On the slopes

Ski Steamboat and you have something for everyone. With over 160 runs serviced by 20 lifts, and with 56 per cent of the terrain designated intermediate, there are plenty of sweeping groomed runs to enjoy. Beginners will find a beginners-only area and lift, while advanced skiers will enjoy some challenging mogul fields. Boarders should head to the Bashor Terrain Park, which has a sound system, a large bowl, over a dozen rails, and the USA's longest super-pipe.

Off the slopes

Hotels and condominiums are to be found either slope-side at Steamboat, or else in the nearby town, which is just a short walk or shuttle ride away. The town has retained much of its old Western charm, and in addition to the restaurants and bars offers a great variety of shops, galleries and museums. If you want a break from skiing, you can enjoy the local mineral hot springs, hot-air ballooning, sleigh rides, horseback riding, or snowmobile tours.
