Steamboat Springs Details Tucked away in Colorado is a small town unlike any other. A place where western heritage and genuine friendliness are as honored as the values of a time gone by. And a place where not a whole lot has changed in the last hundred years. It’s just that now, mixed in with the Stetson hats and cowboy boots, is the sophistication of a world-class resort. Our western heritage, six peaks of world-class terrain, and family programs rated the best in the west by SKI Magazine, continue to set Steamboat apart from every other ski resort.
Whether you’re stepping foot into a local pub, one of our charming boutiques, or stepping off the gondola, the reception is the same – warm. But the down home genuine friendliness is only half the reason people choose to vacation here. Nestled 7,000 feet up in the Colorado Rockies, Steamboat is one of North America’s largest ski mountains. With 164 trails, 3600 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 skiable acres, its six peaks are filled with world-class groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, open meadows, and legendary tree skiing.
Summary:This resort is so hard to describe. How do you describe something that is so nearly perfect that you don't really have words for it? The bottom line is that Steamboat is a [throw in any super-positive adjective here] mountain: huge, snowy, and steep. If you call yourself a freerider, but you aren't reading this from Steamboat Springs, then you need to either quit calling yourself a freerider or move to Steamboat!
Summary:Overall, if you've been to Steamboat you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, then you need to. The terrain is epic, the people are nice, and the quality of the snow is unbeatable.
Summary:Steamboat it is. For all the missing information, look on www.steamboat.com. There is even a daily snow report from the perspective of someone who has been out that very morning riding for about an hour. It is a well-run, magnificent place, deep in the heart of Colorado.
