Let your creativity shine in the heart of Winter Carnival!



Since 2015, Steamboat Creates has overseen the Snow Sculptures portion of Winter Carnival, continuing a tradition that dates back to 1929. Snow Sculptures celebrate the intersection of art and athletics, inviting high school students and community members to carve stunning snow sculptures that line Lincoln Avenue. The sculptures are judged for prizes and become a vibrant part of the Winter Carnival experience.

In partnership with the Steamboat Springs School District, Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, and the City of Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Creates helps to infuse a dynamic creative spirit into this cherished event, bringing a fresh artistic energy to the heart of Winter Carnival.
