A little far to travel for day skiing for individuals living in Denver, but a great ski resort. Western Charm. Great slopes and special champaign snow...real fluffy type. I learned to ski here over twenty-years ago. You won't see jagged peaks but rounded mountains - nearby. You are here to ski and enjoy the Western Hospitality of the Town of Steamboat. Snow clings to Evergreen trees making it appear as a wonderland with blue skies and great skiing. Try ski jumping and nigh time ""tubing"" at near by establishments. A winter ski vacation to Steamboat is one for the memory books.
Pros: Champaign Snow, Western Feel
Cons: Scenery
