Small Cattle Town Also Best Place To Ski

Filed under: Imformation — remadd @ 7:34 am

For those looking for a fun time skiing as well as a good resort to stay, Steamboat Springs, Colorado perfectly fits the bill. Known for it’s “powder”, the town has some of the driest snow in the U.S.

It also has no shortage of snow having averaged over 300 inches of snow per winter in the last few years. But Steamboat Springs is also a great tourist destination area.

But this town is a bit more than a simple cookie cutter tourist trap. In fact, much of the town’s charm comes from its history as a small time cattle town. And for those who love small towns, this community exudes that friendly small town feeling.

The community of Steamboat is also very much price friendly, especially for families. Skiing can be an expensive sport. And compared with places like Aspen and Vail, this is a welcome oasis for those seeking for a bit of price relief. Steamboat also has many good christmas ski packages available.

Another key to getting price breaks on your lodgings or cheap ski resort packages is to opt to rent one of the many nearby condominiums. A condominium will typically give you a much better deal than you will get from most of the hotels. Most of these areas will also have nearby shuttle services to get you to and from the slopes.

But skiing is only a small part of all that Steamboat has to offer. It has some great trails, devoted to snowmobiling, where you’ll have breathtaking views that let you take advantage of when you need a respite from the ski slopes. And if you’re one of the more adventurous souls, there’s always dog sledding – probably one of the few places you’ll ever get to enjoy this past time outside of Alaska.
