What to do and see in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (CO): The Best Ski & Snowboard Areas
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.

Snowcat skiing with Steamboat Powdercats is a unique experience, one that may reward you with the best day of skiing in your life. Though Mother Nature holds the cards to how powder rich your day will be, Steamboat Powdercats has put together a system with friendly guides, cats and infrastructure that should provide you with an excellent day in the Steamboat backcountry. 3 Heated snowcats allow Steamboat Powdercats to group guests by skiing ability so everyone is at their comfortable level. Located on Buffalo Pass, the terrain is conveniently just 20-min from downtown Steamboat Springs, so guests are typically cat skiing by 9:15 am. The skiing terrain is matched to the ability level of the group so it's very important to be honest with us when placing you and your group into our cats. All inclusive tours include everything you'll need for a day in the backcountry, plus photos are included!

From the moment I walked in the door until the last minute when I left the building, this was a good medal experience. We had 14 runs on a bluebird day with no snow in the past 4 days - yet somehow our fantastic guides found us fresh lines each time. The setting was gorgeous, the meals top notch, and the skiing - PHENOMENAL!! Thank you for an amazing experience!

By far my best ski experience in the U.S. SUPER friendly and helpful staff. Not crowded at all. New gondola is fabulous. Groomed runs exceptional. As a solid intermediate skier I had a wonderful experience.

We put our 5 year old daughter in ski school for 1 day and she’s begging to go back for more! We plan on doing at least one more day before our vacation is over. She loved her instructor, Izzy and learned more than we anticipated. We are flat-lander, Florida natives, and this was her first time in snow. We weren’t expecting much. Expectations exceeded!

Got to do a meet and greet with Todd Lodwick who gave us a great historical overview of Howelsen Hill and how things evolved in Steamboat for ski jumping in the early 1900's. Not to be missed if you have a chance to stop by and listen in on the history and his Olympic years! Great Stuff!!!

8. Outlaw Mountain Coaster

Reviewed By Bima01 - Hoover, United States
Very impressive coaster. $20 a ride. You can control your speed, but it flys if you want and was deliciously terrifying. Buy your ticket at the gondola ticket window. Cars Can hold 2, but if the second is not a child it would be tight.
