Skiers and snowboarders let out whoops of excitement as they tipped over the top of Sitz to Vogue early Wednesday at Steamboat Ski Area. Scholarship Day, the first day of the season at Steamboat Ski Area, offered 12 runs and two lifts to skiers as a fundraiser for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. In the past 19 years, the annual event has raised more than $500,000 for local athletes. Sarah Floyd, director of athletics for the Winter Sports Club, served hot drinks to early-bird skiers Wednesday at a tent in Gondola Square. “What we’re doing right now is really just trying to show our appreciation to the people who support Winter Sports Club on Scholarship Day,” Floyd said.
