It all began 38 years ago when Billy Kidd, Steamboat's Director of Skiing, and Larry Mahan,
six-time All-Around World Champion cowboy, decided to invite a few of the Pro-Rodeo stars to
Steamboat for a day of skiing. The cowboys had such a great time that the Downhill has become the
most popular event of the season with over 100 of the best professional rodeo cowboys competing in
the most unique ski rodeo in the country.
Sponsored by Bud Light, the Cowboy Downhill is always scheduled to coincide with the National
Western Stock Show in Denver. |
