Ski 4 Yellow, John Popper and Olympic Athletes – Big Weekend in Steamboat

Steamboat is hosting the first annual Ski 4 Yellow fundraiser that will have participants scouring the Steamboat Ski Resort to finish all the events plus it’s a chance to ride or ski with US Olympian/World Cup Athletes!   The Steamboat Ski Resort will host the perfect terrain for this inaugural fundraiser in the fight against cancer.  The fundraiser supports the Livestrong Foundation with global influence while also supporting local Steamboat cancer foundations.  See how you can participate- be a big skier or donate.

Ski 4 Yellow teams will have to complete a treasure hunt of items before they can call themselves winners.  They will have to ride every ski lift on the mountain, complete the NASTAR course, get the most vertical feet, ride the Maverick half-pipe, visit key landmarks and venture down some of Steamboat’s expert terrain!  All Ski 4 Yellow events begin at 8:45 am at the Top of the Gondola.  Congrats the winners at 2:00 pm where you can probably find most of them at Slopeside Bar and Grill. Ski 4 Yellow has raised over $24,000 so far.  Register today to play with the Olympians and support an incredible global/local cause!

And don’t miss the free concerts! Spring is here and at 3pm at the Gondola Square get your dance on with John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours! This big name band comes to Steamboat for the Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series.   John Popper is the lead singer from Blues Traveler who teamed up with an incredible array of artists to bring these new sounds to the stage. 

Ski 4 Yellow is the sister winter event to the annual Ride 4 Yellow event which came to Steamboat last summer 2010.  Lance Armstrong himself rode the course and supported the event.  Learn more about the 2011 Ride 4 Yellow!
