Billy Kidd at Sunset, Steamboat




Billy Kidd, ex-US Olympic skier, is a bit of a legend in Steamboat Springs. He was brought up in Stowe, Vermont but relocated to Steamboat in 1970 and is now their local hero. If you are visiting the town, you can actually meet and ski with him since he leads a group from the top of the gondola each day at 1pm.

Although I didn’t get to meet him, I did take a look at this well-known bronze sculpture which is right at the base of the slopes by the main gondola. This shot was taken on our first night in the town when the sunset light on the mountain was absolutely fabulous.
