Steamboat Springs is a unique blend of small-town friendliness, breathtaking mountain scenery, and a Western heritage that thrives in the valley’s wide-open spaces. Ranching continues to make an important contribution to the economy, though tourism and skiing lead the way. The slopes of Mt. Werner, home to the world-class Steamboat Ski Area, are blessed with a snow so light and dry that it’s referred to as champagne powder. Steamboat’s nickname, “Ski Town, USA” proudly refers to the fact that the town has sent more athletes to the Winter Olympics than any other community in the nation. Our Winter Carnival, the oldest celebration of its kind west of the Mississippi, is centered on ski jumping, Nordic and Alpine ski racing, and skijoring – a “Wild West’ spectacle that features galloping quarter horses pulling children on skis down the main street of town. Although many travelers fall in love with Steamboat Springs because of the skiing and snowboarding, most locals stay because of the summers. Steamboat Springs offers a variety of cultural activities and recreational amenities, from ballet dancing at the historic Perry-Mansfield Camp to bull riding at the Romick Rodeo Arena. Audiences enjoy community theatre performances and Strings in the Mountains concerts featuring classical music as well as the sound of jazz, bluegrass, country and pop. Mountain biking, softball, hiking, camping, fishing, tubing, kayaking, tennis, horseback riding and golfing are just a few of the activities that keep the community active and healthy. With a population of approximately 10,000, Steamboat Springs is a family-oriented community that prides itself on providing excellent education through its public education system and several private schools. It’s a great place to hang your cowboy hat, golf visor or bike helmet.
