Steamboat Springs is one of Colorado's premier destinations for world-class skiing and year-round entertainment for the whole family. During the winter, Steamboat provides skiing and snowboard terrain for all levels. While in Steamboat, chances are that you will get to see one of our many Olympians practicing or competing in Nordic events at Howleson Hill or Freestyle Events on Mt. Werner. Known as "Ski Town USA" Steamboat is home to more Olympians (56 and counting) than any other town in the United States. You can also enjoy snowshoeing or cross country skiing on Rabbit Ears Pass. Take a snowmobile tour or dogsled ride through the backcountry. View Steamboat from the sky in a hot air balloon. Or relax your muscles in the natural hot springs of Strawberry Park. In the evening take a sleigh ride to dinner on the mountain or to a quaint country inn.
Restaurants:
Enjoy your favorite drink in front of the fireplace in 3 Saddles Bar and Grill. Serving appetizers and late night sandwiches, we also boast one of the best decks in Steamboat. Bear River Bar and Grill knows how to keep our visitors entertained year-round. During the winter, we'll dazzle our skiers with everything from karaoke to comedy. When the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising, we offer a daily BBQ on our deck. There are also many wonderful restaurants in the Steamboat Ski area and downtown.
