Howelsen Ski Area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Howelsen Ski Area is a small ski area located on Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. As such, it is not a typical downhill ski area, but is solely used for Winter Sports and Olympic snow events. It has one chair lift, one rope tow and one Poma lift. It has a bobsled track and a series of ski jumps, the largest being a 90 meter jump. The local youth ski team, the Steamboat Winter Sports Club, practices at the area, along with various ski jumpers in training, including U.S. Ski Team Jumpers. It is the oldest continuously operating ski area in Colorado.
