Steamboat is a resort near Steamboat Springs, Colorado with 2965 acres of ski-able land, 3,668 vertical feet and 20 lifts. Traditionally it has been known for its cowboy and mining roots, but the resort is shiny and new with all the modern accommodations. This mountain is actually a 6-peak mountain range, which encompasses all ability levels and has some... of the best glade skiing around. You will not find jaw-dropping chutes here, but there is plenty of fun for tree skiing. Especially by Mount Werner, there are a number of double black diamond runs with some steep descents and tree skiing. Steamboat gets some of the most snow in the region with an average 335 inches per year. This snow is also known to stay deep and stick because fo the prevalence of trees in the area. Steamboat also hosts a large number of easy winding trails that offer a new and fun experience for those at that ability level. A number of slope-side lodging is available and downtown Steamboat Springs is only a couple minutes away by either car or shuttle. Overall, Steamboat is a fun place to take a multi-day trip and experience the outdoors in a combination of the best tree runs and deep snow. Read more

For discounted tickets to Steamboat - - your 2 best options are purchasing the 6 day Pure Pass in the spring/summer months or purchase the Rocky Mtn Super Pass + which includes 6 days at Steamboat and unlimited at Copper and Winter Park. Keep in Mind, Kids 12 and under also ski free with an adult 5 day lift ticket purchase at Steamboat.

I have looked and looked for discount tickets from steamboat and have been unable to find them. For where I live, the drive to Big Sky is shorter and the mountain is superior. Lift tickets are too expensive at the boat. Big Sky = better skiing and less cost.

If you r going to ski Steamboat check out the Gold C coupon book in Denver as it has a meager savings coupon.
Also be sure and rent your gear from Fleischer SPort at the base of the mountain they are awesome and have incredible gear and service.

Yes. Steamboat has never really been good for deals, Now that they are part of Winter Park and Copper, it's getting better. This year (til 12/31/10), they offered a 4X40: 4 unrestricted tx: 2 @ WP and 2 @ Steamboat. Great deal, hopefully they'll have it again next year

If you visit Steamboat in the summer and go to the Mountain (ski area) they often give away highly discounted coupons for the following season - just to keep in mind for next year. Steamboat is almost as beautiful in the summer as in the winter and the mountain is open to hikers and mountain bikes!

As of today Nov 30 2010 purchasing a 5 day lift ticket for Steamboat in February is $100 more ($485) than a 5 day lift ticket for Vail ($385) for the same time period and $50 more than Aspen ($335) making Steamboat the most expensive lift tickets in Colodado it appears. Boo!
