Let’s ride! Kick off the 2025/26 winter season in true Steamboat style with our Opening Day Celebration. Whether you're rocking an Ikon Pass, Ikon Base, or Steamboat-specific pass — you're good to go from day one.

Festivities start at 7:30am | Lifts open at 8:30am

What’s in store:
Be one of the first 100 on the mountain and score a limited-edition Opening Day tee designed by Ohana, plus a cozy pair of Smartwool socks.

7:30–9:30am
Kick off Opening Day with mimosas, fresh coffee, and donuts in Steamboat Square.

8:05–8:20am
Join us for inspiring remarks and the presentation of checks to our local nonprofit partners: Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, Routt County Crisis Support, Routt County Search and Rescue, and Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Center.

8:29:50am
Get ready—the official Opening Day countdown begins!

8:30am
Ring in the season with the Champagne Powder Bell, a champagne saber moment, and confetti! It's go time.

1:00–4:00pm
Keep the celebration rolling with Pickin’ on The Dead live on the Steamboat Stage.

Do your snow Dance! and let the season begin!
