The arrival of winter brings a new and equally enticing variety of outdoor activities. An unsurpassed combination of natural beauty, endless fall-line skiing, and Steamboat's authentic Western ambiance combine to make Steamboat a winter wonderland.

Nearly 3,000 skiable acres blanketed by Colorado's vintage champagne powder, an exhilarating 3,670-foot vertical drop, an extensive lift system, meticulous grooming, and the friendliest resort employees found anywhere, have placed Steamboat skiing among the world's elite. In fact, SKI, Skiing and Snow Country magazines have all rated Steamboat among North America's very best ski resorts!

In addition to downhill skiing, visitors to Steamboat can enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, powder-cat skiing, sledding, tubing, or take a horse-drawn sleigh ride. And, of course, the superb choices for dining and shopping continue year-round. During the winter months, Steamboat plays host to several festivals including the Annual Cowboy Downhill and the week-long festivities of Winter Carnival.

Steamboat is alive with festivals, concerts, theater, art exhibits, and much more. Please visit the Steamboat Chamber of Commerce for more information regarding summer and winter activities in Steamboat Springs.
