Professional cowboys and cowgirls hit the slopes at Steamboat Ski Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for the mountain's 49th annual Cowboy Downhill. The National Western Stock Show is very Colorado. Skiing is also very Colorado, but in a different way. And, similar to the plot of a 1990s teen romantic comedy, these two same but different things came together Monday to create something that’s perfect. We’re talking about the Cowboy Downhill, a tradition that’s been going on in Steamboat Springs for 49 years. Here’s how it works: a bunch of people in cowboy outfits compete in a timed slalom, and have to do tricks with ropes at the end of it. Video courtesy of Steamboat Ski Resort.
