Steamboat Customer Reviews

We just loved Steamboat. Getting around on the free shuttle service was really easy and the drivers couldn't help you enough. On the mountain the lift queues are so well managed and friendly that any queues are quickly dispersed. The runs are fabulous and very well looked after, mountain ambassadors will take you on free ski tours to help you find your way round when you first get there. I did the ladies ski clinic and it was an excellent 4 hours focused tuition in a group of only me and 2 other similar ability ladies. Ski school has a policy of a maximum 5 students per group and is very well run. Steamboat Town is a great little cowboy town with lots of unusual shops.

Not long returned from Steamboat, short of snow first week but the company and weather made up for that. Second week saw plenty of snow to keep the group happy. Stayed in studio apartments in the Steamboat Grand, breckfast inc, not a bad word to be heard from anyone! Excellent Free bus service running every 10 mins into town plus the use of hotel shuttle, ski/boot stowage close to lifts made getting on and off the hill easy. Another year with ski safari thanks to James and Team look forwards to the next one

A beautiful resort. A great place for families (probably one of the best places for families I have ever been to and I have visited many resorts). Getting downtown is really easy with the free shuttle services so there is no need for your own transport. The town is a bit touristy but still a working town and worth visiting. The mountain restaurants are quite pricey but it is much cheaper (and in my opinion better) to eat at the base of the main slope (Slopeside or Ptarmigan Inn). My nine year old had a great time skiing with the excellent ski school and my wife (non-skier) had a good time in the town. When there is not the usual vast amount of snow I'd highly recommend staying to the main pistes.

Just back from a Xmas stay at Steamboat. A great, friendly resort! The distance from Denver (about a 3 1/2 hr drive) was not a problem for us with the transfers (arranged by Ski Safari) easy. The snow during our early season stay was fairly average particularly in comparison with recent seasons we understand - however, they make every effort to make snow and keep the slopes in fantastic condition so we still enjoyed our skiing thoroughly. It did snow hard on one day of our trip which made the skiing for two of the days really great and we understood why their champagne powder is so famous! Our son (6), who joined the Jackalopes programme, enjoyed ski school thoroughly with a fantastic instructor and a real emphasis on enjoyment. The local restaurants are good and the service throughout the resort and downtown was excellent as you come to expect in the US. There are numerous activities outside skiing that one can enjoy and we particularly enjoyed our visit to the hot springs half an hour'd drive out of town. We'd recommend Steamboat thoroughly and particularly to families.
