Located in Steamboat Springs, Howelsen Hill is mainly an alpine jumping
venue. Howelsen was built in the early 90's and held the first Nordic
Combined world cup event ever in the western United States in '94. Howelsen
is so popular for the event that the world cup event has been held there
every year since then as well. Howelsen hopes to have this event be
an annual occasion.
Editors Note: Howelsen is mainly for ski jumping, but there
are some other runs if you need somewhere to take a few runs and don't
want to venture to Steamboat.
