Brent Boyer: Life carries on
I sit at my office desk, waiting for the words to come. They don't. My mind is preoccupied - not with my work, but rather by the steady snow that falls silently outside the window.

I've lived in Steamboat Springs a little more than five years now, and I'm still amazed at how life carries on despite our harsh winter weather.

Q & A with rancher Rick Wilhelm
Come February, Rick Wilhelm will saddle up his white horse Badger and ride laps down Lincoln Avenue. Behind him, local children will hold on for dear life - and, in so doing, will keep alive a Steamboat tradition almost a century in the making. The Wilhelm family has played a significant role in that tradition, providing some of the horses and riders for Winter Carnival street events for the past 60 years. This will be the first year since 1949 that Rick's mom, Patsy Wilhelm, won't roam snow-covered Lincoln Avenue. Patsy, a quintessential rancher with the spirit and work ethic of five adult men, passed away last August in Loveland. She was 67. Rick took a few moments out of an early winter day to talk with At Home about ranching, Winter Carnival and his mom.
