WELCOME TO STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Photo by Julie McNally

Springtime in Steamboat Springs is legendary for

bluebird skies, three-sport days, neon green aspen trees and warm après afternoons.

Spring skiing, in t-shirts and shell pants – plus plenty of sunscreen – is so much more laidback than frenzied powder days that for many locals, it’s the most fun time of ski season.

Fishing at the Stagecoach Reservoir tailwaters is superb, and the lakes start to open up too. Three local golf courses begin taking tee times as soon as the green grass allows, and early season hiking and biking opportunities expand daily.

Whitewater rafting and kayaking kick in as the spring runoff intensifies, and Fish Creek Falls puts on a display that is as photogenic as it is awe-inspiring. The days grow longer while the weather tends to be cool, creating perfect conditions for the Steamboat Marathon, one of the most scenic 26-mile courses in the country.

Diners begin to move outdoors, enjoying balcony, deck and sidewalk seating. Springtime shopping means sales, like the annual Sidewalk Sale held in March, and monthly First Friday Art Walk.

Spring is a time of anticipation, when first-time visitors are filled with excitement about their upcoming trip to Steamboat Springs, or the memories of previous fun-filled summer days in Steamboat are top of mind as returning guests begin making their plans to come back and see us soon.

We’d love to help you plan your visit to Steamboat, whether it’s a weekend getaway, corporate retreat, sports tournament, wedding or family vacation. Please give us a call at 970-879-0880, visit our website at steamboatsummer.com or stop by the Visitor Center when you get to town.

We look forward to seeing you!

SPRING IN THE ’BOAT HISTORIC STEAMBOAT

After the snow melts, Steamboat’s flora and fauna spring to life at the Yampa River Botanic Park.

The soul of the Yampa Valley is its agriculture and mining heritage.

Learn about people, places and events at the heart of the community at the Tread of Pioneers Museum on Eighth and Oak Streets. Pick up a self-guided map or sign up for several walking tours run by the museum. Discover historic buildings as you shop downtown, and stop at the Steamboat Art Museum on Eighth Street and Lincoln Avenue to view mixed media exhibits by Western artists.

SCENIC STEAMBOAT Nowhere shouts “spring” like the roar of the snowmelt-fueled waters of Fish Creek Falls. The 283-foot waterfall pours out of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. A handicap-accessible trail goes to the overlook, with miles of unpaved terrain meandering onwards from the base of the falls. Located four miles east of downtown Steamboat Springs, $5 daily parking fee applies. A year-long picture postcard: Rabbit Ears Pass holds on to its snowy blanket long after it disappears from the valley floor. Miles of trails take snowshoers, Nordic skiers, snowmobilers and hikers through open expanses and densely wooded forests to elevated viewpoints or, in late spring, abundant wildflower meadows.

A panoramic vista rewards hikers atop Summit Loop 1A. Follow the Elk River on a leisurely drive to North Routt, passing through Steamboat’s ranching country. Stop at the Clark store for coffee and a home-baked goodie before taking an easy hike by Steamboat Lake.

ACTION STEAMBOAT Springtime means three-sport days. Head out early morning for a cross country ski on Howelsen Hill, hop on a bike and ride the Yampa River Core Trail or lower Spring Creek Trail, then paddle down the Yampa River in a kayak. Wake up and repeat with a whole new set of activities. Cast a line or two, fishing the Yampa River in the morning. Hike up to the old quarry on Emerald Mountain,

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

NORDIC SKIING Spring conditions can bring new opportunities for cross- country skiers. As snow melts on warmer days, then freezes again on chilly nights, a crust forms on the surface. Affectionately known as skiing the crust, locals head out early in the morning to Rabbit Ears Pass, where they glide for miles.

SKI TOURING CENTER Steamboat Spring’s longest running full-service ski touring center offers flat and graded terrain for all abilities of classic and skate skiers. 15 km of flat and undulating trails offer an exciting mix of panoramic vistas and snow covered aspen groves to explore. Family-owned and operated, the center offers rentals, lessons and clinics, plus homemade lunches and snacks. www.steamboatnordiccenter.com / 970-879-8180

How should you dress?

It’s all about layers, and watching what the weather is doing. Conditions in the mountains change rapidly, so be prepared.

Remember early mornings, even in summer, can be cool, but by 10 a.m. it can be really

BRAD PISKE

Texan Brad Piske grew up competing in triathlons.

He moved to Steamboat Springs in 1994 to raise a family of his own. Piske is a Nordic coach for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, Steamboat Springs Swim Team and the Triathlon Club. An advocate of multi-sport training, he relishes the ability to vary workouts based on the season.

What are your favorite ways to train in spring?

