February 9, 2010 The Roar of Olympic Blood
By Susana
If there is any question as to why you would want to move to Steamboat Springs, Colorado…If there is any question as to why you would want to stay living in Steamboat once you moved here…our Olympic Send-off Friday night would have given you a big resounding answer. It is because of who you are and who we are together.
Sure Steamboat is known for its Champagne Powder and bluebird skies. A year-round outdoor recreational mecca, and world class ski resort, nicknamed Ski Town USA for producing more winter Olympians than any other town – 86 and counting. But what does this have to do with a home?
You will move here because Steamboat is NOT all resort town and is NOT at all a fake town. Steamboat is a real town that happens to conveniently have a world-class ski resort attached.
We are, first and foremost, an amazing community. We are a community that raises Olympians, because we too are all Olympians in breadth of heart and depth of soul.
We close off Main Street, re-routing US Highway 40 for Winter Carnival, the 4th of July and the Halloween evening stroll, because community is important, family is important and kids are important.
We play hard, we work hard, we celebrate together and we mourn together. We are the best and the brightest coming from all walks of life to this cherished hamlet in the Rocky Mountains to make it our homes.
We bring our children here so they can grow up in the best public schools; so they can have Howelsen Hill, our small city-owned downtown ski hill, as an extension of their backyard and the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club as an extension of their family, with Olympians as both their role models and their coaches.
Thousands turned out alongside the Courthouse lawn for our Olympic Send-off Friday night, when we once again rerouted traffic. When Rick DeVos, the director of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, asked how many in the crowd were visitors, we heard a loud cheer. When he asked how many in the crowd were locals, the roar we gave was deafening.
These, after all, are our children we were sending off to the Olympics; our neighbors, our friend’s kids, our older children’s prior classmates, our younger children’s known-on a-first-name-basis heroes.
Their glory during the games will be our glory, and their agony, should there be any, will also be our agony. As such, when the games begin we will all be feeling the roar of the Olympic blood within our own veins, because we are community, we are teammates, we are family and we are Steamboat!
Why move to Steamboat, and why stay in Steamboat once you move here? Because you too feel the Olympic Spirit within your own blood, and it is here you and your family will feel most at home.
I may not have a medal to hand you, per se, but I would be honored to help hand you your keys.
