Celebrate winter with the Champagne Powder™ of Steamboat Springs. From the first touch of your skis to the snow, you'll know you've arrived at the heart of Ski Town, USA©. Don't ski? Don't worry. A day's lesson at a ski school will have you schussing down the slopes in fine form. Ice-skating, snowmobiling, or a smile-inducing sleigh ride o'er the fields of snow are also great ways to experience the high country. As the snow melts, the high country opens up to four and even class five river rafting, as well as fly-fishing, mountain biking (many pro-caliber racers live here), hiking and more. There's so much to do that your sore muscles will appreciate a soak in the local hot springs that give the town its name.
