Springalicious | April 1-14, 2024

Incredible Colorado bluebird sunny days, hilarious and fun events and a boatload of snow mean spring will shine a whole lot brighter in Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A.®. Steamboat celebrates the close of the winter season with a weeklong festival, including Springalicious festivities, fun events such as the Cardboard Classic and Splashdown Pond Skim and FREE music concerts.

CARDBOARD CLASSIC | APRIL 13, 2024

The Cardboard Classic, Steamboat's traditional rite of spring returns to the Steamboat Ski Area for the 42nd year. This wild and hilarious race features homemade cardboard crafts, constructed only from cardboard, glue, string, water based paint, duct tape, masking tape, balloons and other decorations, racing down Stampede to a hysterical finish. These ingenious creations make for an event not to be missed.


SPLASHDOWN POND SKIM | APRIL 14, 2024

The Splashdown Pond Skim Championship hits Steamboat once again. Celebrating another fantastic season at Steamboat, this event has antics like you wouldn't believe. The Splashdown Pond Skim brings brave (and slightly crazy) skiers and riders in costume with a dream – of crossing the icy pond successfully – and, if they're lucky, with style!


And there you have it - the lowdown on all the epic end-of-season fun waiting for you in Colorado's mountain resort towns! From slushy slopes to sunny skies, and concerts to pond skimming, there's something for everyone as we say farewell to another incredible ski season. Until the snow flies again...
