As the ski season winds down and the days grow longer, Steamboat Springs turns up the volume on fun with its iconic Springalicious® celebration—a multi-week festival packed with live music, quirky competitions, bluebird skiing, and sunshine-filled vibes. From April 1–20, the 2025 Springalicious® schedule is bursting with events that reflect everything we love about this magical mountain town: community, creativity, and unfiltered joy.

We’re all about celebrating what makes Steamboat so special, and Springalicious is the perfect example. Here’s your guide to the can’t-miss events this April:


🎉 April 1–20: Springalicious® Festival Kicks Off

Springalicious spans the last few weeks of the ski season and brings a “boatload of fun” to the base of the mountain. Whether you’re racing a cardboard contraption down the hill or dancing to live music at après, there’s no shortage of action to enjoy.


📅 Springalicious Event Schedule

Wednesday, April 2

🧢 Steamboat Summer Job Fair
Get a head start on your summer! Meet with Steamboat Resort hiring managers and explore job opportunities for the upcoming warm season. A great opportunity for locals and anyone looking to spend summer in paradise.


Saturday, April 5

⛷ Cody’s Challenge – Steamboat’s Only Skimo Race
This high-energy randonee (or “skimo”) race is part competition, part fundraiser—and 100% inspiring. Skiers skin uphill and race down, all in support of the Cody St. John Foundation, which provides scholarships to ski patrollers.

🎿 Complimentary Ikon Pass First Tracks
Ikon Pass holders can enjoy early access to the mountain before it opens to the public. It’s the perfect way to snag fresh corduroy and some solitude before the festivities begin.

🎸 Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series: Drunken Hearts
Kick off your après with Colorado’s own Drunken Hearts, known for their blend of Americana and rock. This free concert takes place on the Steamboat Stage at the base area.


Saturday, April 12

📦 43rd Annual Cardboard Classic
A fan-favorite! Watch as teams launch their homemade cardboard crafts down the slopes in a wild and hilarious race. Creativity, chaos, and cardboard engineering collide in one of Steamboat’s most beloved traditions.

🎶 Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series: Southern Avenue
Memphis soul meets blues and rock with the Grammy-nominated band Southern Avenue bringing the heat to the Steamboat Stage.


Sunday, April 13

💦 Splashdown Pond Skim
A rite of spring! Watch brave (and often costumed) skiers and riders attempt to skim across a frigid pond at the base of the mountain. Some make it… many don’t. Either way, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

🎵 Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series: The Wailers featuring Junior Marvin
End the weekend with a legendary reggae performance from The Wailers, featuring original Bob Marley guitarist Junior Marvin. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a spring sunset over the valley.


April 19–20: Closing Weekend – The Final Showdown

Springalicious goes out with a bang! The last weekend of the season is all about celebration, reflection, and revelry. Enjoy spring skiing at its finest, live music, and the chance to soak up every last turn before the lifts stop spinning.

🎉 Sunday, April 20 – Closing Day 2025
Say goodbye to another incredible season at Steamboat Resort. Come in costume, share a few last laps with friends, and raise a toast to powder days, après memories, and bluebird runs. It’s the unofficial holiday of the ski world, and Steamboat knows how to throw a party.


Why We Love Springalicious

We don’t just sell homes—we live and breathe the Steamboat lifestyle. Springalicious is a beautiful example of what makes this place so special: a strong community, a deep love for the outdoors, and the ability to have fun no matter the season.

Whether you’re a longtime local, a seasonal visitor, or someone thinking about putting down roots in Steamboat Springs, Springalicious shows off the heart and soul of our town.

If you’re planning to visit during April, make sure to schedule a few hours to explore Steamboat’s real estate opportunities while you’re here. Spring is a great time to tour properties, and we’d love to show you how mountain living can become your reality.
