What's in a Name?
Steamboat Mountain School, formerly known as the Lowell Whiteman School, was founded in 1957 and is located in Strawberry Park, just north of Steamboat Springs. Originally built as a horse barn around 1939, the "Bunkhouse" was transformed into the boys' dormitory. In 2010 after almost 40 years of service, the dilapidated old barn was burnt down. But alumni of the old building can still recall it's glory days, when future-Olympians would take turns skiing off the roof.
