Eagle Soaring Airfield

The owner of Eagle Soaring Airfield (1CD4) is George (Ray) Selbe. Ray has graciously given SSSA permission to operate out of his private grass airfield, four miles west of Steamboat Springs. His outstanding runway is 4,600′ long and 150′ wide,  making it an ideal venue for our winch launch operations.
