Drawn by the soothing hot springs, abundant animals and ample vegetation, they returned each summer for hundreds of years before the land was eventually settled. French trappers arrived in the early 1800s and found great success in their trade along the Yampa River, rich with beavers, fox and other wildlife. History credits trappers for naming Steamboat Springs by accident, when they heard a loud noise ahead and assumed they’d found a large river with steamboat traffic. “A Steamboat, by gar!” they yelled, only to discover that the sound they’d heard came from a natural mineral spring that became the town’s namesake. The spring still exists, but was silenced by railroad tracks laid above it more than 100 years ago. In 1875, James Harvey Crawford and his family became the area’s first permanent settlers. Within 10 years, the Crawfords were joined by several other families and successfully laid out plans for the town of Steamboat Springs. In the decades that followed, the town thrived on cattle and sheep ranching, and soon became known for its hot springs, which attracted people from both local and distant communities. With the advent of the railroad, people traveled from around the country to visit Steamboat Springs, and it soon became a regular stop for cowboys and outlaws, including Butch Cassidy, Kit Carson and Jeff Bridger. And in 1914, Norwegian circus star Carl Howelsen arrived and introduced the recreational ski industry that would change Steamboat forever. Today, Steamboat Springs has just over 10,000 residents, and the town is a mecca for winter adventurers and nature enthusiasts who love its four-seasons perfection. The town has become an impeccable meeting point for Old West and New West, and remains the most colorful and authentic of America’s ski towns. steamboat skiing I n 1859, gold was discovered in the mountains west of Colorado, leading to a population boom of pioneers seeking the good life. Working in the mountains during winter was difficult, especially when it came to traveling. The deep, powdery snow was difficult to walk on using the webbed snowshoes favored by Native Americans, so they turned to an alternative: Norwegian snowshoes, or as we call them today, skis. The pioneers made their skis out of pine or spruce trees. Massive by today’s standards, they were 8 to 14 feet long, ½ inch thick and 4 inches wide. The skis weighed about 25 pounds, and were accompanied by one long pole that aided steering. Though it was difficult to steer or turn, skiing was the pioneers’ favored means of transportation during the winter season. Skiing morphed from transportation mode to recreational activity in 1914, when Carl Howelsen—also known as the Flying Norseman—arrived in Steamboat. A circus star with Barnum and Bailey, Howelsen built the ski jump that still stands on what’s now Howelsen Hill, and is credited by most as single-handedly introducing recreational skiing to Steamboat. He organized the first Winter Carnival in town, an event still celebrated each winter with ski races, ski jumping, chariot racing, street events, a marching band on skis and much more. Howelsen Hill Ski Area has been used as a training site by countless Olympians, and is the oldest ski area in continuous use in Colorado. By the 1950s, skiing was so popular that developers decided to create another ski area south of town. Jim Temple, son of a local ranching family, and John Fetcher, a local rancher, engineered and constructed Storm Mountain, which opened with a single lift. The mountain was renamed Mt. Werner in 1964, when Buddy Werner—an Olympian from Steamboat—was killed in an avalanche. Today, Mt.Werner is known as Steamboat Ski Resort which features 23 lifts, 4 terrain parks and 165 named trails, and is widely regarded as one of America’s top ski destinations. ranching & rodeo W hile many people were seeking their fortunes in the mountains to the west, Steamboat Springs steadily grew into the area’s premier ranching community due to its plentiful fresh water, fertile soil and open land. Before recreational skiing was introduced, cattle ranching was the largest industry in town, and the beef was shipped all over the country on the railroad. Sheep ranching was also popular, as the animals were able to stay warm and strong during the blustery winters. Steamboat has also had a vibrant agricultural industry with significant crops of wheat, lettuce, spinach and potatoes. The most famous of Steamboat’s crops, however, may be strawberries. In 1911, more than 9,000 crates of strawberries were shipped from Steamboat to locations around the country, and the area in which they grew was christened Strawberry Park. Today, Strawberry Park is home to some of Steamboat’s finest hot springs. In addition to animals and crops, another industry sprung up in Steamboat at the beginning of the 20th century: rodeo. Inspired by local cowboys, Steamboat’s official rodeo grounds were built in 1909. Today the town features events throughout the summer and a modern arena, which is much more pleasing to the spectators; back in the early 1900s, the crowd created the rodeo ring by forming a human circle! get ting to steamboat Minneapolis/St. Paul Chicago Newark Denver Atlanta Dallas/Ft.
