Pros: Yes, it IS possible to have fun in a ski village in the summertime Cons: No, I cannot give you my arm in exchange for a gallon of milk
I realize that there may be people out there who are having a hard time imagining visiting a ski village in the summertime. However, I've found that for a non-skier/snowboarder like me, the summertime is the best time to go. You can usually catch good...
Pros: Big Mountain, "Champaign Powder", Long Runs Cons: Crowded, Expensive(but what isn't?)
As most of you people know, Steamboat is a large Ski/Snowboard resort located in North Central Colorado. It is a nice secluded area with not many towns surrounding it. The drive to the town is very scenic and kind of dangerous during a snow storm. ...
Pros: Wide range of terrain for all skill levels, a family-oriented resort. Cons: Snowboarders are not the most popular people on the mountain.
Steamboat is a top-notch resort with some of the best snow in the U.S. (their self-proclaimed ‘champagne powder’ is everything they promise it will be). It’s easy to access from Denver; you can either fly into Hayden Airport or drive or take a shuttle...
Pros: Local flavor, variety of cruising runs,fewer crowds, less expensive Cons: Few expert areas, less glamor than other Colorado resorts.
Getting There

Pros: huge number of trails, big vertical and acreage, bumps, trees Cons: steeps too short, flat groomers
I just got back from a week long trip to Steamboat 3/24-31 for Spring Break and it was just awesome. I really didnt know what to expect since it was so late in the season and id never been there. all my knowledge came from reading epinions. I have to say...
Pros: Excellent weather, many trails, awesome skiing, good food. Cons: We had to leave eventually

Pros: Best overall resort in the country Cons: Crowded on holidays
Steamboat Springs, Colorado could quite possibly be the be overall ski resort in the country. The mountains offer over 100 trails, with many sections intelligently grouped by ability. You will never see green or blue trails anywhere near those...
Pros: Great skiing!!! Charming town!!!! Cons: 2 1/2 hour drive from Denver.
Last February my wife and 7 friends went to Steamboat, Colorado for a ski vacation. It was the greatest vacation I have ever had. We flew into Denver and rented a van for the 2 1/2 hour ride to Steamboat. I recommend that you not fly into Denver,...
Pros: Excellent conditions Cons: Not enough steeps
My Husband & I went to Steamboat for our honeymoon 4 years ago and while a lot can change in that time I'm sure it's still the charming Western Ski town it was then. We stayed on the mountain for some fabulous ski in/ski out skiing. The abundance of...

I have been to Steamboat twice, once with just my parents and the other time with my friends and my parents. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was well worth it. I am pretty much an intermediate skier and I don't do a whole lot of black diamonds,...

Pros: best snow around Cons: not always snow at thanksgiving
Steamboat is a family resort. I have skied there many times with small children and the lift operators are very accomodating. They slow the chair lift down for the kids to get on and they don't fuss about it.
Other resorts I have visited do not...

We went on our first ski trip to Steamboat Springs March 13 – March 18, 2006. My party consisted of my husband, my six-year-old son, and me. It was really fun! We stayed at the Steamboat Sheraton, which is ski in/ski out. The location is great. ...
Pros: Three incredible boarder parks, not very long lift lines Cons: sometimes slushy conditions

Pros: There's something for all age groups to do Cons: Travel to Steamboat is a bit complicated

I have visited Steamboat each of the past 10 years, and I had a great time each visit. There is literally something for everyone on Steamboat’s ski mountain, Mt. Werner. For the beginner or the kids, you can try one of Steamboat’s many green runs,...
Pros: Awesome skiing Cons: Off the beaten path-sorta
As the title says, the secret is out. For years, people living in and around Steamboat tried to downplay the slopes for one simple reason. Steamboat has some of the best powder in the world, and they wanted to keep it to themselves. I have written a...

Pros: Reasonable rates, close to everything, private Cons: homes are privately owned: not all equipped uniformly
My family found the best guarded secret resort in Colorado last summer. It is the Glen Eden Resort in Clark, Colorado which is just outside the Steamboat Springs area. Talk about the perfect vacation....my siblings, parents, and I plus our families all...

Pros: beautiful, fun, relaxing, and meaningful Cons: none
Incredible. Breathtaking. Pure Relaxation. My recent trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado with my family was truly a memorable one. Being from the east coast, my Winter trips have always consisted of semi-icy skiing at best. But gliding down the...

Pros: Snow making capacity, staff, rental equipment Cons: Very expensive restaurants, went too early in the season.
My wife and two boys spent a week in Steamboat last year. We went in December which is not the best time of season due to the lack of snow. There were a limited number of runs open, but the variety was a full range from green to double diamond. That...
Pros: Big mountian, usually had great snow Cons: cost, not a lot for beginners, a long drive from the Denver area
I just got back from Steamboat. What wonderful skiing! After having a slow start all over Colorado it was begun to snow and snow in Steamboat, making the skiing some of the best I've ever had. Its a big resort so you won't get board, but it may be...
Steamboat doesn't have the profile of Aspen and Vail but in my view has everything one could want in a ski resort - a big mountain with a variety of terrain for all levels of skiers, great snow, easy to get to but not so easy that it's over-developed,...
Pros: Some of the best tree skiing in CO. The town is somewhat preserved, fairly cheap. Cons: If traveling by car, some major passes you must drive through.
At times the mountain passes can be down right dangerous,if you drive through at the wrong times you can find yourself in a "whiteout", but other than that, the area is well preserved, the town is great,small and genuine in every aspect. They...

Last year, I went snow skiing for the first time in my life. Where did I go? Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Was I pleased? Well, yeah, to say the least, I was. If you are a beginner, Steamboat Springs is the place for you. First of all, it is not all...
Pros: awesome tree skiing, and good night life Cons: far drive from Denver
Steamboat has the best tree skiing that I have ever experienced. The tree skiing in steamboat is unbelievable, the trees are so separated and equally spread apart that it is almost fasenating.

I went to Steamboat for the first time in the winter of 1998. I went with my entire family and we had a blast. For those who have never skied in the West, the ski in/ski out was phenomenal. For those used to the West, Steamboat offers a number of nice...
Steamboat is awesome. You know there probably isn't any other place I would rather be right now. If it was't for the whole job thing putting a cramp in my style. I would be back there in an instant. First of all, Steamboat is very difficult to get...
About a year ago I went with my family to Colorado and skied at Steamboat. We weren't sure that this would be a good choice with my two kids, 8 and 11. This was probably the best choice we could have made! Not just the ski resort was built for kids, but...
Pros: good slopes, lots of shops, peaceful, good restaurants Cons: Have to take a separate plane to Steamboat, far from other resorts

Pros: Great skiing for beginners to the highly skilled. Cons: A bit challenging to actually get there. Somewhat expensive.
As novice skiers, my husband and I absolutely loved Steamboat Springs. The local people could not have been more friendly, and there was so much to do--both on and off the mountain. The appealing thing about Steamboat was that it was a great vacation for us (as a couple), but was equally family-friendly. I would go back with kids, or just with friends. Ski school is a must, in my opinion. Definitely worth every cent. We started out as level 1 and graduated to level 5--level 8 is expert. (FYI, you are supposed to tip your ski instructor. We weren't aware!) The base of the mountain got a little crowded in the afternoon, and we heard it's especially crowded over Christmas and spring break. Stemboat is famous for its "champagne powder" and it lived up to its reputation. Great skiing. Venturing into town to eat was also a delightful experience! Breakfast at The Shack was so good, I went twice in four days. But, for us, the best part had to be literally skiing off the mountain right into the bar on the slopes! Its the best thing in the world after 4 hrs of skiing.
