What to do and see in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (CO): The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
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.

50 minute drive from Steamboat; park and hike to Lake Gilpen. Expect 5-6 hours round trip but well worth the experience! There are many other trails connected and nearby.

I visited here with my daughter (then 12 years old) more than 15 years ago, and she still remembers the yummy pastries and the wonderful book selection. We went back again this week (together) and it really hasn’t changed much at all. Be sure to visit the used book section upstairs - lots of best-sellers and classics at bargain prices. Interestingly, we were there during the start of the coronavirus outbreak, and the bookstore asked all patrons to wash their hands in the restroom before handling any merchandise, I appreciated that extra care.

Great experience. Maureen was a great instructor for a first timer like my wife, and equally helpful for a more intermediate shooter such as my self. We’ll be back for sure.

As a local, I feel so lucky to have this great facility staffed with very friendly people. I take regular drills with Sean Pummil, who is a great instructor. His wife Marcy is also excellent. Keep coming! We will have a special new building for Pickleball soon, so keep checking us out!

These guys are great. I demo'd a pair of skis that I ended up buying. The whole process was seamless and everyone took great care in getting it done. A boot fitter was also able to make some adjustments to my boot. Great team.

Was in Steamboat on a guys weekend ski trip. Hadn't skied in over 30 years, staff was super friendly, helpful and FUN! None of that I'm cooler than you judgement stuff. Online ordering was simple (and saved me a bunch of $$). Definitely the place to pick up skis, and the fact you can return them on the mountain or in the village is awesome. Thanks a ton, Christie Sports! I'll be back for sure!