Skate skiing on a warm day, classic cross country skiing when it’s cooler, especially backcountry after a spring storm.

Swimming laps at the Old Town Hot Springs. If the ground is not muddy, then a trail run on the Hot Springs Trail, lower Emerald Mountain or Lower Spring Creek. As it warms up, paddle boarding to work every muscle, or a bike ride.

Best Steamboat events to enter, if you’ve never done a race here?

We have so many great choices, but for the fun factor; Hakan Nordic Fest or the Steamboat Pentathlon. The Old Town Winter Blast Triathlon at the Old Town Hot Springs is fun but for summer, any of the weekly bike, running or swim series are excellent.

What advice do you have for working out at altitude?

What can you expect at a Steamboat sporting event?

SPRING ON WATER Public fishing opportunities abound in Steamboat Springs.

Stagecoach and Sarvis Creek can be excellent in winter. For the best early spring option as ice begins to melt, head to Steamboat Lake and Pearl Lake. By late spring, fish the Yampa River downtown.

During run-off, fishing on the Yampa is at its best mornings and mid-afternoons. Remember to dress in layers, wear a hat and sunglasses. Catch-and-release restrictions apply and a fishing license is required. Only artificial flies and lures are permitted.

See VG 45.

PADDLEBOARDING One of the fastest growing water sports is stand-up paddleboarding. After the chill of snowmelt passes and the lakes shed their icy cover, step on a paddleboard, find your balance and test your core strength to the max. Beginners will enjoy calmer waters found at the upper stretches of the Yampa River or cruising around Fetcher Pond and local lakes. Challenging rapids can be found downstream from the Bud Werner Library, or on day trips to the Upper Colorado River. See VG 44.

BARRY SMITH

Barry Smith has been exploring rivers and canyons his whole life. A long-time Steamboat Springs resident, Smith moved here in 1980 and founded Mountain Sports Kayak School.

Options for a more advanced kayaker?

First off, what should you wear for kayaking in spring?

Is there anything you should consider before setting off downstream?

What advice do you have for a beginner on where to go?

An excellent place to practice is the junction of Walton Creek and the Yampa River, where the water is flat. From there you can ease into the Yampa. Fetcher Pond is another still

It’s a good idea to scout the river from the road where possible. This is especially true of the Elk, where we sometimes come across logs. Know ahead of time where you are planning to get out and make sure you will recognize it.

Deborah Olsen

Dress as you would to go skiing. Personally I like long underwear, windproof pants and a dry top, adding wool socks and booties.

Dress for the water temperature, not the weather outside.

A great spot is the class III (IV when river is high), upper Elk River from Box Canyon to the Home Ranch. The further downstream you go on the Yampa River, the faster it gets. Big waves can be found at the C and D holes, near Bud Werner Memorial Library and the Depot.

Always smiling when he’s doing what he loves the most: talking about, or being on the river.

RAFTING Available from mid-May onwards, head off down the river on a guided rafting trip. For an exhilarating early season option, try the Elk River or travel south of Steamboat to the canyons of the Colorado River as the weather warms. Float trips vary in intensity along the Yampa River, giving rafters the opportunity for a mellow ride or blasting through Class IV waters at nearby Cross Mountain.

One of the catalysts for raising awareness of the 270-mile Yampa River as the last remaining major free-flowing river in the seven-state Colorado River Basin, the festival has morphed into a not-to-be missed event.

SPRING ON WHEELS

Racers in the USA Pro Challenge swarm a bend on County Road 14 during the epic August event.

Deborah Olsen

While Steamboat Springs may be most commonly known as Ski Town USA, another sport is stealing headlines of late: biking. We’re talking everything from BMX to road biking. Jaw dropping mountain passes, gentle rolling hills, countless miles of single track and mixed terrain with little traffic and mega views have earned Steamboat the title Bike Town USA.

FAT BIKES

CRUISING AROUND TOWN

Picture a super-sized mountain bike with seriously treaded large wheels and big handlebars and you have the idea behind the latest craze to hit the Yampa Valley. Bikes essentially float over snow, allowing avid cyclists the ability to keep pedaling all year long.

Howelsen Hill and Catamount Touring Center offer excellent terrain, with a daily use fee. Bikers are asked to remain cognizant of snow conditions, to avoid damaging trails.

The 7.5 mile, fully paved Yampa River Core Trail connects the mountain area to Steamboat’s west end. An easy ride for all abilities, the trail follows the river past landmarks including Rotary Park, Fetcher Pond, Yampa River Botanic Park, Howelsen Hill Sports Complex, Downtown, Bud Werner Memorial Library, The Depot and the Community Center. Fully signed, the trail offers spots to stop for a picnic and seating to watch fisherman and kayakers play in the river.

