Black, White and Panoramic for a 100 yr Celebration!

Once named Storm Peak, Mt. Werner located in Steamboat Springs, CO is still home to the famous "Champagne Powder", and having produced the most Olympic Athletes.  This week, the City of Steamboat will celebrate their 100th birthday of Winter Carnival.  For those who wish to grab a piece of true western cowboy life, with a panache of rip roaring ski time fun, a trip to downtown Lincoln Avenue will offer skiers being dragged by horses, the high school band playing instruments while shuffling along on skis, a lighted man skiing down Howelsen Hill at night, the ring of fire, where temporarily insane ski patrollers race down the ski jumping hill through fire and even a few brave souls who ride their bikes down the ski hill.  It's 5days of rip roaring fun and events that includes the entire town, tourists and "locals" alike.  So, come on down to Steamboat Springs and play a part in the oldest winter carnival west of the mighty Mississippi.
