Coming from the East Coast in June to spend a week in Steamboat Springs. Enjoy hiking, fishing & food and drink. Recommendations?

Anyone know the deal with Ilon first tracks and if/when it’ll be running? I went to wild blue at 8 this morning and it was just queued up for the 9am opening. No first tracks yet??

I’m a New England skier planning a trip to Colorado in February 2025, with 3-4 days on the mountain. In the past, I’ve visited Tahoe, Breckenridge, and the Cottonwood Canyon resorts for similar trips. I’ve heard great things about Steamboat, but I’m curious if it’s the right fit for that length of stay. What’s the best way to spend 3-4 days there?

Hey everyone

I see a lot of questions in here in general about getting around and we’re coming with a group of 6 in early Jan. I think the most cost effective method to get around for us is renting a car, but I’m seeing a lot of stuff about snow tires and chains being a county law. We’d mainly just go to the airport and back, and just go around town to eat maybe and go to the grocery store. Do these car rentals need snow tires or chains? And if that’s the case would I definitely need a 4WD car?

I just moved here a few months ago and am mostly working in town however will have to go to denver a few times. I’ve heard driving through rabbit ears can be pretty bad in the winter so I’m wondering what people find as the most reliable weather app for making sure my chances of getting caught in a storm driving back at night are lower.

Hey Steamboat! If you like live electronic music / jamtronica like STS9, Pretty Lights and Papadosio I’m playing a free show tomorrow night at Shmiggity’s!

It will be my first time playing Steamboat so I would love to see you out there!

Here is a link to my music if you wanna check it out!

Hi everyone! We’ve been surfing through ticket prices to fly into HDN and leave from HDN, however we decided to check if leaving from Denver had an impact and it did. We’d be saving ~400 dollars if we fly into HDN but leave from Denver.

So my question is are there reliable shuttle services form the town to DEN? Should we rent a car? Or is it unsafe and we should just fly into and leave from HDN?

For reference we are flying early January 2025.

Recos for design and/or construction of premium custom mudroom lockers/drawer/cabinets?

I just bought my ticket and am wondering how long I should plan to stay in Colorado. I want to ski at least once and was wondering if the music starts late enough to go straight to the fest after hitting the slopes.

Has anyone done this, and if so, would you recommend?

My partner and I are looking at places in Hayden, Craig, or Steamboat Springs. I have a 2 year old and we will likely have another child at some point. Can anyone tell me what things for kids there are in the area? Do you like raising kids there? How are the school systems and daycare? I live in a very rural area right now and there is nothing to do with my kiddo for an hour and half so I'm curious what all Steamboat has to offer.

I'll be traveling solo to Steamboat from November 22 to 27. First timer. It would be cool to meet people to hang out, grab a bite, and socialize with on the slopes, bars, and nightlife. I am currently not drinking, but still go out to bars and restaurants late night. I wouldn't mind sharing a hotel if everyone is cool too.

Send me a chat message and we'll connect.

Hello!

What is the standard route from Steamboat to Vail in the winter time? Google Maps has the 131 but i was not sure if this route was open year-round. Thank you in advance!

To the chick at Wondergrass this March that said with my eyes and smile I would be fine if I had to go back in the dating pool, thank you. I’ve thought about that compliment almost every day for the last 7 months.

I am a 29M moving to Steamboat this winter and curious if people have tips on best ways to build community in the area. I am very into outdoor activities (hiking, biking, skiing, etc.) and wonder if there are good outing clubs to consider? I am always down for a new adventure or something out of my comfort zone, but worry about where to start. What was your personal experience like moving to SB? Any advice will go a long way :)

I'm hoping to do a ski trip at Steamboat in early January and will be staying in Oak Creek. I was trying to find more information about getting around but wasn't turning up much.

How is the drive between Oak Creek and Steamboat in Winter?

Alternatively, are there any buses that run between Steamboat and Oak Creek in winter?

Edit: Thanks to everyone for your great advice! The verdict is to NOT drive. I rebooked a hotel in Craig and will be using the buses to get around.

Will be in steamboat springs Nov 2-7 for family vacation. Any chance of snow? Thanks.

I foolishly planned a long weekend family trip to Steamboat for this upcoming weekend without looking at what activities are closed. Normally, exploring the town and enjoying the scenery and some hiking and hot springs would be more than enough to occupy us, but we have a four year old son who may need more stimulation. All the ideas we have aren't going to work.

Alpine slide, gondola, family fun park, all closed. Horseback riding, too young. Ice bumper cars, there's a hockey tournament. I'm kind of desperate at this point. All I have is the botanic park, fish Creek falls and bowling? Not exactly an inspiring itinerary. I can't even find an indoor pool or arcade he could enjoy. The only other options I can see are the rock climbing center and maybe the Zipline adventure thing. Not sure he could effectively do either though. Also, money. I'm not swimming in it or anything.

So, I ask for any and all ideas that would entertain an almost five year old. And just in case it gets asked, he doesn't need constant stimulation. Just a part of each of the four days he can get excited about. I welcome any input.

Title. Live in Craig and don't want to buy gear she will outgrow during the season.
