Ahead of the 2026 winter games, Steamboat honors our heritage with an Olympian Celebration in Steamboat Square. A favorite local tradition, this event celebrates previous Olympians, current athletes and the Steamboat community. Join us for a recognition of athletes, thank you videos, a drone show, and the official lighting of the cauldron. Events are followed by a dance party and Olympian meet and greet in the square.
It all began over 50 years ago when Billy Kidd, Steamboat’s director of skiing, and Larry Mahan, six-time all-around World Champion cowboy, decided to invite a few of the ProRodeo stars to Steamboat for a day of skiing. The cowboys had such a great time that the downhill has become the most popular event of the season with over 100 of the best professional rodeo cowboys competing in the most unique ski rodeo in the country.
The Cowboy Downhill is an annual ski rodeo in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where professional rodeo cowboys swap their saddles for skis to compete in a unique race. The event includes a timed dual slalom race where competitors ski through gates, jump, lasso a person, saddle a horse, and cross the finish line, followed by a chaotic “Stampede” free-for-all race. It’s held in conjunction with the National Western Stock Show and combines the town’s ski culture with its Western heritage.