VG 18 | ONLINE AT WWW.STEAMBOATCHAMBER.COM

ROAD BIKING Mile after mile of undulating paved roads surrounded by spectacular vistas make the perfect setting for exploring on wheels. Local favorite rides can be anything from a quick lunch-hour spin or a daylong venture with friends. Starting in town, riders have a plethora of roads to travel. Routt County Road 14, or River Road, follows the Yampa River from town south through picturesque ranching country.

A tougher ride awaits on Twenty Mile Road, where hills prevail but views keep you pedaling. Elk River Road (Routt County Road 129) initially meanders alongside the Elk River before opening to vast, scenic, ranching countryside. A narrow ride in places with an elevation gain of over 3,500 ft, this local favorite is made even more worthwhile by stopping at North Routt’s historic Clark Store for its famous ice cream.

MOUNTAIN BIKING The best in-town rides can be found on Emerald Mountain, with an extensive network of Forest Service trails dotting the surrounding Routt National Forest. The first single tracks to open after the snow melts are Hot Springs Trail and Mad Creek Trail, both trailheads are accessed from Elk River Road (Routt County Road 129).

PUMP IT Find air, practice jumps, test your balance or skid your way around the 950-foot BMX track at the bottom of Howelsen Hill, Ski Time Square’s pump track or Bear River Bike Park at the west end of the Yampa River Core Trail.

Steamboat’s official kickoff to bike season. Clinics, races and rides are offered for all abilities. Fun events run throughout the week with live music and entertainment. Monday-Saturday, June 8-14. www.steamboatbiketown.com

Honeystinger Director of Sales Jenn Shea and husband, Kerry, co-owner of McKnight’s Irish Pub and Resort Ventures West, have called Steamboat Springs home since 2007.

Parents of Margaux, 9, and Claire, 7, they know a thing or two about sharing quality family time in the Yampa Valley.

DAY ONE There’s no better way to start a family day off than a homemade breakfast at Creekside Cafe. Fully charged for some outdoor fun, a wonderful way to spend a half-day is dog sledding with Grizzle-T Dog and Sled Works. The scenery is spectacular and kids always love being around the dogs. Warm apple cider and cookies with a hot toddy for grownups makes for a rewarding way to finish.

Home to relax for awhile, then head up to the ski area for an early pizza dinner at Slopeside Grill, before hitting the slopes for night skiing. It can be chilly so extra layers for kids will ensure they have fun.

THREE PERFECT FAMILY DAYS

Nine-year-old Margaux Shea takes a moment getting to know a new-found furry friend.

DAY TWO After all the action the previous day, indulge everyone with a famous Steamboat breakfast treat. Winona’s cinnamon rolls are a crowd-stopper; utterly decadent, and so large you can share. Take the long way, by walking to Howelsen Ice Arena and pass the oldest ski area west of the Mississippi, Howelsen Hill. Don your skates and hit the Olympic-sized rink during open skate time.

While away the afternoon at Old Town Hot Springs, soaking in the naturally heated pools while challenging each other to scale the outdoor climbing wall. Zip down the water slides or swim some laps.

No doubt everyone has worked up an appetite, so collect the team for an evening at McKnight’s Irish Pub. Low-key and casual, families love the game loft, where you’ll find pool, ping pong and darts. Stay and play, or meander down a block to the Wildhorse Cinema and catch a flick.

Take kids on a scavenger hunt at Tread of Pioneers Museum and learn what it was like living out West all those years ago. Step into the present and experience Steamboat’s new and only store just for kids. Check out the gaming area, shop, or have a coffee while they get a mini-me beauty treatment at In Celebration of Kids on Lincoln Avenue.

Bundle up again for an adrenaline-packed afternoon of tubing at Saddleback Ranch on the outskirts of town. It’s a blast for all ages, and you don’t even need to climb back uphill; all the hard work is done for you. When the snow melts, switch tubing for horse riding, which in our family is always a crowd-pleaser.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Where would you suggest someone coming to town should ride?

What type of terrain should riders expect?

Trails around Steamboat vary from aspen or open sagebrush-covered hillsides to rugged rocky trails or dense evergreen forests. There is a ton of underbrush compared to other parts of the state, so it just feels so alive to be out in the forest.

For those who have never ridden Western, what advice would you give?

Relax and recognize that the fundamentals of all riding styles are similar. The main differences are body position and the contact with the horse’s mouth. The best riders out there are all trying to get their horses to be soft and supple and responsive to leg pressure and movement of the rider’s body. It’s good to try it for the first time in a setting where the instructor/guide/wrangler will really help you understand the hows and whys of riding.

