There’s nothing like a ski weekend in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. With consistently killer snow, great accessibility, epic terrain, and a storybook downtown, it’s high on all kinds of adventure. My family visits at least once a season, happily leveraging the five days of skiing that the Ikon Pass affords at this iconic yet totally approachable mountain. Each year we seem to stash away new pro tips gleaned from local friends or just bushwhacking around this winter wonderland. Here are a few to make your next excursion to Steamboat a little more magical.
