Steamboat ski resort

Snow Range

2070-3150m

amazing champagne powder snow conditions

Home to more Winter Olympians than any other resort in North America, Steamboat is a fantastic destination for skiers of all levels. Downtown Steamboat Springs dates back to the end of the last century and provides an authentic cowboy atmosphere while the more modern village awaits at the base of the ski lifts. Both areas have a wide choice of bars, shops and restaurants and are only 8 minutes apart on the free shuttle.With the infamous 'champagne powder' snow and wild west atmosphere, no wonder it is known as 'Ski Town USA!'.
