Steamboat USA

Expert Opinion

"After working a season here, Steamboat is one of my favourite ski resorts. Why? Because it has a locals' feel about the place and a Wild West flavour which comes from the town's ranching heritage. Steamboat is home of the lightest, driest Champagne powder plus the views of Yampa Valley are stunning.

Ski Safaris

Steamboat is located within an easy drive to a number of other Colorado resorts, which makes a multi-resort Ski Safari a very easy option if you're looking to explore the region. A twin centre with Winter Park is a fantastic option, combining two Colorado resorts with high annual snowfalls.
