People come to Steamboat for the healthy, outdoor lifestyle and the rural beauty. Steamboat Springs, CO, has a world-class ski mountain with 3000 acres of the best powder in the state. The way our mountains are situated, we get storm systems that miss the rest of the state, and our snow is much lighter than the flakes that fall south of Steamboat Springs.

Once the snow melts, residents get out the hiking gear, river tubes, and bikes to enjoy our perfect summers. Our summers temperatures are in the 80’s, and the evenings get cool enough that you don’t need air conditioning.
