Nothing beats the freedom of skiing and snowboarding quite like skiing and snowboarding for free. For the second year, historic Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs will offer free skiing on Sundays this season. (Sunday skiing also is free on Howelsen’s nine cross country trails.) Prior to last season, free skiing was offered one Sunday a month in the previous two seasons. Howelsen Hill is a modest area with a rich history dating back to 1915, making it Colorado’s oldest continually operating ski area.
