Steamboat, nicknamed “Ski Town USA” offers a large ski area, great off-the-slopes activities and a huge variety of terrain. Non-ski activities include a winter driving school, several ranches offering the cowboy experience, ballooning, dog sledding and hot spring swimming. The modern Steamboat ski development is three miles from the old cowboy town, which maintains a genuine feel whilst full to the brim with modern thriving shops (and a few old ones). In terms of apres-ski pricing this is a very high value resort, thanks to the competition between businesses.

Average annual snowfall: 886cm
