the annual event.

This five-day cold-weather affair covers everything from horse-pulled skiers to a torched run down from mid-mountain. The Winter Carnival parties are from Wednesday to Sunday, February 8th to 12th, 2023.
