WELCOME TO STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Photo by Julie McNally

In 1947, the national press named Steamboat Springs

“Ski Town USA.” Still today, there’s no better place to take a winter vacation.

With an average annual snowfall of 350 inches per year, Steamboat enjoys some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the West. We pride ourselves not just on the beauty of the area, but the genuine friendliness and Western hospitality that make this a special place.

You can fly nonstop into the Yampa Valley Regional Airport, just 20 miles from town, from 11 cities. Choose from a variety of accommodations including hotel and motel lodging, condominiums or luxury private homes. You can even have a real Steamboat experience at one of our guest ranches just outside of town.

With 165 trails on 2,965 acres, you’ll enjoy the variety of terrain that makes the Steamboat Ski Resort so popular. And you can have a Colorado snowsports experience and breathe a little easier. Our base elevation of 6,900 feet means you’ll spend less time acclimating and more time enjoying.

There are a variety of other great winter experiences here, on and off the mountain. Take a guided snowmobile tour of the backcountry. Enjoy a sleigh ride dinner in a true winter wonderland. Lift off over the snowy Yampa Valley in a hot air balloon.

Try your hand at dog sledding. And when you’re done with these and many other activities, relax in one of the hot springs we’re famous for before heading out to dinner at one of our nationally recognized restaurants.

Year-round, Steamboat Springs hosts a gamut of events, including our world-famous Winter Carnival. See future Olympians participate in the century-old festival.

Stop by our Visitor Center and find out more about why this is Ski Town USA. Enjoy your visit.

Most surprising local tidbit you’ve heard over the years?

Most frequently asked question at the museum?

At one point during the sheep and cattle war years, if you even brought sheep into Routt County, you could be hanged.

Hands down: How did Steamboat Springs get its name? (From the Steamboat spring’s chugging sound, which distant trappers mistook for a steamboat.)

Best book to buy on local history?

“Shepherdess of the Elk River Valley,” from the diaries of Margaret Duncan Brown, is a personal and local favorite. Another great book is “The Historical Guide to Routt County” by Jim Stanko, Sureva Towler and Judy Seligson. It is published by the museum and is a go-to guide for any Routt County

How do you get started riding the halfpipe?

TORI KOSKI

Before riding the halfpipe, you should be comfortable linking turns and popping off both edges. The mini-pipe at the bottom of Little Rodeo is a great tool to start riding halfpipe.

Favorite trick?

I love big floaty back 360s on jumps, grabbing stale or mute.

Favorite board?

When did you start snowboarding?

both feet when taking off a jump. Then I take them to a small feature popping off a jump or making an ollie onto a rail. Before hitting a rail they start on a small ride-on box. Little Rodeo Terrain Park is a perfect learning area.

For the novice getting started, any tips for the first day on the hill?

Having the right equipment is everything. Head to Powder Tools Snowboard Shop for the best rentals and equipment in town.

Strawberry Park Hot Springs. After a long day on the hill, there’s nothing better than soaking in the warm springs.

Any local snowboarding competitions open to all?

Slash and Burn Banked Slalom at Howelsen Hill on Saturday-Sunday, Mar. 19-20. Entrants are all levels from Olympic medalists to moms, dads and kids, ages six to 60 plus.

Favorite trails on the mountain?

On an early powder day, Closet trees and the Ridge. My mom is still my number-one riding buddy on a powder day. She knows every tree line that hasn’t been touched and all I have to do is follow her.

Talk about terrain parks, where do you like to go?

I love taking laps in the Mavericks halfpipe. You can always find me there on a sunny day!

Before riders hit their first jump or rail, I always teach them the difference between an ollie and a pop. An ollie is a way of jumping up onto a rail for height, loading up to take off on the tail of the board. A pop is pushing off the snow on

Any clothing gear tips for kiddoes heading out for a day on the snow?

Think layers. A pair of high quality wool/ synthetic socks (no cotton) keeps feet warm and dry. Mittens over gloves – they keep fingers warmer and are easier to put on. Pack a neck gaiter and hand-warmers; they can be saviors on cold days. Plus sunscreen, always.

What advice would you give parents with never-evers?

Keep first experiences safe and above all else, fun. Start on flat terrain and stick

station. If they say they are tired, then most likely they are. It takes a lot of effort for their little bodies to ski down the mountain. Stop for a break, build a snowman or have a bite to eat.

How can parents help kids to improve post lessons?

Why Not, for beginners who know how to stop and turn. This run provides a ton of mileage for children to start putting all their skills together with lots of “whoopy-doos” on the side that challenge them. Rough Rider Basin is a great area to empower little skiers. They can keep taking the poma lift and ski on all kinds of terrain.

