The Skiers' Guide to Steamboat

Steamboat in Colorado was totally different to a previous ski trip I’d been to in Europe. A proper cowboy town with a unique look. The resort is huge with so many mountains featuring lots of different runs. Baby Powder was the best, fresh pow daily which was amazing to board down. Food up the mountain was so good, a bowl of bison chilli with cornbread and beer was my daily diet! Aprés ski was always busy and bustling with crowds of fun people. At night in the town a bar called Scmiggitys was the best for music and drinks. Lots of buses running through the town to and from the resort which really helped. Definitely the best ski holiday I’d been on and would happily go back again.

Steamboat is great with fresh snow but little hard to get to, and with all the new money things are getting a little pricey. Great back country

One of my favorite trips of all time. I made sure I synced up the trip with some great bands at Old Town Pub. How can you beat riding the best tree runs all day, and jaming out all night long only to repeat the next day and the next day? Since its not a daytrip for the entire city of Denver, Steamboat delivers the highest quality of riding with out the jam packed lift lines.

Steamboat is an awesome place to visit and explore. I was there for the close of season weekend and it was still world class skiing

Took a weeklong trip after a storm, snow was true champagne powder. Shuttles take hotel guests from the hotel to downtown for free and was an awesome night life on the weekends. Tree runs are unmatched amazing mix of aspen and pine trees. Lift network was very modern and easy to navigate. Christmas tree bowl is the best run on the mountain by far.

Great spot for big powder days and between the trees runs. Big resort and usually has the best snow in Colorado

As a first time skier, I appreciated the low staffing ratios of the ski school and how the greens were not limited to one small portion of the mountain. For the people in my group with more experience, there were still plenty of blues and blacks. The snow was good quality, very little ice.

steamboat is a great mountain for the family! it has runs for every level & the tree runs are plenty! it is well groomed, the fresh powder is so light! a must ski!

Hands down the best all around mountain in Colorado. The tree skiing is unreal, you don’t get day trippers and the apres is so fun. Sometimes the gondola line gets lengthy but they’re pretty efficient about it.

Went for a bachelor party. Was a great spot for spring skiing. The base village has grown considerably since I was last there with good bars for apres. Hosted a large concert at the base. Snow and mountain were great for all levels. Lots of groomers. Not busy at all.

The best tree runs in the world!

When Steamboat gets powder it is so light and fluffy. The resort lifts connect the two sides of the mountain so easily.

I absolutely love Steamboat. They always have the best snow and a variety of terrain for all levels. The base is beautifully appointed and there is ample lodging close to the mountain and in town. The lifts are updated and there are never very many long lines. I really appreciate the new ways they did the gondolas where you do not need to walk on concrete and take your skiis off to get on.

There is a large selection of food in different places on the mountain and in the village. Steamboat also has one of the best bus systems of any resort allowing you to stay pretty much anywhere and get access to the mountain.

Besides the mountain steamboat also has two hot springs that you can visit during your trip making the perfect evening relaxation spot.

Family friendly, all encompassing, beautiful resort. So much fun for everyone of all ages and abilities.

2 gondolas move skiers/boarders up the mountain swiftly. Several different peaks to ski from. Most have a choice of blue and black so groups can split up and meet at the lift. Good food on the mountain but seating is crowded during peak lunch time. Base has good apres-ski and bus service to downtown is excellent!!

The boat, its legendary for a reason. Off the beaten path and away from the I70 craziness, Steamboat is a hidden gem. Some of the best skiing/boarding in Colorado. Theres even a taco truck on a snowcat, how can you beat that?!

My favourite USA resort. Its conditions are always amazing there. I love the restaurant selection as well. I cant wait to go back.

Steamboat was a fantastic resort for anyone who is chasing powder. The off-piste riding was phenomenal, I'd definitely return.

Had an amazing experience with my family. Very kid and family friendly with an awesome base and downtown area.

Steamboat is extremely beginner friendly if youre new to skiing. It offers a wide variety of terrain whether youre new to skiing or an expert. There is a general sense of acceptance here that I dont think you can find anywhere else. One of my favorite resorts.

steamboat is a great family mtn. there are some steeps in & out of bounds, long fun cruisers, and of course, our champaigne powder! i moved there in the early '90's, obviously things change but 'you just gotta poke around' and youll find ian incredible local community. its less of a ranching town these days but if you drive out of town 5min anyway you find ranchers!
