Steamboat Ski Area, Steamboat Springs Colorado
|
Located in northwestern Colorado, this is the
land where cowboy country meets ski country – Ski Town, USA
®, our own Steamboat Springs Colorado. Here, kids ski free
while everybody loves the generous snowfall (an average of
330 inches a year) and truly legendary tree skiing.
From
family geared vacations (ranked the #1 Family Ski Resort
in the West for the fifth year running by SKI Magazine)
to environmentally conscious design and operation (our three
solar/wind operated chairlifts combine to prevent the
release of almost 900,000 pounds of carbon dioxide
annually), our resort is the perfect destination for your
vacation. Having poured $23 million into on-mountain
improvements in the last two years, Steamboat Springs has
rightfully earned its position in the top ten North American
Ski Resorts.
