The Colorado ski town of Steamboat Springs has Wild West flair, featuring a biathlon where competitors dress in vintage fur trapper’s clothing and then ski while shooting black powder muzzleloaders. Aside from other traditional ski contests, there are also shovel races, a donkey jump and two races that blur the line between dog sledding and dad sledding: in one contest, family dogs pull their kids on sleds, and in the other, dads do the same, on all fours.
