IT’S TIME TO REGISTER FOR THE WINTER SUMMIT!
Join BLUE HAWK in Steamboat Springs for the Winter Summit. The Winter Summit meeting will be held on Wednesday afternoon, January 18. In addition to business and valuable networking, enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, horseback riding, snow tubing and fly fishing.
Steamboat Springs is nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, off the beaten path but still within reach. Known as Ski Town, U.S.A., you’ll find the lightest, driest, fluffiest snow on earth in Steamboat Springs, Champagne Powder® snow. You’ll also find six towering peaks, 3,000 skiable acres and 165 trails that offer up a little bit of everything — from perfect beginner runs, to long cruisers, to the steep and deep — and just for a little icing on the cake, some flat-out awesome tree skiing.
Not a skier? This winter wonderland has endless activities that will have you experiencing the great outdoors and indoors, from winter activities to dining, shopping, and unwinding in natural hot springs. Steamboat Spring has something to offer everyone.
Steamboat Spring, Colorado

BLUE HAWK Winter Summit
Don’t miss this great opportunity to network with the BLUE HAWK Members, Vendor Partners and Solution Partners in a fun, relaxed environment. We’ve repeatedly heard that deeper relationships have been made at this event more than others. The nature of the smaller event, doing adventurous activities together and reminiscing about them at the networking receptions at the end of the day are a hit with attendees.

Snowmobiling
Enjoy the gorgeous views
of the Flattops,
Mt. Werner, Sleeping Giant,
and the Zirkels all while
zooming along on a
snowmobile. After our
adventure, enjoy a warm
cup of hot chocolate and a
freshly baked cookie.
Horseback Riding
If taking in the beautiful
views at a slower pace on horseback is more your
speed, this adventure is for
you. Ride over the hills
and through the trees of
this snowy wonderland and
gaze at the Flattops, Sleeping Giant, and Mt. Werner.
Hot chocolate and cookie
also included.
Snow Tubing
Strap on your spurs,
pull down your hat and get ready to slide. The hill is groomed
and equipped with a
state-of-the-art tube-tow lift system that attaches
itself to the tube to transport
you back to the top.
From there, speed down
one of the three runs
on the hill.
Fly Fishing
Don’t let winter fool you.
Fly fishing in the winter is
great fun. This trip will include
a short snowmobile ride
to the river, beautiful
scenery, and catching trout
for some great fish
tales. No experience
is necessary.
