Steamboat, Colorado, USA
Known as the home of “Champagne Powder” and ‘Ski Town USA’, Steamboat has much to live up to. Live up to it it does. Steamboat boasts some of the best gladed powder skiing in the country. Glide between the aspen trees and be amazed at how easy it is to make turns in knee deep snow – remember that whilst you are marveling at the surreal sensation to avoid the next tree trunk!
Steamboat ski resort is actually a mini range of mountains all in its self. Comprising 2965 acres of fantastic skiing and snowboarding for all abilities, Steamboat is situated in that sweet spot of being just far enough from Denver to benefit from being a destination resort. Basically this means that it is not part of the ‘weekend warrior’ migration from Denver and the front range.
