Steamboat Springs

Located in northwestern Colorado, not far from Wyoming, cowboy country meets ski country in Steamboat, where Lee jeans and big hats are as common as ski jackets and snowboard boots. Steamboat trademarked the name "Ski Town USA" as a testament to its skiing roots and the generations of Olympic athletes who grew up there. Stroll downtown and you might catch a glimpse of future Olympians soaring off the 90-meter jump at Howelsen Hill. Kids ski free, and parents will love the generous snowfall (an average of 330 inches a year) and legendary tree skiing. With infinite lodging options, Steamboat offers a truly unique Colorado experience.

Unlike the days of old, Steamboat Springs, Colorado offers all the latest grooming equipment along with cutting edge chair lift technology and rental ski equipment.
