STEAMBOAT SPRINGS SKI RESORT 

STEAMBOAT RESORT  "Ski Town USA"

Steamboat is known as "Ski Town USA" & really does retain the distinctive flavour of the Old West. Steamboat's 6 peaks are filled with world-class groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, open meadows, legendary trees & Mavericks – North America's longest superpipe. The term Champagne Powder was coined in Steamboat and this is the only place you’ll find it!