Tomahawk for the intermediate skier; they like going higher and being on top of the mountain, seeing the beautiful Northwest Colorado scenery.

Talk to the instructor afterwards. Ski the terrain that the child covered in the lesson, where they feel comfortable. You never want to over-terrain your child.

This can undo many things that were achieved in the lesson; stay safe and have fun. Your child may even teach you a thing or two.

Do you have any tips up your sleeve on how to avoid tantrums on the snow?

There are usually three main culprits for tantrums on the slope: a child is hungry, cold or tired. Carry snacks; I like Starburst, my “power pellets” and extra clothes like a neck gaiter and handwarmers. These extras may be enough to get you to the closest hot chocolate

Snowshoers and skiers are transported into their very own picture postcard. That’s the local consensus among those who relish the powdery terrain to be found on Buffalo Pass, located on County Road 38 north of Steamboat Springs. (A daily use permit is required; parking is severely limited). On Rabbit Ears Pass, un-groomed (with the exception of Bruce’s Trail, which is groomed in early winter), well-marked trails weave their way through pine forests laden with snow, or climb to vistas where breathtaking views sparkle beneath bluebird skies.

STEAMBOAT LAKE STATE PARK Beneath the iconic backdrop of Hahn’s Peak, snowshoe, skate or cross country ski over 15 km of groomed beginner and intermediate trails that encircle Steamboat Lake. The 26-mile drive out to the lake follows the beautiful Elk River, winding through some of Routt County’s most picturesque ranchland.

What should you wear Nordic skiing?

JESS ALDIGHIERI

Steamboat Springs native, Nordic skier and teacher Jess Aldighieri was raised on skis.

She lives with her husband, Bobby, a former Olympian and freestyle program director for Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.

Any tips to improve performance and speed for skate skiing?

Skiing in general is about balance, position and timing. If you can improve these basic skills, your efficiency will increase. As a result, you will gain ground on your performance and speed. Skate skiing is all about the application of power to the snow. Strengthening your technical ability will help accelerate your ability to apply power.

A lightweight long sleeve Smartwool top, tights or light long underwear bottoms, covered by lightweight Nordic ski pants and jacket. Well fitting gloves and boots will make the learning experience more enjoyable. A lightweight hat or neck buff will help trap body heat.

If you want to try Nordic skiing as a family for a day what do you advise?

Make an adventure out of it and carry a picnic or small snack in a backpack, because it’s quite physically demanding and you’ll need to refuel when you’re out there. A day of classic skiing can be great fun for everyone in the family.

Skate or classic, what should someone who has never tried any kind of Nordic skiing consider?

Depends on interest and physical ability.

Classic skiing is a good foundation for Nordic skiing and will help your skate skiing. Classic skiing is easier to learn, but difficult to become more efficient. Skate skiing is the opposite.

Best techniques to keep you upright on a downhill turn?

Most memorable day you’ve ever had Nordic skiing in Steamboat?

Wow, there have been so many, but skate skiing the Hogan Park trail on spring crust after Mount Werner was closed. The snow was fast and the sunrise was beautiful. After an adventurous descent on our skinny skis, we finished with a run in the mud on B.C. Ski Way with our backpacks and skate gear.

AILEEN SANDSTEDT

In classic Steamboat Springs fashion, Aileen Sandstedt has her foot in two worlds: horsemanship and real estate.

From this distinctive perspective, she provides local insight.

Besides horseback riding, what are your three favorite winter activities?

Skiing Storm Peak, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Pioneer Ridge is Steamboat's Local Lodging Company! We offer the greatest variety of lodging in Steamboat Springs, including the finest private home rentals, exclusive downtown lodging, and unique condominiums & townhouses. Pioneer Ridge can fill all your Steamboat lodging needs. For a luxury lodging experience check out our Platinum Collection.

What do you think are the not-tobe-missed winter events?

I’d recommend the Cowboy Downhill, the Winter Carnival and the New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade.

To ride in the Winter Carnival, do horseback riders require a certain skillset?

PRIVATE VACATION HOME RENTALS

They need to be able to control their mounts well and keep the horses focused on their job: pulling participants in various skiing activities without being distracted by the crowd. This takes great skill for both rider and horse; it’s a collaborative partnership.

Do you have a recommendation for eating out?

Carl’s Tavern is one of our favorites; owners Collin and Noella are hands-on and gracious hosts.

