  I have been skiing for 20 years and Steamboat is a hoot. I normally ski in Tignes, St Anton etc which are fantastic but Steamboat is so much more user friendly. The tree skiing is too funny and guranteed to keep you smiling well into the evening. You can loosten up on some easy runs through the trees and progress onto some seriously challenging stuff, but (and this is the best bit) it's normally easy to bail out if it gets too much. The town's not pretty but then again it's not prupose built, so you mix with the locals when you eat out which keeps it real. I definately recommend Steamboat for anyone who wants to learn powder/tree skiing, you will not be disappointed!

  If you want to try a ski resort in the States for the first time you could not go wrong to try Steamboat, Chair lifts everywhere, great ski school for the kids, no Lift queues (apart from Presidents weeekend but even then not bad) and snow, it always gives heavy snow falls, 3 visits now and never let down. Great for intermediates and those wanting to give tree skiing a go, powder down thru the trees is the best. For those looking for something different a day with the powder, Cats will leave you exhausted but happy. For those who like their cruising runs, try Tomahawk or Buddys Run and there is some nice easy tree skiing along Quickdraw and Flintlock.
