While Steamboat’s rife with adventures and athletes, it’s also filled with people who explore outside of the Yampa Valley.

The annual Adventure Show celebrates locals and their exploits over the past year. We compiled a postcard-worthy sampling of Steamboat’s top adventures — from kiteboarding in Brazil and hiking the Appalachian Trail to climbing three of the coveted Seven Summits and a road trip to the far reaches of Patagonia — all by neighbors standing next to you in the gondola line.

What do they all share in common? A love for the place they call home when they return.
