amazing champagne powder snow conditions
Intro
Known as the home of “Champagne Powder” Steamboat is renowned for its excellent snow quality and the quantity in which it falls. Fantastic skiing for all abilities, some of the best tree runs in the USA and excellent child care make Steamboat popular with all demographics. The ski village at the base of the slopes offers a variety of evening entertainment and restaurants and acts as a contrast to the real cowboy town of Steamboat Springs, under 10 minutes on the free shuttle, with its wild west atmosphere.