THREE PERFECT BACKCOUNTRY DAYS Steamboat Powdercats guide Luc Strickland came to Steamboat Springs nine years ago, swapping southern living in Alpharetta, Georgia, for mountain life. A University of Wyoming graduate, Luc spends his summers as a statewide river ranger with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and his winters navigating powder on Buffalo Pass.

DAY 1

DAY 2 Start the day off at a leisurely pace with breakfast at my favorite spot in town, Creekside Café. This will leave you fueled and ready for another day off the beaten path. Today it’s all about ice climbing, under the guidance of instructors at Rocky Mountain Ventures. When the spectacular 200-foot plus waterfall at Fish Creek freezes for winter, it morphs into a natural setting for ice climbing. Take a half- or full-day session and learn how to maneuver your ascent, ice pick in hand.

Finish up with a late afternoon soak at the Old Town Hot Springs or Strawberry Park Hot Springs, then return to the condo and eat in. Amuse Bouche personal chef service is a great stay-at-home option for a fully catered gourmet meal. Who wants to cook on vacation?

Larry Pierce

The true way to experience what Steamboat Springs has to offer is to get out and see beyond the city limits.

The best way to maximize a day of backcountry adventure is to go with the local professionals that call these places their “office.”

Without sounding biased, day one on my hit list has to be spent on Buffalo Pass with Steamboat Powdercats. Be prepared for a full day, starting with a light breakfast as you gear up for the day ahead.

The number of runs you’ll do varies day-to-day, but one thing’s for sure, you’ll be moving slowly the next day. Trips are suited to strong intermediate and advanced skiers/riders. Travelling by snowcat, you will venture deep into untouched backcountry terrain, stopping for lunch either in the snowcat or at our cabin in the woods.

We wrap up the day back at headquarters in town, reliving the experience with a slideshow from the trip. Once day one comes to an end and you’ve gotten all the powder skiing you can handle,

head for dinner and drinks at Mahogany Ridge. It has a wide selection of delicious entrees and craft beers.

Located 15-20 minutes north of town, the thermal pools at Strawberry Park Hot Springs make for a relaxing end to a day spent working muscles on the snow. Access is via four-wheel-drive vehicle, chained-up vehicle or commercial shuttle.

VG 24 | ONLINE AT WWW.STEAMBOATCHAMBER.COM

Our shuttle for the final day will come early so a quick run to Lil’ House for country biscuits and coffee will hit the spot. Today we’ll be letting someone else do the hard work and heading out for a dog sled tour. It’s a perfect way to access the breathtaking backcountry surrounding Steamboat. It’s also a great option for the whole family. Opt for a fully guided experience or drive-your-own-team on Dunckley Pass in the Little Flat Tops or explore ranchlands of the south valley. Trips are offered as three-hour, full-day and dinner tours. Being originally from Georgia, I find it hard to pass up BBQ for dinner, so it’s off to one of my favorite spots in town: the Steamboat Smokehouse.

Powdercats guide Luc Strickland spends most days navigating untouched terrain on Buffalo Pass, where clients travel by snowcat to reach vast backcountry powder stashes.

Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. He was so cool. His on-stage presence is really funny; he acts like he’s timid and afraid but it’s really endearing. His music is definitely not shy. He had 14 other musicians on stage with him. It made me realize Strings brings in great people to perform.

Must-try local dish?

The elk tenderloin at Café Diva is to die for. It’s one of the things they don’t ever take off their menu.

Any advice on what to wear for a night out in Steamboat?

Always bring layers, but it’s nice because you don’t have to get dressed up. Wear what you’re comfortable in. Steamboat is all about come-as-you-are.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE JOHN WALDMAN

Family in tow, where can you go to catch some vibes?

Chicago native John Waldman has spent the last 30 years living in Steamboat Springs, staging and promoting concerts around the West. He lives with his wife, Jill, daughters Jolie and Kali and the family dog, Luna.

So many great options: Bud Light Rocks the Boat Series in Gondola Plaza, or the Chief Theater and Strings Music Pavilion for a more intimate experience.

What type of music can you expect to hear around the ‘Boat?

Almost anything from classical to bluegrass. Steamboat has an amazing

Which concert that you staged will always stick in your mind?

Best place to see live music here in Steamboat?

The free concert series, Bud Light Rocks the Boat, is great for families.

Jolie, Jill, John and Kali Waldman take Luna for a stroll along the Yampa River Core Trail.

variety of music for any genre. People come for the skiing and stay for the music!

Is there anywhere to go dancing?

My living room. Otherwise, Schmiggity’s, Old Town Pub or the Tap House all present a lot of live bands and DJs.

Hard to pick just one as I’ve done so many throughout the West over the past 30 years.

