Steamboat Springs: Even Better Without Snow!

The Steamboat Ski Resort has closed for the winter of 2008/2009. This was one for the record books; a season that will no doubt live on in our memories through stories told year after year. It’s the story of the ultimate four-wire winter where over 500 inches of snow fell at the summit and over 40 feet cascaded down at mid-mountain.

Thank you to everyone who visited Springs this season. We hope you enjoyed every flake of snow as much as we did. We hope to see you in 2008/2009!

I am the author of http://www.steamboatskibums.blogspot.com/. Now that the ski season has ended, I turn my blogging to Steamboat in the summertime. If you did ski Steamboat this winter, please feel free to return to the Steamboat Ski Bums blog and post your comments and experiences!

Summer in Steamboat Springs: Now it's time to come and see what Steamboat’s 500+ inches of powder snow turns into when it melts: a whitewater rafting, tubing, fly-fishing and wine-tasting paradise! Tee off on one of Steamboat's championship golf courses, take in a wild Western evening at the ProRodeo Series or discover our cultural side at the internationally acclaimed Strings in the Mountains Music Series, the Steamboat Wine Festival or at any one of the renowned summer festivals.
