Steamboat Springs is located at 185km northwest
of Denver. It has an authentic Western feel, even as it hosts
many visitors, most of whom come for the skiing. The secret to
the town's appeal for skiers is its ability to blend world-class
downhill conditions with small-town warmth and charm. It also
helps that it's blessed with more than 300in of snow a year. It
has 142 trails and 1,190 hectares of skiable terrain. While
long, groomed trails are plentiful, the distinguishing feature
of Steamboat is some of the best tree skiing in the world.