 Snow Tubing  Snowmobile Tours   Dinner Sleigh Rides  Horseback Rides  www.saddlebackranch.net | 970.879.3711

What should you wear?

Preferably cowboy or riding boots, but failing that a shoe with a smooth sole and distinct heel, no treads. Jeans will prevent rubbing on your legs, and a trick for long rides: wear bike shorts underneath, it’ll save your backside!

Dress in layers, wear sunscreen and a hat, preferably a helmet.

Any advice for taking children?

With kids, the nose-to-tail ride is best. It’s important for them to be taught how to steer, stop and go, but it takes time to master that.

If they get bored, play the stick game. Find a stick and place it on the branch of a tree as you ride by on the trail. Your kid has to pick up that stick and then place it on another branch down the trail….and it goes on like that down the line.

Best thing about horse riding here?

The beauty and knowing the cultural history of ranching and horses in this valley. As Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”

Do you have any favorite tour stops?

The original town square, which was not on Lincoln Avenue, but on Pine Street between Seventh and Eighth streets.

I love this stop because it’s where it all began with the original school, library and church. These buildings ooze the character of this town.

Favorite character from the valley’s history?

I’m spellbound by Margaret Duncan Brown aka the Shepherdess of Elk River Valley. She ranched cattle and sheep and homesteaded alone up near Clark, defying the odds against her upbringing and cultural norms of the time, (1918 to 1960s).

She possessed buckets of grit –physically, mentally and emotionally.

Most surprising facts?

When Ragner Omtvedt broke the world ski jumping record on Feb. 23, 1916, on Howelsen Hill, he did it temporarily blinded. The water froze in his eyes midway through the jump, and he landed without being able to see the ground. This feat put Steamboat Springs on the global map among European ski jumpers. On Jan. 11, 2015, The New York Times travel section listed Howelsen Hill as 19th in their 52 must-see places, proving the legacy lives on.

1 | Tread of Pioneers Museum - 800 Oak St.

6 | The Old Town Pub - 600 Lincoln Ave.

Constructed by Ernest Campbell in 1908, this was home to the Zimmerman family from 1913 to 1956. In 1959, the Tread of Pioneers Museum opened in this building. The Queen Anne-style house was once located at Fifth and Oak streets, and was moved to this location in 1988. The adjoining Utterback House ● was moved to the site in 1997 from its original location at Fourth and Oak. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Built in 1904 by Ernest Campbell, this structure was originally the Albany Hotel. From 1914-1921, the building was a hospital run by Dr. F.E. Willett. After the hospital relocated, the second floor became the popular Odd Fellows dance hall. The first floor served as a grocery, post office, electric store and public library from 1924 to 1967.

8 | First National Bank/Rehder Building - Eighth & Lincoln (Steamboat Art Museum) ●●● The First National Bank of Steamboat Springs, chartered in 1902, occupied a small frame structure on this site until the present building was constructed in 1905. Dakota sandstone from Emerald Mountain and handmade bricks from Trogler’s local brickyard were used in the construction.

9 | Chief Theater - 813 Lincoln Ave. The Chief Theater was the second motion picture theater to open in Steamboat. It was owned by Harry Gordon, a Miami Indian chief who came to Steamboat after making a fortune mining lead, zinc and silver in Oklahoma. The Chief was Steamboat’s first theater equipped for “talkies.”

Doc Willett came to Steamboat from Laramie, Wyo., in 1912 and took ownership of this house following World War I. The well-known doctor made house calls in a bearskin coat.

The Pioneer Building was in continuous use as a hotel from 1923 until 1979. In its heyday, the upstairs rooms were run as a classic Western boarding house and the downstairs housed the colorful Pioneer Bar.

10. Howelsen Hill - Seen from Ninth and Lincoln ●●● Rising up steeply from the south side of the Yampa River, this section of Emerald Mountain is named for Norwegian ski jumper Carl Howelsen, the “Flying Norseman” of Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Carl arrived in Steamboat in 1913 and introduced the townspeople to ski jumping and recreational

skiing. By the 1930s, Howelsen Hill facilities included slalom and downhill courses and a “boat tow” consisting of two sleds pulled up the mountain by a cable powered by a Model T engine and transmission. In 1947, a combination chair/ T-bar lift to the top of Emerald Mountain was installed and was one of the longest lifts in the U.S. at that time.

A 90-meter jump was installed by 1950. Howelsen Hill is the only ski area in Colorado listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places.

brickyard, stone trim and plate glass. A post office occupied a room on the ground floor from 1909 to 1962. In 1920, Chamberlain-Grey Drug Store was the first drug store to occupy this site.

