Steamboat is known for its abundant snowfalls and world class skiing and riding, but there's so much more to do- let us fill you in on our top 5 picks for winter fun.
1. Skiing and Snowboarding
This one is a no-brainer. Legendary Champagne powder and miles or groomed terrain - Steamboat Ski Resort has skiing and riding for every age and ability. Can't get enough? Try night skiing for a one of a kind experience under the stars.
2. Cross Country Skiing/Snowshoeing
Ready to glide your way around our Winter Wonderland? Many Steamboat locations offer groomed cross country ski trails. Wind through the aspen groves and along beautiful Fish Creek, or zoom across the open fields under a bluebird sky - one of the most enjoyable and accessible wintertime recreation area in the Yampa Valley. (plus- you get warmer instead of colder!) Prefer to walk on snowshoes? All of the nordic centers and the ski resort offer rentals and plenty of trails!
3. Hot Springs Soaking
Coming to Steamboat and not enjoying the hot springs is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. Long before Steamboat Springs was a ski town, visitors came from miles around to relax and recover in our natural hot springs. Our medicinal hot springs are legendary for reviving tired muscles and melting worries away. While there are over 150 Steamboat Springs hot springs in the area, including the namesake spring that used to sound like a steamboat chugging up the river, there are a few places where you can soak and soothe after an active day in Steamboat - Strawberry Park Hot Springs, Old Town Hot Springs and the "Hippy" Hot Springs, on the banks of the Yampa River.
4. Snowmobiling
There’s more than one way to dash through the snow in Steamboat and snowmobiling is always a favorite off-mountain activity. Thousands of acres, groomed trails, tree-lined meadows and open space offer plenty of room for high-powered playtime. Numerous options for all ages and abilities.
5. Sleigh Ride Dinners
A one-of-a-kind Colorado experience, a sleigh ride dinner is a must for your family vacation in Steamboat. Enjoy an evening ride wrapped in a blanket, listening to the jingle of a horse-drawn sleigh, the crisp mountain air, and beautiful mountain views. Leave the cooking to the pros for a top notch dinner you deserve after a long day of Steamboat winter activities.
