Ushering in the new spring is a <b>fabulous little festival </b>Steamboat likes to call <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/springalicious.htm">Springalicious</a>- cause it is delicious to soak up those rays, get the last skiing in, jam to music and know that our good friend winter is being put to bed for awhile.<br />

Ingredients supplied by small farms and ranches, and Chef Kate's fascinating abilities make this one of Steamboat's most coveted locations for a romantic meal with your significant other, or an impressive choice for anyone to suggest for a comforting evening meal. Although it was difficult to have my co-workers choose their favorites from the winter menu, we managed to narrow it down to three: try the elk tenderloin, easily the best on the mountain; for a tasty appetizer, try the duck confit and MouCo cheese crispy spring rolls; or for an interesting sandwich, try the peanut butter and bacon sandwich.

Thanks for the memories and insider tips Lizzie!</i></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As a Steamboat local, there really is nothing more “Steamboat” than the Annual Winter Carnival, <b>Feb 2-6, 2011</b>. Started in 1914, as a way to help the locals cure their cabin fever during the height of the winter season, it still serves its purpose to this day. It is truly the best way to celebrate the uniqueness of winter in <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-springs/index.htm">Steamboat Springs, CO. </a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
The Winter Carnival is known for it's wacky events, fabulous parade, torchlight parades and much more. <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/winter-carnival.htm">See a full line-up of events.</a> To participate and watch all these fun events you just need to pick up a <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/winter-carnival.htm"><b>Winter Carnival Button</b></a> at any of the events or from the Winter Sports Club.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival-4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Growing up here the carnival was always something to look forward to. As a teenager, it was always a contest in the schools to see which student’s button design would be the winner, to go down in history with your artwork on the button that hundreds of people wear & collect. Also, they choose the high school group that would create the magnificent <b>snow sculptures</b> that line Lincoln avenue all week. Students would put off homework to work on their sculpture designs and the prize was no only getting to display your artwork for all to see, but also a day off school to play with our famous Champagne Powder. <br />
<a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival18.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
The <b><a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/winter-carnival.htm">street events</a> </b>are nothing other than some of the strangest and most unique events one has ever seen. Lincoln avenue is filled with snow and the horses, kids, dads and dogs are rounded up! There is nothing like lining up with the rest of the Steamboat kids waiting for your turn to get on a horse and do the Ring and Spear toss – riding a horse, holding a spear and trying to collect rings suspended from stands- our own little modern day jousting match.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps the <b>Street Slalom</b>, imagine getting pulled behind a horse through a slalom course of cones. Yet, nothing compares to the craziness of the Shovel Race, held only for adults as they are pulled by galloping horses.<br />
<br />
Every little girl in Steamboat wanted to be <b>A Little Toots Princess</b>, an honor bestowed upon the young girls in the world famous Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. Donning the famous Little Toots crown and riding the sleigh through the streets of Steamboat during the parade for all to see, is truly every little girls dream. And of course there is no princess without a queen. The Winter Carnival Queen was always the most deserving, hard working and elegant member of the <a href="http://www.sswsc.org/"><b>Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club</b></a>. This year the honor goes to Natalie Geer.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VxIHnPEPsOIlH3Rf-dbcy42kcR_I7_osS7VIY__iY9LH5xInbflNgcraRQNdOgezQQNws8GtsVYJMDqJDoItGEaAZKVYTfkOVSWEGsfr9iBxoQ0Ulift1A7SXD4bXXPA4VjnuP5i4Lc/s1600/WinterCarnival-2010-lightparade-fireworks+023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VxIHnPEPsOIlH3Rf-dbcy42kcR_I7_osS7VIY__iY9LH5xInbflNgcraRQNdOgezQQNws8GtsVYJMDqJDoItGEaAZKVYTfkOVSWEGsfr9iBxoQ0Ulift1A7SXD4bXXPA4VjnuP5i4Lc/s200/WinterCarnival-2010-lightparade-fireworks+023.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
While all the events that take place are dazzling – <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/winter-carnival.htm"><b>The Night Extravaganza</b></a> is the reigning favorite of the carnival. The torchlight parade hosts all the Winter Sports Club kids who wind their way down the slope with a lighted torch. As a young girl, skiing down the mountain with 70 of my peers, sliding back and forth down the slope to help introduce the world famous <b>Lighted Man</b>, is one of the most exciting moments of a young, small town girls life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yMsRUVBwu_0" title="YouTube video player" type="text/html" width="480"></iframe></center><br />
<br />
And as soon as you get to the bottom of the run and turn your eyes up the hill to see The Lighted Man, lit up in all his glory from head to toe in lights, gliding across our powder with thrilling fireworks shooting out of his backpack, is something you know you will never experience again in your lifetime.<br />
<br />
The Night Extravaganza is finished off the daredevils skiing down Howelsen Hill, jumping through a flaming ring of fire. To this day, I still remember the terror I felt when I saw the first skier fall after jumping through the flaming ring. Not to worry, no one was hurt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/images/steamboat-winter-carnival10.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Yet, nothing is more famous or one of its kind in the world than the Steamboat Springs High School Ski Band. The Ski Band first appeared 1935 and to this day they are the only marching band in the world to march on skis. The buzz around the high school band room for the two weeks prior to Winter Carnival is nothing but excitement, nerves are a thing of the past, these kids grew up skiing or snowboarding, it is their second nature.<br />
<br />
Whether you are a first timer to Steamboat during this extraordinary event or have seen it many times, there is always an excitement that is the air, and I can almost guarantee that this year’s 98th Winter Carnival will be something that you will never forget and always think of when you remember your fabulous trip to Ski Town, USA.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
With football season coming to an end, and the Super Bowl upon us, this <b>Sunday Feb.6, 2011</b> will be a huge game between the Packers and the Steelers! For many, the need for <b>great food, yummy beer, and of course a big screen is crucial</b> to the Super Bowl Experience! IF you are on vacation don't let the unfamiliarity of a ski town and the need for the big screen may seem overwhelming. I have decided to put Steamboat to the test for such accommodations and find out what places offer the <b>best seat for next Sunday’s big game. </b><br />

