Steamboat Cup Youth Race Series

Save the Date: 2025 Steamboat Cup Series!

Join SSWSC on Wednesday nights, January-March 2025 for the community Steamboat Cup Series— a local youth snowsport competition series at Howelsen Hill for any skiers ages 7-12 years old. Kids are encouraged to explore various disciplines and are introduced to competition in a fun, low-stress environment, including alpine racing, cross country, ski jumping, big mountain, park, and mogul skiing.

• When: Wednesday evenings, starting January 9, 2025.
• Cost: Free (online pre-registration required).
• Who: Open to all kids in the Steamboat community ages 7-12.
• Lift Access: Howelsen Hill lift ticket or season pass needed.

Registration Information:
All participants must register in advance. Registration is free, but participants will need a season pass or lift ticket, purchased separately at Howelsen Hill. Registration opens two weeks before each event and closes at 4 p.m. the day before the event—there is no on-site registration.

Event Schedule:
Bib pickup for all events is between 3:30 and 4:15 p.m. at Howelsen Hill. Participants should be in their gear and ready to go by 4:15 p.m. Generally, the events are done by 6 p.m., though Hitchen’s Brothers Ski Jumping events run longer. Check the event webpage for additional schedule details for each event, and an email will be sent to all registered participants with specifics the night before the event.
