Things to do in Steamboat Springs

Steamboat Springs is a ranching town turned ski resort in the Yampa Valley of northwest Colorado, and it has kept more of its Western roots than many mountain resorts. Steamboat Resort is known for its light, dry snow, trademarked as Champagne Powder, and for its long tradition of producing Olympic skiers, many of whom trained at Howelsen Hill, the oldest continuously operating ski area in Colorado. Tourism, ranching, real estate and a growing remote-work population shape the local economy.
