Champaign powder and huge resort improvements have made Steamboat Springs a premier ski destination in the west. Steamboat is over 100 years old but has modern ski resort upgrades and amenities. Steamboat also has a family-oriented feel with special programs for children and teens. Steamboat is known for legendary powder and over 3,000 acres of skiing terrain. The resort also caters to snowboarders with the infamous Maverick's Superpipe—North America's longest halfpipe.

A few of the touring centers offer full-service shops with the latest in cross-country ski equipment including ski, bindings, boots and gear. Most will also offer snowshoe rentals that accommodate all sizes as well.
