STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Steamboat Springs has sent athletes to every Winter Olympics except two, in 1928 and 1936. It’s had at least one athlete at every Game since 1948, and often several at each.

Training with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club gets an athlete on the list. Some grew up in town and skied their first runs on Howelsen Hill. Others moved to the city as children and some came later to train with specific coaches or in particular programs.

When it comes to counting, it’s “once a Steamboater, always a Steamboater,” but it doesn’t work retroactively. Billy Kidd, a 1964 Olympic silver medalist and one of the most famous faces of Steamboat, didn’t move to town until after his days competing and isn’t on the list.

An athlete earns the honor once he or she been named to a national Olympic team, even if ensuing injuries prevent actual competition.

All told, 88 athletes make the list having made a combined 151 Winter Olympics appearances.
