Located in the historic ranching town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Steamboat Ski Resort is famous worldwide for its trademarked Champagne Powder® snow. This exceptionally dry and fluffy snow is the result of winter storms filtering over the Park Range, dropping an average of 314 inches annually. Unlike purpose-built resort villages, Steamboat has deep Western roots and a rich Olympic heritage, having produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America.
Spanning a massive 2,965 skiable acres across a complete mountain range (Mount Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak, Christie Peak, and Pioneer Ridge), Steamboat offers a staggering 3,668-foot vertical drop. The resort is serviced by 23 lifts, including a high-speed gondola. While it features 170 named trails catering well to beginners (14%) and intermediates (42%), Steamboat is legendary among advanced skiers (44%) for having some of the best tree skiing in the world. The perfectly spaced aspens and evergreens in areas like Shadows and Closets offer an unforgettable, deep-powder glade experience.
