Skiing and Dog Sledding in One Place?

For those looking for a fun time skiing as well as a good resort to stay, Steamboat Springs, Colorado perfectly fits the bill. Known for it’s “powder”, the town has some of the driest snow in the U.S.

It also has no shortage of snow having averaged over 300 inches of snow per winter in the last few years. But Steamboat Springs is also a great tourist destination area.

Steamboat Springs is much more than a cookie cutter tourist trap, however. Part of its charm flows from its real life history as a small cattle town. And many visitors love the small town feel that the community exudes. The atmosphere of the town, as you might expect from a ski resort, is casual.

Steamboat is also an affordable destination for families. Skiing can be an expensive sport. And compared with places like Aspen and Vail, this is a welcome oasis for those seeking for a bit of price relief. Steamboat also has many good skiing packages available.

If you’re looking for price breaks on lodging or cheap ski resort packages, it’s best to search for one of the nearby condominium resorts where you’ll typically get a much better deal than you will from most of the hotels. Most will also have nearby shuttle services to take you to and from the slopes.

But skiing is not the only thing that Steamboat has to offer. You’ll also find dedicated snowmobiling trails with breathtaking views that you can take advantage of on the days where you want a break from the ski slopes. And for the more adventurous souls, there’s dog sledding - probably one of the few places you’ll ever get to enjoy this past time outside of Alaska.
