Steamboat Springs was settled over 100 years ago by pioneering cattlemen and is today the ultimate cowboy ski town, full of western hospitality. Here on one of North America's biggest ski mountains, you can ski every type of terrain imaginable from wide open cruisers to bump runs to Steamboat's legendary tree skiing.
The combination of low humidity, high altitude, and Rocky Mountain sunshine creates that special snow known to all who have skied it as "champagne power".
With excellent access through Hayden, Steamboat's regional airport, the "Kids Ski Free" program, "Kids Night Out" and excellent ski school programs, you'll find it easier than ever to enjoy Steamboat with your family.

Mavericks Superpipe, the longest on the continent, is a freerider's dream. Mavericks is 650 feet long, 50-feet wide, has 15 foot walls, and a 17 foot radius. Steamboat's SoBe 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 miniature version of the superpipe with five-foot walls, perfect for novice riders. Gladed areas of Pioneer Ridge, Sunshine and Storm Peak are Steamboat's particular claim to fame, with Champagne Powder snow in the trees for the most avid powder hounds.