11 | Harwig’s Saddlery - 911 Lincoln Ave. (Harwig’s & L’Apogée) Built in the 1890s, this was originally a drug store, then a meat market. In 1916 it became Harwig’s Saddlery and Western Wear, which was run by the Harwig family until 1984. The historic cowboy sign over the storefront was painted in the 1950s or 1960s by noted Western artist Merrill Mahaffey.

13 | Steamboat Laundry Building - 11th and Oak (The Laundry Restaurant & Creekside Café) ●● Built over a 10-year period starting in 1910, this two-story brick and river rock structure was constructed for the Steamboat Laundry, Dry Cleaning and Pressing business.

14 | Carver Power Plant - Tenth Street between Lincoln and Oak (Centennial Hall) ●● In 1900, a coal-powered plant was devised to make Steamboat Springs the first town in Northwest Colorado to provide its residents with electricity. The steam, a by-product of the system used to create electricity, was used to heat nearby schools and residences. This building was rehabilitated to house city hall.

20 | The Routt County National Bank Building ●● 802 Lincoln Ave. (Wild Horse Gallery) Built in 1918 with stonework by Carl Howelsen, this building is a unique landmark of two different periods. The Lincoln Avenue façade shows the rehabilitated 1918 exterior, and the Eighth Street side displays the changes from the 1940s.

A. and B. Crawford Houses ●● 1238 and 1184 Crawford Ave. The second and third houses built by the Crawfords are still standing. The second home, at 1238 Crawford Ave. (on 12th Street), was built in 1886 from native lumber from the Suttle Mill. The bay window was added later to accommodate their daughter’s wedding reception. The large stone house at 1184 Crawford Ave. ●● was built in 1894 of stone from the Emerald Mountain quarry. The family occupied this house until Mrs. Crawford’s death in 1939.

Crawford’s descendants purchased the house in 2004 and carefully restored it.

C. Historic Chamber of Commerce Building ● (Yampa Valley Land Trust) 1201 Lincoln Ave.

16 | Hugus Building/Thiesen Mall - 912 Lincoln Ave. (Steamboat Smokehouse) Built in 1890, this was the site of J.W. Hugus & Co., one of the nation’s first general store chains. It sold farm equipment, furniture, stoves, feed and gasoline in barrels, among other items, in a facility equipped with electric lights, cash carriers and other labor-saving devices. The store housed Steamboat’s first telephone.

15 | Lorenz Building - 928 Lincoln Ave. This building was completed in 1893 and was originally a general store. In 1912, it became the courthouse when the county seat relocated from Hahn’s Peak. After 1921, the courtroom occupied the second floor, while the clerk, treasurer and jail shared the ground floor. When the present-day courthouse was completed in 1923, the building became the site of a dance hall called the Social Benefit Association or SBA.

The F.M. Light family moved from Hicksville, Ohio, to Steamboat in 1905. Soon after their arrival, they purchased the lot, erected the building and secured enough merchandise to open this clothing store. Light family members traveled throughout Northwest Colorado and southern Wyoming, displaying their merchandise and taking orders from ranchers for Western wear, hats, boots, saddles and equipment. The retail store is still owned by family members.

This building was erected in the 1920s using stone from the Emerald Mountain quarry to frame the windows. Norwegian ski jumper Carl Howelsen completed the brickwork and masonry.

12 | The Old Pilot Building - 1009 Lincoln Ave. (Artists’ Gallery Of Steamboat) James Hoyle began Northwest Colorado’s first newspaper, The Steamboat Pilot, on July 31, 1885. This brick and stone building was constructed in fall 1909 for the newspaper printing office, which occupied the building until 1999.

18 | F.M. Light & Sons - 830 Lincoln Ave.

c

Located along Soda Creek next to the library, this small 1960 structure is one of Czechoslovakian-born architect Eugene Sternberg’s two mid-century modern “usonian style” buildings in downtown Steamboat listed on the National Historic Register.

Sternberg (1915-2005) came to the U.S. after World War II and soon established his architectural practice in Denver. The building’s nearly flat inverted pitch roof gives the visual impression of a butterfly in flight, so locally, the building is known as the “Butterfly Building.”

D. The Depot ●●● 1001 13th St. Designed by famous Denver architect Frank E. Edbrooke, the Depot was completed in 1909, shortly after the Moffat Line reached Steamboat in December 1908. During the early 1910s, Steamboat was the largest cattle-shipping center in the country.

The train provided passenger service until 1968. The Depot now houses the Steamboat Springs Arts Council and the Eleanor Bliss Center for the Arts.

LOCAL BUSINESS PROFILE

F.M. LIGHT & SONS

No one feels this landmark’s sense of history more than its current owner, Lindsay Lockhart Dillenbeck. In 2012 Lindsay and husband, Chris, took the helm, a decision she says had always been her destiny.

