I ran into a CMC student (Yampa Valley College at the time) from the 1960′s and he was kind enough to let me interview him! This was right before the infamous Diamond Hitch Parade.

The Winter Carnival is a hallmark Steamboat event that is more than twice the age of the ski resort. It was started by the ranching community back in 1913 to bring people the community together after a long winter.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Winter Carnival and the following video is of the Children’s Ski Jouring event. This event is one of the most popular and it includes horses towing children down main street at high speeds.

I had a chance to take my camera down to the base of Steamboat Mountain and interview some people on the epic CMC Powder. I also ran into CMC Students Mikey, Aaron and Darcy and they made it clear of how deep the snow was.

Rig to Flip is a water, education and awareness organization started by CMC students. It aims to empower future generations on water issues in the west and inspire future generations to be leaders in the world of sustainability and social responsibility. The following video shows you what this grassroots organization has been up to.

Backyard Skintracks

This season I decided to not pay for a season pass. After doing it for a few years, I am quite burned out of dealing with the crowds and high cost to ski at Steamboat resorts. Instead, I decided to invest in splitboarding, a more rewarding style of snowboarding that gets you off the resorts and closer to nature. Hiking for fresh powder with nobody around is a satisfying way to spend time outdoors in Steamboat. A bud of mine has a home that backs up to Emerald Mountain. From their backyard we had access to some safe and awesome meadow skiing. Although it is a mellow slope, you can’t beat skiing like when you have access to it from your own home.

We are Rig to Flip

For those that are curious about the Rig to Flip movement happening on campus right now, this video will put you in the shotgun seat of what a few CMC students have started.

This film was a collective effort composed and inspired by all and for all of those that have a stake in the future of the west. Consider this a salute to the beloved life giving watershed and the future the mighty waters hold for us.
