Description

Created from images made at Steamboat�s Centennial Winter Carnival Light Show this poster was compiled to represent the variety, and diverse portions of the annual light show assembled together to form an appropriate memorial for all to enjoy.
This Year Steamboat Springs celebrated it�s Centennial Annual Winter Carnival. With the advent of Lighted Man on the Howelsen Hill in 1936 . performed first by Claudius and now by John Banks the Steamboat Winter Carnival created one of the most spectacular light shows ever performed anywhere since 1939. With 75 pounds of explosives strapped to his back John blows off Roman Candles appearing from the top of his head as he traverses a steep slope performing the Snake Dance with the young skiers of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, and Steamboats Professional Ski Patrol jumping through flaming hoops carrying flares and flaming toboggans over a 50 meter ski jump while nearby nearly simultaneously a huge fireworks display is being blown off the top of the hill that out performs July 4th light shows . It is hard to believe such mayhem could erupt in such a short period of time. You would not believe it unless you actually saw it happen in front of your face.
The event visible across the valley for miles around is the highlight of 5 days of celebration, races, games, dancing, carousing, and fun topped off by a parade on Sunday afternoon.