Growing up, the family store triggered a sense of belonging for Lindsay, who, from age 13, would often become tearful at her lack of involvement with the business. Fourth-generation owner Ty Lockhart encouraged his daughter to expand her horizons after graduating from Heritage Christian High School, advice she took to heart. She graduated with a degree in economics from Dartmouth College, starting a commerce career in Boston before moving to Washington, D.C., where she secured a domestic policy research assistant post in Vice President Dick Cheney’s office. Lindsay moved cross country to gain a master’s in business from Pepperdine University, Calif. Chris, a Duke University undergraduate, followed her out there to study for his own MBA at UCLA.

Fifth-generation member of the Light/ Lockhart family, Jonathan Lockhart works on one of his family’s famous signs.

Passing the life-size horse on Steamboat Springs’ Lincoln Avenue, then turning in through the doors of the town’s oldest store, makes you want to yell, “Yee-haw.”

Celebrating 110 years, F.M. Light & Sons is an institution, held dear to those who adorn Stetsons, boots and Western wear.

With their combined education, the couple could have gone anywhere, but Lockhart Dillenbeck kept her sights set on picking up the reigns at F.M. Light & Sons. Today, they center their business on family fundamentals: memory, tradition and experience. “When people come into the store, I want them to have a good time, knowing they can take with them a taste of the West, regardless of their budget.”

Shoppers can expect to find traditional brands such as Levi, Pendleton or third-generation, family-run Rockmount out of Denver. Keeping abreast of evolving trends, British-made Hunter Wellingtons now don the shelves alongside a vast display of cowboy boots, replacing the out-of–favor, full lace-up boot.

As the oldest Stetson dealer west of the Mississippi, the store focuses heavily on headgear. If you have driven to Steamboat from any direction, you will have noticed at least a few of their 100 famed yellow wooden signs. Lockhart Dillenbeck prides herself on the inclusion of $7 straw Stetsons, which fly out the door during summer’s Pro Rodeo Series.

With toe-tapping country music playing in the background, Lockhart Dillenbeck is well aware of the rising popularity of Western wear. “It has become more mainstream, just like music we are listening to,” she says.

These boots were made for walking, it’s just a matter of picking which ones out of the store’s vast choices.

What’s next for Steamboat’s favorite store? Online shopping, which she feels has been long in coming. With regular requests from around the globe, it’s only a matter of time before F.M. Light will be expanding its popularity beyond those miles of yellow signs.

ACTIVITIES GUIDE

Experience

the adventure of a scenic

Courtesy Ben Strozier

mountain ride.

Come join us for a scenic ride through the Routt National Forest and the Upper Elk River Valley. We have groomed trails for all abilities, providing fun for the whole family.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE BEN STROZIER

Outdoors is the place to be for four-year Steamboat Springs resident Ben Strozier. Here’s his top 10 reasons why.

Our tours are personalized to fit your desire whether it be riding the trails, cruising open meadows or stopping for breathtaking photos. We offer complimentary shuttle service and hot beverages in our warming hut.

1. Snowmobiling, both with Steamboat Snowmobile Tours and with friends.

2. Fly fishing on the Yampa River, both before and after the big spring runoff.

3. Sitting around the bonfire with friends.

4. Hiking on Emerald Mountain.

5. Playing disk golf on the mountain.

6. Enjoying happy hour on the deck at Rex’s.

7. Rafting on the spring whitewater.

8. Playing golf.

9. Riding bikes around town.

10. Watching as the snow melts and the valley turns green.

Ben Strozier moved to Steamboat Springs to ski the notorious “Champagne powder.” He was born and raised in Georgia, and he is still a huge Bulldogs fan.

Soon after moving here, he became passionate about snowmobiling. He’s a guide with Steamboat Snowmobile Tours in the winter and is looking forward to a great summer of zip lining with Steamboat Zip Line Adventures.

Spring is a great time of year, especially for employees who have been pulling long shifts all winter, meeting visitors and providing outstanding guest service. Slopeside Grill bartender Mike Cronin shares a few tips for springtime fun.

WITH HANG S COME IG DOG THE B

1. Spring skiing – I love snowboarding in a t-shirt and sunglasses.

2. Having a couple beers at the Slopeside ice bar – work on that goggle tan 3. Bud Light Rocks the ‘Boat concert series on the mountain.

I’m excited for Steel Pulse at the end of the season.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE LISA SHAFER

As a mom and career woman in Steamboat Springs, Lisa Shafer especially enjoys the opportunity to be outdoors with her family in spring. Here are a few highlights.

