Ski Free Sunday at Howelsen Hill
No reservations required! Sunday Funday is taken to an entirely new level as Howelsen Hill hosts Free Skiing every Sunday throughout the winter season. Now your family can enjoy the slopes for absolutely FREE at North America’s Oldest Operating Ski Area and Steamboat’s original ski area.
Colorado’s most affordable Sunday lift ticket is a way to celebrate the community’s Olympian spirit and honor the tradition of this historic ski area. Skiing since 1915, Howelsen Hill has produced nearly 100 winter Olympians and has helped generations of Steamboat residents enjoy the sport.
During the season, it’s as easy as simply stopping into the Ticket Office to pick up your free ticket, which is required to access the lifts and the Nordic trails (cross-country, fat bike and snowshoe) on these special ski free days.
After each Ski Free Sunday, continue your Free Spree that same day at Mountain Tap Brewery (910 Yampa Street) with a free beer (certain beers excluded) or a cauldron of popcorn from 2 PM to 5 PM by simply showing your Ski Free Sunday lift ticket. The brewery even crafted a special seasonal beer in honor of the ski area – Howelsen Haze IPA.
