Famous for its 'champagne powder'
In a nutshell
Steamboat skiing is a different sensation to almost anywhere else on the planet.. The term 'champagne powder' was coined here, as Steamboat boasts the driest and fluffiest snow in the world - a fact backed up by meteorologists who have found 70% less moisture content than in average snow!
Skiing in Steamboat can also be extra special because it’s one of the quieter resorts in the area; you can often feel you have these incredible conditions almost to yourself. The whole resort is spread over 3 mountains, with the small town of Steamboat Springs tucked away in the Routt National Forest. It combines Western heritage and genuine friendliness with a world-class ski resort.
In Steamboat, skiing and snowboarding are the main attractions, but there are plenty of other activities to tempt you, including bathing in legendary natural hot springs and snowmobiling the Continental Divide. And with the Kids' Vacation Center, the SoBe Terrain Park and the Kids' Ski FREE programme, this is definitely the number 1 family resort in the west.
Après-ski
When you've finished playing, there are more than 75 restaurants and bars to explore, or head for one of many prestigious spas for a massage!
