36th Annual Bud Light Cowboy Downhill

Over 100 rodeo cowboys competing

36th Annual Bud Light Cowboy Downhill

When: January 19th, 2010

Where: Steamboat Ski Area

It all began 36 years ago when Billy Kidd, Steamboat’s Director of Skiing, and Larry Mahan, six-time All-Around World Champion cowboy, decided to invite a few of the ProRodeo stars to Steamboat for a day of skiing.

The cowboys had such a great time that the Downhill has become the most popular event of the season with over 100 of the best professional rodeo cowboys competing in the most unique ski rodeo in the country.

Cowboy Downhill Events

Dual Slalom Race on Headwall

After negotiating the slalom course, the cowboys must lasso a person, saddle a horse, and cross the finish line in the fastest time and all in one piece.

Grand Finale - The Chaotic Western Stampede on Skis

The Stampede, utilizing a mass start, pits cowboy against cowboy in a winner takes all race down Headwall.
