Making the Mountains Your Home


The natural beauty of the Steamboat area is something to be enjoyed by every visitor and resident.
...
Congratulations! If you're moving or buying a second home in the Steamboat Springs area or considering it, you've found a great community to call home.

A Perfect Mountain Setting
Few resorts can boast the sense of community and friendliness that Steamboat Springs offers. As a world class ski resort, with a wide range of winter activities, as well as shopping, dining and entertainment, Steamboat Ski Resort has something for everyone.

Facts Don't Lie
Steamboat is actually a complete mountain range: Mount Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak, Thunderhead Peak and Christie Peak. 2,939 acres (1176 hectares) of permitted terrain offer a diversity of trails for all levels of ability. Gladed areas of Sunshine and Storm Peaks are Steamboat's particular claim to fame, with "champagne powder" in the trees for the most avid powder hounds. The Morningside Park Expansion opened 179 acres of new terrain at Steamboat this past season. Next is the four-phase Pioneer Ridge Expansion, a 770-acre area of intermediate and advanced terrain to the north of the existing ski area bringing 260 acres of terrain.

The Best of the Rockies
Steamboat Ski Resort offers the remoteness of the Colorado Rockies, but is one of the easiest ski resorts to get to. We have the closest major airport of any major ski resort in Colorado or Utah, with non-stop and connecting flights from points nationwide and internationally. For the complete ski vacation for families, couples and individuals, or for a full service convention facility, Steamboat Springs is the destination of choice.


With an abundance of recreational opportunities, Steamboat Springs is the ideal vacation spot or second home locale.

Summer Fun
While many people come to Steamboat Springs to enjoy the winter skiing, they usually stay because of the summer.  Warm days and cool nights are perfect for bicycling, fishing, rollerblading, golfing, swimming, horseback riding, water skiing, soaking in the natural hot springs, gondola rides, scenic drives and so much more.

Pick your Pleasure
With over 1,000 square miles of multi-use public lands including Routt National Forest, several Colorado State Parks and two wilderness areas surrounding Steamboat Springs, the area is ripe for backcountry camping and adventure. Some of the most popular sites include:

  • Fish Creek Falls – a breathtaking 283 foot waterfall just four miles from downtown.
  • Buffalo Pass – an immense mountain area directly east of Steamboat Springs that reaches an elevation of 10,180 feet along the Continental Divide
  • Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area – one of the state’s most remote and spectacular wilderness areas stretching from Buffalo Pass to the Wyoming border.
  • Flat Tops Wilderness Area – encompasses 235,230 acres 20 miles south of Steamboat Springs with unique geological features, vistas, sheer volcanic cliffs and numerous alpine lakes.
  • Rabbit Ears Pass – on Highway 40, this pass is named after a highly visible volcanic rock formation resembling a pair of rabbit ears.
  • Steamboat Lake, Pearl Lake, and Stagecoach Lake State Parks – these state parks have camping facilities, fishing and boating opportunities.

Make Yourself at Home
Local lore tells of a visitor who inquired of a local rancher, "Can you tell me what the summers are like around here?" The rancher took his time answering and with a bemused smile said, "Well, to tell the truth, I don't really know. You see, I've only lived here 10 or 12 years." Maybe the rancher didn't want to let out the secret - Steamboat Springs in the summertime is fabulous! Maybe that's why many people believe in the "curse" which says if you visit the Yampa Valley you will be forever captivated, destined to return.
