Steamboat Springs, Colorado: one of the largest resorts in the world. Steamboat is known for its wide variety of terrain for beginners to the extreme. Steamboat has excellent bowls, cruisers, bumps, wide opens, and legendary tree skiing/boarding. Better yet, over 300 inches per year of "champagne powder" snow! Plus, Steamboat is home to the largest super halfpipe in North America.

You've skied all over the world and you could live anywhere you wanted, would you pick your second favorite place? Neither did any of Steamboats 69 (and counting) winter Olympians. A true and real testimony to the magnitude of this world class resort.

This resort is huge (over 2,900 acres) with plenty of a variety of skiing and boarding for every level. With a lift capacity of over 30,000 skiers, you don't wait in line. And when the sun sets (and before) there are tons of parties and activities all located near the mountain base.
