It's the 45th event in gorgeous Steamboat! Cowboys and cowgirls hit the hill, instead of the saddle, and the night before, they break out the hot air balloons! 

Get the gang and 'Cowboy Up' in Steamboat! It's the annual Cowboy Downhill in Steamboat! It's set to coincide with the National Western Stock Show, so you know there'll be plenty of top-notch professional cowboys showing off their skiing 'skills.'

It's a big western celebration on January 21, 2019, that's free to attend, including a petting zoo and an appearance by the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. The main event though is the Cowboy Downhill that will happen that afternoon starting at 1:00.

These cowboys and cowgirls are used to being on wild animals, not so much being on on skis and hitting a 'jump!'  They'll have the slalom competition and the big 'Stampede', of course!

The night before, it's the annual Cowboy Up Party Balloon Glow - with six beautiful balloons lighting up Mountain Village, with a big party afterward!

You could make this your first great getaway of 2019!
