Located in the Colorado Rockies, Steamboat Ski Resort is one of North America's largest ski mountains. With 143 trails, 3,600 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 skiable acres, Steamboat provides a variety of terrain for every level of skier. The trail classification is 13% beginner, 56% more difficult and 31% advanced/expert. There are definitely runs for every skier.
Steamboat is a complete mountain range with Mt. Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak, Thunderhead Peak, Christie Peak and Pioneer Ridge. Steamboats six peaks are filled with groomed cruisers, bumps, steep, open meadows and legendary tree skiing. The phrase "champagne powder snow" was coined at Steamboat.
During the 2004-05 season, Steamboat invested over $1 million improving their chairlifts. Their uphill capacity is over 32,000 skiers per hour. They have a total of 20 lifts including an 8 passenger gondola and high speed quads.