1. Riding my road bike on the county’s gravel roads, where I see lots of animals and their newborn babies.

2. Hiking up to the old quarry on Emerald Mountain to see what mountain bike trails might be opening soon.

3. Hiking up the Uranium Mine trail to get a good view of the raging Fish Creek Falls.

4. Soaking at Strawberry Park Hot Springs when no one is there – it’s so quiet and peaceful.

5. The downtown Sidewalk Sale.

6. Taking a day trip to Brown’s Park to go exploring in the old West.

7. Spending time at the library with my son on rainy spring days.

8. The Farmers’ Market.

9. Camping at Stagecoach Reservoir before it gets crowded.

10. Switching out my winter clothes and putting them away for the next five months.

Lisa Shafer is the vice president of Pioneer Ridge Management. She is also the mother of Sawyer, 5, and enjoys mountain and road biking and spending time with her family.

Most of the lodging facilities available through Steamboat Central Reservations have been assigned quality ratings by an independent rating service. Properties are first placed in price categories of Premium ($$$$), Expensive ($$$), Moderate ($$) or Economy ($) based on regular season rates. A random sample of units/rooms from each property is then inspected and assigned a quality rating designation of Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G) or Fair (F). Properties that are not part of Steamboat Central Reservations are not rated. The rating designation assigned represents the overall quality of the furnishings, materials and maintenance. Properties are compared to one another within the same price categories.

Standards of quality are Steamboat-based, although national standards are taken into consideration in order to form a baseline. Conditions of the property may have changed since the time of inspection.

OUTDOORS GUIDE

GET THE BEST VISITOR INFO

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MURRAY SELLECK

ANYWHERE ANYTIME

Locals know that springtime and outdoors go together like beer and baseball. Murray Selleck tells us 10 ways to get the most from this dynamic season in Steamboat Springs.

1. Stay in town. Steamboat empties out. It’s quiet and feels like it did when I first moved here in the early ‘80s.

2. Make a left turn downtown. Take pleasure in the simple things like making hassle-free turns on your bike.

3. Take a quick road trip/camping trip to Dinosaur National Monument.

While the snow melts in Steamboat, most people migrate to Moab or Fruita. I’ll take Dinosaur.

4. Go skiing on the passes early in the morning. Skiing the crust is a blast. You can ski for miles in any direction; just make sure you get back to the parking lot before the daytime thaw begins.

5. Plan your own getaway after everyone else returns from spring break. Check out the selection of guidebooks and maps at Ski Haus, in itself a favorite pastime.

6. Ski Parkview Mountain, a big ol’ mountain, 12,296’, with a massive east-facing bowl. Located at the southern end of North Park and south of Rand on Colorado 125, this is not for beginners. If you’re avalanche and snowpack savvy, Parkview is an amazing adventure.

7. Go rock climbing at Blob Rock, a great south-facing rock accessed via the Uranium Mine Trail at Fish Creek Falls. The hike alone is worth it, with views of the falls and the Yampa Valley.

8. Go road biking. Racing against spring weather makes you feel tougher than you really are. Spring road biking is great for sustaining delusions about yourself.

- LOCAL NEWS - INSIDER TIPS - EVENTS CALENDAR - BUSINESS DIRECTORY

9. Watch for the return of the sandhill cranes, prehistoric-looking birds that are a miracle in flight.

10. Solstice: June 21. Start your day by sitting outside before first light and listening to the day wake up around you. Finish the day the same way. Watch the light of day fade into darkness. The solstice is special.

AND MORE...

Murray Selleck is the manager of Ski Haus International.

Outdoors Guide Cross Country Ski & Snowshoe Routes ■ 1A West Summit Loop A

3.7 miles (loop from trailhead)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak, Blacktail Mountain quads Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 13 miles to the West Summit parking area on Rabbit Ears Pass.

Route description: Begin on the north side of the road. Skiing the route in a clockwise direction is less difficult, with gentler climbs and steeper descents through open and wooded areas. Views of the Yampa Valley and the Flat Tops are spectacular. The West Summit loops and surrounding terrain are the most popular skiing areas in the Hahn’s Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District.

◆ 1B West Summit Loop B

3.6 miles/5.4 miles (loop from trailhead)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: This route is reached by skiing counter-clockwise on 1A. Ski past the first junction with 1B and climb to the top of the ridge. At the second junction, on the ridgetop, ski 1B to the east. This route is best skied in a clockwise direction.

Route description: This route has several steep ascents and descents through heavy timber and open meadows.

◆ 1C South Summit Loop

3 miles

USGS map: Walton Peak Access: This route begins at the West Summit parking area. Park on the south side of the highway.

Route description: Travel counter-clockwise for the best downhill runs. The route begins by following an old road. Woods, open meadows and some steep descents are encountered. This route connects with route 3B midway around the loop. Past this junction, the route follows the telephone lines and old highway, paralleling U.S. 40. The final portion follows the meadow edge back to the West Summit, then retraces the first segment of old road.

