112th Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival

Save the date for the 112th Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival, February 5-9, 2025 with Title Sponsor Yampa Valley Bank!

This year’s theme is Let Your Light Shine.

The Winter Carnival, proudly hosted by the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club and Title Sponsor Yampa Valley Bank, brings the community together to celebrate athleticism and winter, showcasing Steamboat’s Western traditions and ski heritage.

Today, Winter Carnival honors snow, winter, and winter sports that make Steamboat Springs Ski Town, USA.

About the 112th Winter Carnival Poster

Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty unveiled the original artwork for the 2025 Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival on December 6 at Pine Moon Fine Art Gallery. This year’s artwork was created by local artist RC Dieckhoff. Dieckoff will be at Pine Moon for the unveiling. The original artwork will remain at Pine Moon Fine Art Gallery until Feruary 8, 2025 when it will be auctioned at the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Foundation All In! Fundraiser benefiting the SSWSC Scholarship Fund. Posters of the artwork will be available for $20 at various locations around Steamboat starting December 13, and proceeds benefit the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. Email Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty for more information on purchasing a limited edition giclee print or Winter Carnival poster, [email protected].

ABOUT THE ARTIST

When Robert “RC” Dieckhoff learned he was selected as the artist to create this year’s Winter Carnival poster, the first thing he did was take a deep dive into its history. Inspired by the first-ever Winter Carnival in 1914, which was held at Woodchuck Hill (the current site of Colorado Mountain College), he researched everything from locating the precise spot where the first ski jump was erected or the purpose of the inaugural event to its geology and spent countless hours going through photo archives at the Tread of Pioneers Museum. “I was surprised to learn that a lot of people didn’t know the first Winter Carnival was before Howelsen Hill even existed,” says Dieckhoff. “I hope that the poster will commemorate this piece of Steamboat history and this site on Woodchuck Hill as the original Winter Carnival venue. It was truly an honor to be a part of it.”

Posters are available starting at the following locations:
Yampa Valley Bank
FM Light & Sons
Lyon’s Corner Drug
Off the Beaten Path
Pine Moon Gallery
Steamboat Sotheby’s Realty Offices
Steamboat Specialties/Pro Shop
SSWSC Office at Howelsen Hill

Winter Carnival Memories Tread of Pioneers & Steamboat Radio

Winter Carnival Memories

By Candice Bannister, Executive Director Tread of Pioneers

Introduced by Norwegian ski jumping pioneer Carl Howelsen, the first Winter Carnival events in Steamboat Springs took place in 1914 on Woodchuck Hill, the present site of Colorado Mountain College. The first Carnival introduced ski jumping and competitive skiing to the people of Steamboat Springs. Until then, skiing was mostly a mode of winter transportation in the deep Routt County winters. Officials estimated that 1,500 to 2,000 people gathered to watch the simultaneous jump by Carl Howelsen and James Pestrud that first year. The events were so popular that residents decided Winter Carnival should return annually. The mid-winter Carnival also serves as a fundraiser for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. If only Howelsen could see the renowned club now—how proud he would be.

Though many people celebrate the Carnival that has evolved over the last century, few know just how this tradition came to be. It all started in 1913, in neighboring Hot Sulphur Springs, when Steamboat Springs resident and outdoor enthusiast Marjorie Perry (sister of Charlotte Perry, co-founder of Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp) stumbled upon the former Barnum and Bailey Circus Star Carl Howelsen, and his “Winter Sports Carnival” while on her trip from Denver to Steamboat Springs by way of the Moffat Railroad. Ms. Perry was so impressed by the ski jumping events she witnessed there, she convinced Howelsen to come to Steamboat for an exhibition. Howelsen’s son, Leif Howelsen, confirmed that as soon as his father saw the town, “he immediately knew that Steamboat Springs was the place for him. The mountains, the open valleys, the ranches, and the people, everything appealed to him.” Howelsen soon made Steamboat Springs his home and the town would never be the same again.

The depth of Howelsen’s influence cannot be overstated. His contributions to the sports of skiing and ski jumping form the foundation of the history of these sports in this state and country. Locally, not only was he the founder and coach of the first Steamboat Ski Club (now the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club) and the Winter Carnival, but he also built the first ski jumps on Howelsen Hill, set ski jumping records, taught countless residents how to ski jump and ski for fun and competition, and coached early competitors including Steamboat’s first Olympian ski jumper John Steele. Of all of Howelsen’s contributions to our community, perhaps his most impactful gifts were those he imparted to the local youth, summarized in this fitting tribute from the Steamboat Pilot: “During his time here, he taught the young riders to compete for the love of the sport, and has set an admirable example by never letting his medals get too heavy for him.”