Greg Allman Band at the Sheraton Grand Ballroom around 1987, Mick Fleetwood’s Zoo featuring Stevie Nicks at the Old Town Pub in 1988 and Ziggy Marley as part of the Free Summer Concert Series this past summer at Howelsen Hill.

Romantic night out, where should you head?

We like Harwigs, and Café Diva for a romantic dinner. A sleigh ride also makes for a special night out.

John Waldman runs Great Knight Productions, a concert promotion, music artist and management agency.

Of course chances of you actually catching something in our premier trout streams and the gold medal waters of Steamboat Lake are quite good. But on the off chance the fish aren’t biting, the amazing views and the beautiful settings will almost make up for it. Almost.

Favorite local outdoor area in winter?

It would have to be at the Steamboat Ski Area by Four Points for the spectacular views of our gorgeous valley.

healthcare

ELEVATED

Quality Care Close to Home

Top three winter hobbies?

Certainly skiing at the Steamboat Ski Area is number one, after a childhood traversing the slopes in Utah. Snowshoeing holds a close second, most particularly up Spring Creek. The exercise it affords is awesome and the beauty of the area is breathtaking.

Third? Well, I’m going to vote for sitting in my hot tub with a dirty martini!

Favorite place to grab a bite on a cold winter day?

I love a great cup of hot soup on a cold day. The soup selections at Freshies are mouthwatering, and you can grab a great wrap to accompany them. I highly recommend the chicken tortilla soup.

What are the benefits of viewing real estate properties in the winter?

You know, viewing property in the wintertime can be an awesome experience, particularly around the holidays.

Homeowners typically have their houses decorated beautifully, and buyers have the opportunity to see what it’s really like to live in snow country. Of course, proper clothing is paramount; slip-on boots are a must.

Most of the lodging facilities available through Steamboat Central Reservations have been assigned quality ratings by an independent rating service. Properties are first placed in price categories of Premium ($$$$), Expensive ($$$), Moderate ($$) or Economy ($) based on regular season rates. A random sample of units/rooms from each property is then inspected and assigned a quality rating designation of Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G) or Fair (F). Properties that are not part of Steamboat Central Reservations are not rated. The rating designation assigned represents the overall quality of the furnishings, materials and maintenance. Properties are compared to one another within the same price categories. Standards of quality are Steamboat-based, although national standards are taken into consideration in order to form a baseline. Conditions of the property may have changed since the time of inspection.

OUTDOORS GUIDE Cross Country Ski & Snowshoe Routes ■ 1A West Summit Loop A

3.7 miles (loop from trailhead)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak, Blacktail Mountain quads Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 13 miles to the West Summit parking area on Rabbit Ears Pass.

Route description: Begin on the north side of the road. Skiing the route in a clockwise direction is less difficult, with gentler climbs and steeper descents through open and wooded areas. Views of the Yampa Valley and the Flat Tops are spectacular. The West Summit loops and surrounding terrain are the most popular skiing areas in the Hahn’s Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District.

◆ 1B West Summit Loop B

3.6 miles/5.4 miles (loop from trailhead)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: This route is reached by skiing counter-clockwise on 1A. Ski past the first junction with 1B and climb to the top of the ridge. At the second junction, on the ridgetop, ski 1B to the east. This route is best skied in a clockwise direction.

Route description: This route has several steep ascents and descents through heavy timber and open meadows.

◆ 1C South Summit Loop

3 miles

USGS map: Walton Peak Access: This route begins at the West Summit parking area. Park on the south side of the highway.

Route description: Travel counter-clockwise for the best downhill runs. The route begins by following an old road. Woods, open meadows and some steep descents are encountered. This route connects with route 3B midway around the loop. Past this junction, the route follows the telephone lines and old highway, paralleling U.S. 40. The final portion follows the meadow edge back to the West Summit, then retraces the first segment of old road.

■ 1D Bruce’s Trail

3.1 miles

USGS map: Mount Werner Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 14 miles to the parking area on the north side of the highway. A short spur connects the parking lot to the main trail.

Route description: Designed wide to accommodate both skating and traditional skiing techniques. The trail is machine-groomed in the early ski season. Note that dogs are not permitted when the trail is groomed. The upper loop provides easy skiing, while the lower loop has a moderate difficulty rating. The tight loop design and proximity to the highway make this trail a good choice for a ski workout, a short day, or for skiers wishing to remain relatively close to their vehicles.

◆◆ 2A Hogan Park Route

13 miles round trip

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Peak parking area. One way, 6.5 miles to the bottom of Morningside Lift.

Route description: This route is recommended for experts only. If you plan to descend Mount Werner through the Steamboat Ski Area, safety straps are required.

