there was no way i was missing it friday of rocky mountain mustang roundup weekend is traditionally the day of the autocross and it was no different in the 23rd year a few of the chamber staff and i headed down to the autocross to see what kind of course these american made beasts were going to be running that day once we signed our lives away we had to just sit on the sidelines and wait for our turn while the momentum built with 150 drivers completing three timed runs you can bet there wasn t a lot of break in the action so when they said it was my turn they didn t have to tell me twice i grabbed a helmet and jumped in the roaring stage 3 roush ready to take on the elaborately designed track i gave a quick smile and thumbs up to the girls just in time to hear the squeal of the tires as we shot out onto the track in what reminded me of an unpredictable carnival ride we zigged and zagged around the track in what felt like going from 0 to 60 in nothing flat over and over again my body was shifting quickly from one side of the seat to the other around every turn when we made the final corner and fishtailed our way to the finish line the whole thing couldn t have been more than 45 seconds whoa i thought to myself i ll definitely be back to do this again next year hey maybe they ll let me drive this time don t forget to check out the show n shine on saturday when all the mustangs take front and center stage on lincoln avenue for viewing visit the website for more details on this father s day weekend event poochy paddle 18 wednesday apr 2012 posted by steamboat springs chamber resort association admin in steamboat springs leave a comment tags dogs hot springs old town hot springs poochy paddle steamboat springs high flying wet and soggy dogs are having the time of their life in the lap pool at the old town hot springs the bi annual poochy paddle is quickly turning into a soggy steamboat springs tradition every dog in town is invited to the lap pool at oths for a dip in the warm waters before the pool is drained and cleaned there s a lot of jumping chasing and shaking tennis balls are flying and kids are coaxing their pooch into the waters some even attempt a running jump off the diving board each dog gets in for a small fee and a donation of dog food for the steamboat springs animal shelter plenty of owners are lined up poolside doing their best to avoid a big doggy shake but everyone inevitably gets wet but no one seems to mind this year s poochy paddles are scheduled for sunday april 22 and sept 23 tickets will be available in advance at the front desk of the old town hot springs guest blogger shannon lukens marketing director old town hot springs photos and video courtesy of shannon lukens my 15th year in the steamboat marathon 05 thursday apr 2012 posted by steamboat springs chamber resort association admin in uncategorized leave a comment the steamboat marathon has become a favorite for many runners and non runners alike for a lot of runners they have those races that they run every year no matter what for me i ve made this race a yearly tradition that finds me at year 15 this race has served many different roles it was my first half marathon years ago and acts as a yearly warm up to the trail running seaso n it also was a return to racing after injuries and was a race to celebrate my mother after she passed away it has been a good motivation to run through snowy springs and was a celebration of our son as i ran pregnant last year the race typically starts under a gorgeous blue sky although it once saw snow in june above all it is a chance to celebrate a beautiful town and the yampa valley by running with friends some avid runners and some that make this their first or only race of the year whether starting the full marathon in the cool mountain air at hahn s peak or taking on the half marathon you run past fields of green grass spring wildflowers the elk river and horse filled pastures this reminds runners why its one of the prettiest road marathons in the state i love it when you run towards the finish downtown with the snow covered ski area as the backdrop it doesn t matter whether they are the last 10k runners or the fastest marathoners everyone finishes at the same place everyone has accomplished something and everyone is treated to streets lines with cheering supporters i am looking forward to my 15 th year and many many more after that and as always seeing old and new friends at the start guest blogger cara a marrs winter carnival from the eyes of a donkey jumper 25 wednesday

carnival and the horses and the jumps i wasn t sure what it was but i asked my mom to sign me up for everything which she did photo vastaction on race day we showed up downtown and found the street closed it was full of snow and many steaming horses with cowboys perched in the saddle thousands of people lined the streets to watch what the kids were doing i quickly figured out that i was going to be one of those kids i waited for my turn and moved up the line before i knew it a cowboy came up on a horse and asked me how fast i wanted to go i said full speed i grabbed hold of the rope and was soon flying down lincoln avenue snow flying in my face hanging on for dear life as we came up to f m light i saw the donkey jump in the middle of the street perfect i loved jumps and still do i hit the jump as hard and fast as i could and twisted around in a trick that thrilled the crowd they went crazy as i flew through the air and stuck my landing the next morning i was on the front page of the newspaper photo matt stensland steamboat pilot today every year my sisters and i participated in the street events until we grew too old to do it anymore not many people can say they ve skied down

steamboat i recently looked up the synonyms of the word community the results were as i thought group of people the public population and last but not least neighborhood the word neighborhood gives the meaning of the word depth and warmth community is more than being just part of the population but adding the spice of life and friendship the giving and the caring speaking of warmth i love thanksgiving it s the warmest of all the holidays and the most filling both in your belly and your heart it is both the act of giving and the act of thanks a true gift of warm food to your community and your people i had the exceptional opportunity to volunteer last thanksgiving at our community dinner here in steamboat it opened my eyes to the true meaning of community by giving back and serving gallons and gallons of gravy and mashed potatoes i learned what an amazing sense of community is here right in our own backyard there was no shortage of food napkins smiling faces or rubber gloves the food line was always full of the next hungry man woman or child the constant ask for what can i help with never seemed to run out either the extent of work and preparation that goes into a community

leave a comment yes we realize that title makes absolutely no sense unless you re familiar with the german fall phenomenon known as oktoberfest it s a celebration of beer dating back to 1810 which makes uncovering the answer to this daunting question a bit challenging so we are just rolling with crown prince ludwig s decision over 200 years ago and having our oktoberfest beer celebration in september too except we re steamboat and we love to put our own signature spin on almost everything we do so we call it oktoberwest join us this weekend sept 16 18 for an oktoberwest fest like no other the weekend kicks off with the pedaling posse parade picture a parade of crazy costumes on cool cruise...
