Skiing & Boarding In Steamboat

Steamboat is a superb family ski resort. Kids ski free as long as they are pre booked and adults rent too. Skiing is over four interlinking peaks: Sunshine, Storm, Thunderhead and Mount Werner, and much of it, especially for intermediates, is through beautiful wooded glades. Steamboat is fortunate not to suffer the normal weekend influx of local skiers from Denver. Beginners will appreciate the convenient location of the nursery slopes at the base of the mountain and the very high standard of teaching. This is an intermediates’ paradise with superb runs down from Sunshine Chair and Buddy’s run down from Storm Peak. Experts will make the most of the famed powder and tackle the ungroomed tree runs from Mount Werner. This is also the place to learn to telemark, if you are ready for your next challenge.

Après-ski In Steamboat

The main focus of activity is to be found in and around Ski Time Square with its attractive restaurants and lively bars. Downtown Steamboat is the authentic West - try the Old Town Pub or the Loft. The Slopeside Grill has a great Happy Hour. Winter activities include the hot springs, tennis, sleigh dinners, ice-skating and hot air ballooning. A ‘must’ is a visit to Strawberry Park Hot springs - three natural hot pools in a beautiful woodland setting, only eight miles from Steamboat itself, offering the perfect way to relax tired limbs.
