At Slifer Smith & Frampton, showing up for the communities we call home sits at the core of who we are and what we do. As Colorado’s largest independently owned real estate company, our mission goes far beyond buying and selling homes—we’re here to help build stronger, more vibrant communities. We’re proud to support local causes that uplift the people, places, and culture that make our region so unique. Through charitable giving, sponsorships, volunteerism, and partnerships with local organizations, we’re committed to investing in the future of Routt County and beyond.

Since expanding into the Yampa Valley in the summer of 2024, we’ve been intentional about how we show up—not just in real estate, but as neighbors, partners, and stewards of this incredible place. We’re proud to support organizations and initiatives that reflect the values of Steamboat Springs and the greater Routt County region. From sponsoring beloved local events and nonprofits to rolling up our sleeves for neighborhood cleanups, we’re here to contribute with both heart and action. One of our proudest local commitments is our top-tier sponsorship of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club—a century-strong organization that develops youth through sport and community. Whether it’s promoting local arts, preserving local history, supporting education, or stewarding our environment, our goal is simple: to serve the communities we live in because we believe in their spirit, their people, and their potential.

A Spotlight on the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club

One of our most meaningful partnerships in the Yampa Valley is with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club (SSWSC), where we are honored to be a Gold Level sponsor. Founded in 1914, SSWSC is one of the oldest and most successful winter sports clubs in North America. With over 1,200 local athletes, the club provides youth development programs that shape champions both on and off the mountain. Whether in alpine, freestyle, Nordic, or backcountry disciplines, SSWSC instills life skills, confidence, and community spirit. Our partnership supports this legacy and helps ensure that future generations of Routt County youth continue to have access to these transformative opportunities.