Begin on the north side of the highway just west of the large cut bank. The route crosses large open meadows and many streams. Steep ascents and descents will be encountered. During heavy snowfall or whiteout conditions, the route is very difficult to follow across the large meadows. Carry emergency/survival gear. If Morningside lift is not operating, climb 1 mile to top of lift, then descend 3 miles to ski area base.

■ 2B Fox Curve Loop

3.6 miles

USGS map: Mount Werner Access: Travel approximately 17 miles east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 to the Fox Curve parking area. The parking area is on the north side of highway.

Route description: This route has varied terrain including steep ascents and descents. Use caution when crossing Walton Creek.

◆ 3A Walton Creek Loop

1.9 miles

USGS map: Mount Werner Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Creek parking area on Rabbit Ears Pass. The parking area is on the south side of the highway.

Route description: Begin at the knoll south of the parking lot and follow the powerline a short distance to the west. Turn south across Walton Creek and through Walton Creek Campground. The junction of route 3B is reached in the meadow south of the campground. Past this junction, the route makes a steep ascent over a ridge and down an open slope to Walton Creek and the junction of route 3C. Follow Walton Creek back to the parking area.

◆◆ 3B Par-A-Lell Route

4.2 miles (one-way from 1A to 3A)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: This route can be accessed from route 1C, beginning at the West Summit parking area on the south side of the highway, or from route 3A, beginning at the Walton Creek parking area.

Route description: This route connects routes 1C and 3A. Skiing it west to east provides more exciting downhill runs; skiing east to west involves more climbing, though much of it is gentle. Starting at the junction of 1C and 3B (west end), the route goes up a gentle slope and drops into a stream valley. Use caution when crossing streams and beaver ponds on this route as they may be only partially frozen. Heavy timber and open meadows.

■ 3C North Walton Peak Route

3.25 miles (one-way)/6.5 miles (loop from trailhead)

USGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Creek parking area.

Route description: This is the most popular route for telemarking. Begin at the knoll to the south of the parking area and head southeast and downhill through the trees following route 3A. Approximately 1/2 mile from the parking area is the junction of 3A and 3C. The route crosses Walton Creek and travels through wooded areas and open meadows. It connects to Forest Road 302 and follows it to the top of North Walton Peak. Opportunities for steep runs exist on the slopes of this peak.

REASONS TO RETURN

As we say around here: “We came for winter and stayed for summer.”

Here are 10 reasons to make it back once the snow melts.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Walk among wildflowers for days on end.

Catch rainbow trout in babbling mountain streams.

Float the Yampa River in an inner tube.

Take a gondola ride and kick back with a picnic at the top, or get your adrenaline pumping by riding a bike back downhill.

Cheer on cowboys at the rodeo.

Bike on Emerald Mountain without riding the same trail twice.

Ride a horse through aspen groves, listening to leaves gently quaking in the breeze.

8

Hop between the cool creek and toasty thermal pools at Strawberry Park Hot Springs.

9 10

Soar over the valley floor during Balloon Rodeo weekend.

Every weekend, take in a new festival, covering interests from arts and music to sports and cars.

A walk in the wildflowers on Buffalo Pass pleases Groucho and his owner Eric Deering on a sunny summer’s day.

For a truly memorable night out, enjoy these premier dining experiences.

A snowcat featuring a fully enclosed climate-controlled cabin takes you on a magical journey to the Four Points Lodge. This special mountaintop culinary experience is rooted in the flavors and traditions of Northern Italy offering a sophisticated evening tucked warmly inside the cozy lodge under a sky filled with stars.

A nighttime ride up the gondola tells you this is not going to be an ordinary night out. And Hazie’s is anything but ordinary. An exceptional wine list, stunning views of the Yampa Valley below, and a dazzling menu of New American cuisine are all yours at Hazie’s.

For the perfect family night out, try our original Western Style BBQ Buffet at the top of the Steamboat Gondola. Enjoy a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet with a live western rock dance band and a fun family setting looking out over the lights of the valley below.

Dining at Ragnar’s begins with a nighttime ride in the Steamboat Gondola, followed by a snowcat driven sleigh ride under the stars and across the mountain to the warm, inviting restaurant. Enjoy a gourmet dinner and live acoustic entertainment.

Dash through the snow as a pair of majestic draft horses pulls a sleigh around the Yampa Valley’s rolling hills before settling down to a delicious three-course dinner with all the trimmings. Enjoy drinks and appetizers prior to your sleigh ride, then upon your return dine on a menu of prime beef, free range chicken or seafood.
