The term ‘Champagne Powder®’ was coined here, thanks to the abundant dry snow that falls on Steamboat’s quiet slopes. With a genuine all-round appeal, ski holidays in Steamboat suit all types, while the western atmosphere promises a great resort town experience.

With nearly 3,000 acres covering six peaks, the ski area sits entirely below the treeline. There’s a dedicated learners’ zone as well as rolling tree-lined groomers and steeper slopes on the back of the mountain. Steamboat also shares a lift pass with Winter Park, so it works well as a dual-resort holiday.

Free shuttles take you from the ski area to the town’s rustic bars, liquor stores, and cowboy shops. To really soak up the atmosphere, it’s worth taking an afternoon to visit the local hot springs, go horse riding, or simply browse the boutiques in your cowboy boots.

"Champagne Powder® and fantastic ski terrain, with a classic western town and incredibly friendly locals - Steamboat makes the perfect ski holiday."

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Steamboat.

Fantastic resort with a wide range of terrain. Great access from the base area with no queues

Lovely hotel with great facilities, just a stone's throw from the slopes. Got a little crowded at the bottom but there were rarely queues on the chair lifts. Decent restaurants at the resort but more choice in the town (free shuttle). Nuisance that we had to pay for parking...

We had great snow and weather, bit snow half way through holiday, powder. Ski area very good, not many mountain restaurants , bit busy but always seats available. Really only one way up mountain a.m but Gondola really fast, big queue only took 5-10 mins to get on. Queues at lifts, not often, very well organised took little time. Only downside was lack of bars at base of lift at end of the day. Two…

Steamboat Springs is a town with plenty to offer. The base area had enough bars, shops etc. One of our group had an injury, she went to the Medical Centre and was really well looked after. Steamboat had a nice relaxed feel bout it, everyone we met was delighted we had come all the way from Scotland to ski in Steamboat. We all agreed that as a resort, it was one that we would be happy to go back to…

How to Save Thousands on your North American Ski Holiday
Skiing in North America has an unjust reputation for being expensive based on high in-season prices for lift tickets and accommodation. But savvy skiers and snowboarders who book before December can save over £2,500pp on a 10 night holiday and can ski for as little as £32 per day. Ski Safari has run the numbers to find the biggest savings across North American resorts.
