STEAMBOAT SPRINGS A 2020-21 ski season at Steamboat Resort was never a guarantee.
After the 2019-20 season was cut short in March 2020, the community quickly began to wonder how long COVID-19 restrictions would last and if people would be allowed to return to the mountain. Local leaders and health officials held meetings with Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. and continually asked what everyone was thinking: Could a new season happen, how could it happen safely and what would have to change?
The answer largely rested in the ability of local officials, the resort and the community to work together in slowing the spread.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS While COVID-19 has forced a significant change to the format of the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors Community Christmas Dinner, they still plan to give out about 600 meals Friday.
Instead of buffet lines and a sea of red and green clothed tables draped with garland, volunteers will be outside, handing out meals through car windows at Snow Bowl, at 2090 Snow Bowl Plaza, and the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors office, at 625 S. Lincoln Ave.
Dinners will be given out from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, serving about 600 meals total, 300 at each location.
This is just the latest effort by the Steamboat community to prepare meals for those in need. Over the summer, Snow Bowl served more than 20,000 meals through their Family Bowl program and, in partnership with the Routt County United Way, served about 500 more meals on Thanksgiving.
