With miles of runs to ski, Steamboat Springs Colorado has world class skiing in a charming western town setting alive year round with outdoor adventures such as mountain biking, and stunning trails to hike and camp.

1. Plan your Season

Each season of Steamboat Springs brings different festivals and activities.  Are you a skier? Are you a hiker?  Do you love to camp?  In Steamboat Springs, the winter season focuses on snow sports.  At an altitude of 6,732′ above sea level and an average snow fall of 184″, there aren’t any days during the winter without snow on the ground.  But come late spring, the rivers are running with snow melt, the humming birds are heard around town and the trails become colored with wildflowers.  Camping, fishing, hiking and biking are some of the choices for activities.  And come fall, the turn of the aspens, light the forest ablaze with the quaking of their golden yellow leaves.

2. Choose a location

There are several choices of location when it comes to planning your Steamboat Springs vacation.

Historic Downtown Steamboat Springs Downtown Steamboat Springs is centered around the Main Street. It is the heart of the community and one of the oldest parts of town. Away from the tourist-heavy Mountain area with its ski lifts and lodges, Downtown is popular with locals and a more affordable option for visitors.

Walton Creek This area is great for families and for those who want a more local experience. This area is south of the ski resort (Gondola Square) area, and is quieter and more residential.

Gondola Square a.k.a The Mountain This area is a few miles away from Downtown Steamboat Springs and is centered around the the resort area of town.

4. Book your lodging

Next decision is the type of lodging you need and want.  There are several options to consider.  Would you prefer a condo and have the option to cook at home?  Or do you love the luxury and ease of a hotel?
