Head three hours northwest of Denver to nearly 3000 skiable acres of pristine Champagne Powder™. Add a 3668 foot vertical drop, mix in 140 trails and one of the Rockies' largest lift systems, and you've got Steamboat, Ski Town U.S.A. Explore the trail on horseback, cross country skis or a snowmobile… even go tubing down the mountain! Dining and shopping choices are endless in Steamboat's charming Old Town








In Steamboat Springs, Colorado, locals say "never lay your skis down flat." This, of course, is because they might disappear under the copious amounts of snowfall the town and ski area receive: 337 inches annually. And it's not just any snow. The ski corporation actually registered a trademark for the phrase Champagne Powder®, and if you've skied there on a good day you know it's not an idle boast.

But Steamboat is known as Ski Town USA® for another reason. No other town in North America has produced more winter Olympians than Steamboat Springs, a record 54 and counting, and Steamboat sent more athletes to the 2002 Games than many small countries - including Travis Mayer, 2002 Olympic Silver Medalist.


With 142 trails, 3,668 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 skiable acres, Steamboat Resort's 5 peaks are filled with world-class cruisers, bumps, steeps, famous trees and Mavericks - North America's longest superpipe - named after the legendary California surf spot.

The Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel is the new flagship resort hotel and conference center at the ski area, a beautiful property located just across the street from the gondola. There is also a huge selection of condos, townhomes and private homes for rent, including those offered by Mountain Resorts and Steamboat Resorts.
