• Genuine and Welcoming Western Heritage - The American west is alive and well and living in Steamboat Springs. Working ranches surround the town. Main Street is extra wide -- to accommodate cattle drives. And you're just as likely to have breakfast next to a cowboy as you are a tourist. But up here, you'll also find the spirit of the West in the tip of a hat. A genuine smile. An open door. And a light left on
• Unbelievable Tree Skiing - Most of the trees on the hill are skiable, and there are a mix of aspens and pines, and lots of variation with regards to pitch and tree spacing. The tree skiing is pretty spectacular.
