A Resort Town Steamboat is a first-class destination resort. When you're not burning down the mountain or ripping the new Mavericks SuperPipe you can enjoy cross-country skiing or snowmobiling through the mountains and valleys that surround Steamboat. The other side of winter in Steamboat includes world-class dining, a broad spectrum of night life, sophisticated spas to pamper and sooth every muscle and pore and, of course shopping, shopping and more shopping from cowboy boots to bronze sculpture. Throughout the winter Steamboat hosts a litany of special events from the annual Cowboy Downhill to the oldest Winter Carnival west of the Mississippi.
