The historical Western culture is noted in many shops such as F.M Lights and Sons, but Lincoln Avenue and Yampa Street are also coupled with a lively, festive aura that is only found in a small ski resort town. One of Steamboat’s lasting traditions, Winter Carnival, is celebrated along Lincoln Avenue. Kids will be pulled on skis by galloping horses over jumps for your entertainment. Snow sculptures will decorate the sidewalks. The Winter Carnival Parade and Night Show will captivate viewers of all ages as skiers jump through rings of fire and perform in lighted costumes. Steamboat Springs not only offers a superb education system, but it offers schools right in the heart of the town. Soda Creek Elementary School rests only three blocks off of Lincoln Avenue. It is the ideal location to allow students to walk or ride bikes to school safely and provides programs to help students return home. Throughout Old Town, there is an eccentric blend of newer, more modern homes and older, more historical homes. Many streets consist of unique houses that contain a traditional essence yet have been remodeled in a polished, upscale manner. New condominium complexes are developing and allow a more city-like style of living. Downtown Steamboat Springs offers endless opportunities to explore, live, and enjoy the beauty and comfort a ski town has to offer.
