Resort Hotels Colorado Steamboat Plunging through knee-high (Champagne™) fluffy powder in glorious Colorado sunshine (most slops are west facing) to meet friends for lunch at Thunderhead is a great time to reflect on the assets of Steamboat. The Skiing Wonderful and varied are the two words that sum up Steamboat. Roughly 2,939 acres, that will especially appeal to intermediates and upwards, but with plenty to keep first timers and experts amused. And that’s one of Steamboat’s main strengths. Keen on snowboarding? Then Steamboat is for you. The Sobe Terrain Park highly regarded by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine, offers Mavericks, the longest half-pipe on North America, and plenty of rails, hits and jumps to keep you amused. All that and its own Bashor 2person chairlift! Finally, if we tell you that Steamboat Springs is popularly known as ‘Ski Town USA’, and that the area has produced more Olympic champions than any other American resort, perhaps that will be the encouragement you’ll need. Families Steamboat would be a good choice for families, as not only offers children under 12 ski for free, when a parent buys a lift pass for five or more days, but also provides discounts for teenagers between 13-18 year old. Add the excellent crèche facilities and two children’s ski schools and you have all you need. Please note that prebooking is advised for all facilities. ? Out & About The old town Steamboat Springs owes its heritage to cattle and ranching. Much of the wooden architecture is preserved; however it still offers all the modern amenities, including shopping, dining and lodging to fit every need. A mere ten minutes away by shuttle, at the bottom of the ski area is the newer, purpose build ski village, which offers a great choice of bars and restaurants. Facts & figures Skiing: ?
