Skiing at Steamboat Springs - Not one town on earth, they say, has never produced more Olympians than Steamboat Springs. I was disappointed at first because there was no terrain above tree line, which was something that seemed to be a pre requisite in calling oneself a premiere Colorado ski resort. Upon further inspection, however, I found that every chairlift was perfectly designed in a pattern through which all skiers could easily access the entire mountain without many, if any, awkward slogs through boring catwalks. Also, the fact that it is forested and its northern latitude are integral factors in helping it consistently stay among the top three ski areas in the state. I have always been partial to the terrain park of Steamboat, all of the no name and Christmas tree chutes, and well planned separation of the beginning skiers from the intermediate and advanced, which is convenient for everybody.
