The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club runs the Steamboat Cup, a free, introductory-level youth competition series for kids ages 7-13, every Wednesday from January 6 through March 17, 2027 at Howelsen Hill Ski Area. Each week offers a new chance to try competing in a different snowsport discipline - alpine duals, moguls, ski jumping, freeride, and cross country - in a welcoming, low-pressure environment designed to build confidence and a love of the sport. The series is open to all kids in the community and participants do not need to be enrolled in an SSWSC program. Events run 4-6 p.m. with bib pickup starting at 3:30 p.m.; the Hitchens Brothers Ski Jumping events run longer. Registration is free but required in advance (it opens two weeks before each event and closes at 4 p.m. the day before), and there is no on-site registration.
