Description:
Steamboat Springs, Colorado has truly earned the moniker "Ski Town USAÌÎÌàåÌ¥."  The Steamboat Ski & Resort offers exciting activities and gorgeous lodgings that are influenced by the area's western ranching and mountaineering culture.  Of course, the ski slopes' legendary Champagne PowderÌÎÌàå_ is also a popular attraction.  Nestled at 7,000 feet, Steamboat boasts 6 peaks, approximately 3,000 acres of ski/snowboard terrain, and a network of 19 hiking/biking trails that spans 50 miles.  Whether you're a seasoned veteran of extreme terrain or a novice ski bunny (or even if you don't ski at all), you're sure to find plenty to see and do at our world-renowned resort. 

In the summer, Steamboat features fishing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, mountain climbing, hot air ballooning, and ATV tours.  If you're not the outdoorsy type, then consider patronizing one of Steamboat's five-star restaurants, unique boutiques, or rejuvenating spas.  Special events such as the New Year's Eve Torchlight Parades & Fireworks (sponsored by Sprint), Wild West Air Fest, and the Mountain Block Party also provide fun and excitement year round.  Steamboat boasts lodgings to fit every style and budget- from family-friendly hotels to romantic bed and breakfasts.

Steamboat's terrain park adjacent to Mavericks features an outdoor sound system, a variety of rails; kinked, sliders, rainbows, "s" mailboxes, and double barrel.  Novice riders flock to Mini-Mav, a miniature version of the superpipe with eight-foot walls.

World-Class Dining

The cuisine of the Old West is the name of the game in Steamboat.  Vacationers will be pleased to note that Colorado dining has come a long way since the days of cowboys roasting wild game while on a cattle drive.  In fact, upscale chop houses and locally-inspired spa cuisine are some of the most buzzworthy options in our scenic Rocky Mountain town. 

Take in mountain views at Hazie's, a fine dining establishment located at the top of the Gondola.  Hazie's serves upscale three-course meals as well as a delectable Sunday brunch buffet.  The Steamboat Grand Hotel & Resort also offers a variety of apres-ski options; such as Chaps Bar & Grill, which offers a variety of beers and several large-screen TVs, and The Cabin, which serves mouthwatering steaks, chops, and seafood. 

During the summer, Martini Fest (August), Mountain Block Party! (Fridays), and the Steamboat Wine Festival are great options for foodies.  If you're looking to add some adventure to your dinner, then consider booking one of our Guided Gourmet Hikes.
