It is Colorado’s oldest continuously operated ski area, since 1915, and has the largest and most complete natural ski jumping complex in North America.  It has sent more skiers to international competition than any other area in North America.

And even more importantly, it has been the place sharing the love of snow for generations.  And it is open for you to enjoy, even Sundays are free!

There is also tubing, Nordic skiing and fat tire bike trails. Nordic Skiing is $22.00 per day.

Ski & Snowboard Rentals

To rent or not to rent.  For first time skiers, we definitely recommend renting.  Each region has different snow conditions and each day as well!  So, for the best learning experience, renting is easier. There are rental shops located in Steamboat Springs. Shops vary in pricing and services, such as overnight storage and delivery.

Airlines typically consider skis (or snowboards) as one piece of luggage and may be subject to fees.  Typically boots are not counted as additional luggage if they are bagged with your skis.

For everyone else, you decide if it is worth the extra cost and hassle of traveling with your ski gear.  Love your boots?  I totally understand.  Ski and poles only (or deck only) options are available at all of the rental locations.

Ski School

The Steamboat Ski School has talented Pros who are able to work you whether you are a seasoned skier looking to hone your skills, or a newbie fresh off the beach trying skiing or snowboarding for the first time.
