STEAMBOAT (The Mountain): BILLY KIDD, World Champion, Olympic Medalist and Director of Skiing still skis with visitors down Heavenly Daze, a great chance to ski with the best! More than 56 Olympians call Steamboat home. Kidd still skis for the right reason. He loves it!

STEAMBOAT is actually a mountain range made up of: MT WERNER, SUNSHINE PEAK, STORM PEAK, THUNDERHEAD PEAK and CHRISTIE PEAK. There is an abundance of terrain for all skill levels. You have your pick of any terrain as you travel from peak to peak. Combine that with four different terrain parks and a huge halfpipe.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (The Town): A brief one mile ride on the free shuttle bus takes you to this historic western town, nestled deep in the Northwest Colorado sheep and cattle ranching country. Real western stores in business for nearly 100 years sit side by side with modern day shops serving winter and summer sports enthusiasts. Steamboat Ski Resort is primarily known as one of America's top family ski resorts. The resort features smooth, dry snow called "Champagne Powder" that's spread across 165 trails and nearly 3,000 skiable acres. Winter sports enthusiasts will also find four terrain parks, including Mavericks, the resort's largest terrain park and a popular spot for snowboarders. Travelers will be looking forward to a prime week of skiing Steamboat’s trademark Champagne Powder! Steamboat is far enough from Denver that it will not be overwhelmed with "day skiers". Many skiers who recently visited praised the well-maintained mountain and base area, noting that the trees are groomed and the ski trails suitable for all skill levels. Some longtime repeat travelers wished the new resort owners kept the shops and restaurants once found at the base of the mountain, but most regular guests praised the property's less crowded atmosphere and top-notch powder.

In the 1800’s, hundreds of natural mineral hot springs surrounded the area. Their roaring bubbling noises gave Steamboat Springs its name. Some of those springs exist today like the Strawberry Park Hot Springs. The hot mineral laden water will relax and soothe your muscles after a long day on the slopes.