Managed by the Steamboat Parks & Recreation, this lush six-acre site features ponds, colorful annuals and perennials, numerous evergreen and deciduous trees and delightful sculptures. My co-worker was married in this beautiful location and had a wonderful time. There were cruiser bicycles waiting for his wedding guests to ride to the wedding reception along the neighboring Yampa Valley Core Trail. This is a fun paved seven mile trail that runs along the meandering Yampa River. The wedding guests commented that the wedding was a very memorable treat. <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-springs-groups/">Contact Kiki</a> for more info on reserving the area.<br />

He surprised me by getting dinner reservations at Hazie’s. <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/restaurants/steamboat-ski-resort-dining.htm">Hazie’s Restaurant</a> is located at the top of the gondola on the <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/SteamboatSkiResortSteamboatSpringsColorado.htm">Steamboat Ski Resort</a>. Luckily for me he didn’t pack the snowshoes (it would have been a long hike) but instead we took a<b> night time gondola ride</b>. <br />
<br />
We walked into the gondola area and were greeted by happy lift operators who were quick to assist you into the gondola and promptly supply you with warm blankets for your ride up the mountain. As the gondola car rode higher and higher, the views of Steamboat were enchanting. It seemed our quaint little town was lit-up just for us!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/restaurants/steamboat-ski-resort-dining.htm">Hazie’s</a> is a lovely gourmet restaurant with great service, knowledgeable staff and the views are to die for! When you book your reservation with our concierge try to ensure you have a table right next to the windows! The menu is delicious with lovely varied choices from Spicy Thai Prawns to Filet of Buffalo. Hazie’s wine menu is quite large with unique wine choices that can be perfectly paired with your dinner choices.<br />
<br />
After a delectable dinner and a lovely night out, we once again boarded the gondola for another perfect view of Steamboat at night. <br />

We like to keep our cowboys on their toes in this Western town so once a year a one of a kind event is held just for those men of the west- <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/steamboat-winter-events/steamboat-cowboy-downhill.htm"><b>the Annual Cowboy Downhill</b></a>. January 18, 2011 is the day to watch the cowboy chaos ensue!<br />
<br />
This is one of the craziest events you’ll ever see- We take a ski hill, a couple of jumps, a few course flags, some skis and snowboards and then you mix in a lot western- horses, saddles, ropes and a beautiful cowgirl. Shake em all together and you get some inexperience cowboys trying to ski while racing to the bottom through the race course, off jumps, to saddle a horse, rope the fair lady and make it to the finish line…. YEEHAW!<br />

For resort lodging with both convenience and affordability, take a look at <b><a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/rental/complex.html?ID=20">ResortQuest Steamboat's Snow Flower Condos at the Gondola</a>.</b> Just steps away from the Gondola and Ski School, the Snow Flower Condos offer guests a unique and comfortable setting, while not emptying their wallets in the process.<br />
<br />
The <b>location</b> makes this Steamboat condominium an unbeatable value. Located right next to the One Steamboat Place, the Snow Flower is literally just steps away from the Gondola. When you are done skiing for the day just ski down past the Gondola on skier's left, take off the gear and walk a 100 feet to your comfortable condo. Snow Flower is also close to the quaint shops and distinctive restaurants of the Gondola Square and Ski Time Square set at the base of the mountain. Cafe Diva, Saketumi, and the Truffle Pig are just a few of the fabulous restaurants where guests can unwind with a few drinks après ski, or a delicious meal to recharge after an enjoyable day of skiing or snowboarding.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">View <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/rental/complex.html?ID=20#imggallery">pictures of Snow Flower</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/propimages/complex/snow-flower-pool-steam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/propimages/complex/snow-flower-pool-steam.jpg" width="200" /></a>View <a href="http://www.resortqueststeamboat.com/snowflower/virtual-tour.htm">the virtual tour</a>- see how close you really are!<br />
