Steamboat Springs (Colorado):
At seven thousand feet in North-central Colorado, 160 miles northwest of Denver, sits a more than century old quiet ranching community where modern skier meets the Old West. Breaking away from the fast-paced resorts that dominate the heart of ski country, Steamboat Springs, Colorado enjoys a humble, warm-hearted atmosphere, yet one that has turned out more Olympians to this day – 54 and counting, including 2002 silver medallist, Travis Mayer.
Unlike the days of old, Steamboat Springs, Colorado offers all the latest grooming equipment along with cutting edge chair lift technology and rental ski equipment. And there's plenty of ski in ski out lodging, charming boutiques, restaurants and nightclubs to round off the day on the slopes. If you're not sure how to spend your evening, try the new “Nightlife Trail Map" for ideas galore. And if by day you tire of skiing and want to try something else, there is ice-skating, snowshoeing, tubing for the kids. And the off-ski season is just as much fun with all the golfing, rodeo, tennis, and more the area has to offer!
With its nearly 3,000 acres of ski-worthy terrain, 3,668 vertical feet (the second highest in Colorado!), 5 peaks and over 65 miles of premium trails, Steamboat Springs, Colorado offers the best for everyone. And for the avid snowboarder there's the world famous Maverick's Superpipe - North America's longest run.

Steamboat is actually a complete mountain range: Mount Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak, Thunderhead Peak, Pioneer Ridge® and Christie Peak. 2,965 acres (1200 hectares) of permitted terrain offer a diversity of trails for all levels of ability. Mavericks Superpipe is a freerider's dream. Mavericks is 500 feet long, 56-feet wide and has 18-foot walls, and a 22-foot transition. Steamboat's terrain park adjacent to Mavericks features an outdoor sound system, a variety of rails; kinked, sliders, rainbows, "s" mailboxes, double barrel, and Mini-Mav, a miniture version of the superpipe with eight-foot walls, perfect for novice riders. Gladed areas of Pioneer Ridge, Sunshine and Storm Peak are Steamboat's particular claim to fame, with legendary Champagne Powder snow in the trees for the most avid powder hounds.