■ 1D Bruce’s Trail

3.1 miles

USGS map: Mount Werner Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 14 miles to the parking area on the north side of the highway. A short spur connects the parking lot to the main trail.

Route description: Designed wide to accommodate both skating and traditional skiing techniques. The trail is machine-groomed in the early ski season. Note that dogs are not permitted when the trail is groomed. The upper loop provides easy skiing, while the lower loop has a moderate difficulty rating. The tight loop design and proximity to the highway make this trail a good choice for a ski workout, a short day, or for skiers wishing to remain relatively close to their vehicles.

◆◆ 2A Hogan Park Route

13 miles round trip

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Peak parking area. One way, 6.5 miles to the bottom of Morningside Lift.

Route description: This route is recommended for experts only. If you plan to descend Mount Werner through the Steamboat Ski Area, safety straps are required.

Begin on the north side of the highway just west of the large cut bank. The route crosses large open meadows and many streams. Steep ascents and descents will be encountered. During heavy snowfall or whiteout conditions, the route is very difficult to follow across the large meadows. Carry emergency/survival gear. If Morningside lift is not operating, climb 1 mile to top of lift, then descend 3 miles to ski area base.

■ 2B Fox Curve Loop

3.6 miles

USGS map: Mount Werner Access: Travel approximately 17 miles east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 to the Fox Curve parking area. The parking area is on the north side of highway.

Route description: This route has varied terrain including steep ascents and descents. Use caution when crossing Walton Creek.

Starting at the junction of 1C and 3B (west end), the route goes up a gentle slope and drops into a stream valley. Use caution when crossing streams and beaver ponds on this route as they may be only partially frozen. Heavy timber and open meadows.

Riding club horse schooling and training 5. Sunrise snowshoeing through a budding aspen grove 6. Cinco de Mayo at the Rio Grande Restaurant 7. Hayfields peaking through the snowcaps 8. The sound of water trickling down from the Flat Tops 9. Early sunrise bird chattering and singing 10.

SHOPPING GUIDE

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MONIQUE PAYNE

When you work downtown – even in Steamboat – relaxing and getting outdoors are keys to springtime enjoyment. Monique Payne shares a few of her favorite things about Steamboat’s least well known and most underappreciated season.

1 Not shoveling the roof….but shoveling a patch in the yard to dry out and green up for the grill and lawn chairs

We are Steamboat’s only local retail resource completely dedicated to kids. We have the stuff your kids will want to wear, the place they want to have their birthday, and the things they want to do.

Clothing Toys & Gifts Salon Arcade

2. Heading south to hike in the heat 3. Sitting outside to read a book

Cafe

4. Planning the garden I will have to wait six more weeks to plant 5. Watching the incredible rising force of water on the rivers and creeks

Bakery

6. Being able to park and shop at City Market without stress 7. Hunting the elusive morel mushroom 8. Seeing the leaves pop into brilliant green foliage 9. Snowshoeing in the Flat Tops in short sleeves

Parties

10. Watching the botanical gardens come to life 11. Two words...flip flops Monique Payne is an interior designer at Into the West. A resident of Oak Creek, she makes jewelr y and loves to paint.

COLLECTION OF

Restaurants

FOR A TRULY MEMORABLE NIGHT OUT, ENJOY THE PREMIER DINING EXPERIENCES OF STEAMBOAT. Dining at Ragnar’s begins with a nighttime ride in the Steamboat Gondola, followed by a snowcat driven sleigh ride under the stars and across the mountain to the warm, inviting restaurant. Enjoy a gourmet dinner and live acoustic entertainment.

Dash through the snow as a pair of majestic draft horses pulls a sleigh around the Yampa Valley’s rolling hills before settling down to a delicious three-course dinner with all the trimmings. Enjoy drinks and appetizers prior to your sleigh ride, then upon your return dine on a menu of prime beef, free range chicken or seafood.

A nighttime ride up the gondola tells you this is not going to be an ordinary night out. And Hazie’s is anything but ordinary. An exceptional wine list, stunning views of the Yampa Valley below, and a dazzling menu of New American cuisine are all yours at Hazie’s.

For the perfect family night out, try our original Western Style BBQ Buffet at the top of the Steamboat Gondola. Enjoy a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet with a live western rock dance band and a fun family setting looking out over the lights of the valley below.

A snowcat featuring a fully enclosed climatecontrolled cabin takes you on a magical journey to the Four Points Lodge. This special mountaintop culinary experience is rooted in the flavors and traditions of Northern Italy offering a sophisticated evening tucked warmly inside the cozy lodge under a sky filled with stars.
