Steamboat SpringsSki Town USA at 6,732 feet in the Yampa Valley — Steamboat Resort's 3,741 skiable acres, the Wild Blue Gondola (the longest in North America), Howelsen Hill (the oldest continuously-operated ski hill on the continent, 1915), and the Strawberry Park natural hot springs

Steamboat Springs is Ski Town USA — a registered trademark earned by 88 Olympic athletes raised in the Yampa Valley. Steamboat Resort opened in 1963 on the slopes of Mt. Werner, a 10,568-foot peak three miles south of downtown along US-40. The mountain runs 3,741 skiable acres (the second-largest in Colorado after Vail), 18 lifts, and the Wild Blue Gondola — at 9,890 feet, the longest gondola in North America, lifting from the resort base at 6,900 feet to Thunderhead at 9,080 feet in 11 minutes. The town's Champagne Powder® trademark refers to the unusually dry, low-density snow that piles up in the Yampa Valley off Pacific moisture cycles.

Our rentals run from luxury slope-side condos at the Steamboat Grand and the Phoenix at the resort base, to ski-in/ski-out townhomes at Trailhead Lodge and Antlers, to slope-side studios at the historic Storm Meadows complex, to creek-side cabins on the Yampa River off Lincoln Avenue downtown. Most resort-base properties are within a five-minute walk of the Wild Blue Gondola or the Christie Peak Express; the Lincoln Avenue downtown rentals trade gondola proximity for Yampa River walking distance and the historic-Western downtown's restaurants and music venues.
