10 Ski & Snow Tours in Steamboat Springs That You Shouldn't Miss

April 7, 2022 Karren Gelb

A ski town that is also an authentic ranching center, Steamboat Springs is more down home than glitzy. Cowboy hats and ski boots are equally welcome on the city's friendly streets. The place where downhill skiing first flourished in the United States, Steamboat Springs remains a premiere slopes destination. But the town also offers outdoor recreation of every stripe and season. And after a long day hiking, schussing or shopping, you can relax in one of the natural hot springs for which the town was named.

A group of about 10 of us booked a 4 hour snowmobile tour, and we had an absolute blast!!! Our tour guide Brian was great, friendly, funny, and made us all feel safe. We got to ride on trails and also in open meadow areas which allowed us to practice our turns without fear. He also took us to some nice outlook areas where the views were beautiful and we all took pictures. The pricing is very fair, the booking process was simple, and the entire day was extremely fun! 10/10 recommend

Our pristine (groomed) trail snakes through Colorado’s mountainous ranch country traversing over ridgelines, through canyons, open meadows, and everything in-between.

This is a wonderful experience. Learning to drive the sleds is so much fun and a unique experience. The countryside was over the top. The dogs love what they do and are so sweet. Everyone who works there is warm and friendly and extremely professional. Highly recommend. Do not even think twice about it. Go!

My group went on the 2-hour Beginner Action Tour and we had a blast. Our tour guide, Kevin, was the best tour guide I’ve ever had, and the tour itself was incredible. Great views, just enough excitement for get your adrenaline going, and long enough to get a feel for snowmobiling, but not too long to where you’re ready to just get the heck off. The HCT staff as a whole was extremely nice and super accommodating for all of our needs.
