Steamboat’s Men Get Dressed Up for Outside Magazine


photo: Outside Magazine
Anyone who has ever lived in, or even visited Steamboat Springs, CO, knows that Steamboat is relaxed, Steamboat is gorgeous, and Steamboat is home to some of the most handsome men in all of Colorado’s ski towns. Outside Magazine realized it too and November’s issue features 4 Steamboat locals who got all dressed up for Outdoor magazine’s Style section.
Olympian Todd Lodwick, rancher Jerad Iacovetto, Honey Stinger sales manager Adam Spector and golf pro Luke Brosterhous were the four local hotties who didn’t even know they were so hot. Lodwick said Thursday for the Steamboat Pilot, “You know the economy is going to pot when a Nordic guy is on the cover.” The group spent a day shooting at the Steamboat Ski Resort back in April. All were amazed by the photo shoot set up including the massive amounts of expensive clothes. “They made us all look a lot better than we do,” said Adam Spector.
These modest men remind us of the charm, and the down-to-earth qualities that still linger in Steamboat Springs, CO. It is a town made up of hard workers who like to play as hard as they work. "We'll gladly suffer high mortgages," says Luke Brosterhous, "so we can ski 100 days per year."
It’s time to escape to Steamboat! Book your Steamboat vacation with ResortQuest for the best Steamboat lodging packages.
