There's always something
to do in Steamboat Springs!
There are several things you can
count on when you vacation in Steamboat: rich western heritage, small
town hospitality, and snow, lots of it.


With an average of nearly 30
feet of snowfall every season, you can expect to relish in many satisfying
powder days. But it’s not just any snow here in Steamboat, we have the
driest and fluffiest snow in the world. It’s so different, we coined the
phrase Champagne Powder®. In fact, meteorologists have measured Steamboat’s
Champagne Powder® as having 70% less moisture content than average snow. If
you have a hard time believing it, visit us in Steamboat and get a taste for
yourself.
Gladed areas of Sunshine and Storm Peaks
are Steamboat's particular claim to fame, with Champagne Powder® snow in the
trees for the most avid powder hounds.

The region is famous for its
mineral hot springs, particularly
the natural setting of the Strawberry
Park Hot Springs located
seven miles outside of town. The best way to relax after a long day of
hiking, skiing or riding is to soak
in the natural, mineral hot springs that spew from the Steamboat hillsides
at temperatures of approximately
150 degrees Fahrenheit, and flow down into beautiful soaking pools.

There are also hot
springs located
downtown at the Steamboat Health and Recreation, which provides three hot
pools for relaxing and swimming
laps, all of which are naturally heated.
Steamboat
is also home to many wonderful and relaxing day spas. Take some time
for yourself and enjoy a massage, facial or a whole new look!
