Winter 2008: Cover Girls Bold and beautiful, as smart as they are athletic, these are Steamboat Magazine cover girls. To celebrate our 30th Anniversary, we are revisiting the array of talented females who have graced our cover over the last three decades. Some still live in town. Some live on the other side of the country. And some have passed on. They all share one thing in common: they’ve added class and character to out magazine. We hope you enjoy this look back as much as we have.
Maggie Rose Carrigan
Maggie Rose Carrigan was the talk of the town when, at 6, she appeared on our Winter 2003 cover dressed in full snowboarding garb. “I remember lots of people telling me ‘You look so cute,’” says the 11-year-old.  | | Maggie Rose Carrigan Today |

She’s still cute but now the fifth grader at Soda Creek Elementary School doesn’t just look adorable with a snowboard. She rips on one going downhill. As a boardercross racer, she qualified for nationals last year in Lake Tahoe and finished ninth. She also races slalom. Her goal is to win a national event this season.
And she has plenty of mentoring. Her older sister Lex and brother Tori are also snowboarders – Lex rides rails while Tori concentrates on the halfpipe. “They just help me to get better at what I like to do,” Maggie Rose says.
Caroline LaLive
When skier Caroline LaLive appeared on our Winter 2002 cover, she was on top of the world. The 22-year-old was training for the Salt Lake Olympics after finishing seventh in the giant slalom at the Nagano Games in 1998.
Unfortunately, fate wouldn’t have it. She had a rough outing in Salt Lake, failing to place in any event. Just before the 2006 Olympics, she broke her patella and femur in a violent crash during a World Cup event in Cortina, Italy. After making a valiant comeback that few thought was possible, she blew her knee out at a Super G event this fall in Austria.

Like many world-class athletes, there’s much more to Caroline than her sport. While working on another comeback, the beautiful 28-year-old will concentrate on her other interests like culture (her father is Swiss) writing (she once penned a column for the Denver Post), and finishing her history degree. And she’ll definitely remain a Steamboat local. “There’s something soothing about Steamboat,” she says. “The people are warm and embracing of their athletes.”
