“Head for the Hills" has created a sound that is all at once organic, precise, timeless, and brand-new,” as reported by the Missoula Independent. The acclaimed Colorado quartet has been receiving nation-wide recognition in response to their refreshing take on acoustic music. Described as “modern acoustic” music, H4TH produces an endearing mixture of homegrown compositions, traditional harmonies, and improvisation. In the live setting, H4TH ventures into a myriad of musical styles and sonic landscapes that appeal to a boundless array of listeners.

Time: Concert starts at 4:00 P.M.
Where: Steamboat Stage in Gondola Square
Looking back over the past 25 years of rootsy, string-based music, the impact of Leftover Salmon is impossible to deny. Formed in Boulder at the end of 1989, the Colorado slamgrass pioneers were one of the first bluegrass bands to add drums and tour rock & roll bars, helping Salmon become a pillar of the jam band scene and unwitting architects of the jam grass genre. If Leftover Salmon had never played another note after leaving the stage in 2005, the legacy would have been secure; the members’ names etched in the books of history.
6th Annual Splashdown Pond Skimming Competition
Date: Sunday, April 14, 2013
Time: 4:00 P.M.
Where: Base of the Steamboat Ski Area
The Steamboat Ski Area closes out its 50th Anniversary Season on Sunday, April 14th with special Springalicious Festival events including the finale concert as part of the Bud Light Rocks the Boat Golden Anniversary Free Concert Series, and the SPLASHDOWN Pond Skimming Competition Sunday. Steamboat’s bravest (and maybe craziest) skiers/riders will attempt to cross an ice-cold pond at the base of the mountain, while being judged on distance, outfit creativity, and crowd response. Both events take place at the base of the ski area.
