More about Steamboat
The Resort
The mountain spans six distinct peaks, offering a massive 2,965 acres of skiable terrain. It is particularly renowned for its perfectly spaced glades, offering unparalleled tree skiing for advanced and expert riders. At the same time, the lower and middle mountains provide incredibly wide, impeccably groomed cruisers that are a dream for beginners and intermediates.
Beyond the slopes, Steamboat Springs offers a vibrant, historic downtown area located just a few miles from the resort base. Visitors can soak in the natural Strawberry Park Hot Springs after a long day on the slopes, shop at local western boutiques, or enjoy a thriving culinary scene that punches well above its weight for a ski town.
On the Mountain
Steamboat offers a phenomenal mix of terrain, famously known for possessing some of the best glade skiing in North America. While experts navigate the deep snow of the Shadows and Closets tree runs, beginners and intermediates can cruise along endless, beautifully groomed trails on Sunshine Peak.
Park Range, Colorado Rocky Mountains
The Park Range is geographically positioned to catch abundant Pacific moisture, generating the prolific, ultra-dry snowfall that Steamboat is famous for.
