Steamboat Ski Resort Guide
Steamboat Ski Resort Guide
Steamboat is where Olympian Billy Kidd hangs out and, when he's in town, you (and many of your new found friends) can ski with him every day. This is the 'Wild West' and the atmosphere in the village and on the slopes reflects it. Yes, you can wear your cowboy hat when you ski. Be sure there's a strap under it. The town at Steamboat is as much fun as the mountain too. Hotels, condominiums, and townhouses are available at the base and nearby town. Camper facilities are located in town, with utilities and convenience stores. Other nearby facilities at Steamboat are Ski Time and Fish Creek campgrounds within 5 miles of the ski resort.

Visitor Reviews of Steamboat
RB from United States writes:
Steamboat is a terrific family area. It is quite big, both in area and in vertical. It accomodates all levels of skiers, but has a manageable feel. For instance, the whole mountain leads down into one base area (unlike Vail, for instance). The ski school is excellent. Snowfall tends to be somewhat greater and more dependable than the central and southern Colorado resorts, but not quite up to Utah standards. Housing options are plentiful and reasonable, at least by western ski resort standards. The town is authentic, not purpose built, and offers varied dining options.
For variety, try guided snowcat skiing in the Buffalo Pass area. Really a great experience.
