Romantic Nighttime Gondola Ride and Dinner at Hazies on Steamboat Ski Resort

It was a beautiful, clear, cold night in Steamboat Springs and my boyfriend and I were headed for what was going to be a fabulous romantic evening. He surprised me by getting dinner reservations at Hazie’s.  Hazie’s Restaurant is located at the top of the gondola on the Steamboat Ski Resort. Luckily for me he didn’t pack the snowshoes (it would have been a long hike) but instead we took a night time gondola ride. 

We walked into the gondola area and were greeted by happy lift operators who were quick to assist you into the gondola and promptly supply you with warm blankets for your ride up the mountain.   As the gondola car rode higher and higher, the views of Steamboat were enchanting. It seemed our quaint little town was lit-up just for us!

Hazie’s is a lovely gourmet restaurant with great service, knowledgeable staff and the views are to die for! When you book your reservation with our concierge try to ensure you have a table right next to the windows!  The menu is delicious with lovely varied choices from Spicy Thai Prawns to Filet of Buffalo.  Hazie’s wine menu is quite large with unique wine choices that can be perfectly paired with your dinner choices.

After a delectable dinner and a lovely night out, we once again boarded the gondola for another perfect view of Steamboat at night.

When you stay with us at ResortQuest Steamboat we want to ensure you know all the best activities to do in Steamboat so your vacation will be perfect!  Contact our Concierge’s to book any of your Steamboat activities with your lodging.  After your perfect romantic night return to a luxury vacation rental to cuddle by the fire and enjoy your vacation!  See our current lodging deals!

Steamboat's Strawberry Hot Springs- Natural Wonders

(This blog is written by Lizzie Sack, a Steamboat Local and our Trappeur's Front Desk manager.) 

Ever wonder where the Springs in "Steamboat Springs" comes from? Discover first hand at the world renowned Strawberry Park Hot Springs.

Nestled far back in the serene Rocky Mountains is a place one only hears about in fairy tales.

Unwind after a long day of skiing through Steamboat's famous Champagne Powder by relaxing in 104 degree natural mineral water while absorbing the breath taking views of the forest around you and having snow fall from the starry sky above.

After changing in authentic tee-pee make your choice between three separate pools making it easy to relax into the unique stone masonry, completely clear your head and let your muscles and mind fully loosen up.

Not a skier?  The Strawberry Park Hot Springs is just as beautiful during the day.  Spend a whole day there perhaps starting with a massage in a private hut or watsu therapy in a private pool.  After your massage spend the day soaking in the beauty while resting in the Hot Springs.  Learn more about the Strawberry Hot Springs.

Contact our Concierge to arrange your tour to the Strawberry Hot Springs along with any massage or water therapy treatment!  Also when you stay with ResortQuest Steamboat you will receive great lodging deals for some of the best luxury accommodations in Steamboat!  View our properties now and book online to automatically receive the deals.

Keep in mind that this is a serious 4-wheel drive road and we highly suggest that guest book an inexpensive ride through the multiple companies that shuttle guests to the hot springs.  Also know that after dark there is only moonlight to guide you down the steps and no children are allowed after dark because the Strawberry Park Hot Springs becomes clothing optional.

Run Rabbit Run Ultramarathon Now Part of Montrail Ultra Cup Races

One of the more epic running races Steamboat has ever seen, the 50-mile Run Rabbit Run ultramarathon has reached new levels with the race officially being sold out this week, and the race being added to the Montrail Ultra Cup race series. The Run Rabbit Run is set for September 18, 2010!

The Montrail Ultra Cup runs from one summer to the next. The 2009-10 season included 11 races in all corners of the United States. It wrapped up in June with the Western States 100 in Squaw Valley, Calif. Steamboat’s race will come early in the 2010-11 season and will award four spots — two male and two female — to next summer’s Western States 100, the series’ premier event.

This partnership with Montrail will ensure that Run Rabbit Run will attract some of the country’s top ultramarathon runners. And with the news, the race hit its 150-racer cap.
The race, which starts and finishes at the base of Steamboat Ski Area, includes nearly 9,000 vertical feet of climbing as it pushes toward its turnaround point on Rabbit Ears Pass.
See Course Map Sect. 1 & Course Map Sect. 2

“It’s probably one of the most beautiful courses in America,” he said. “I’d like to think people like how well organized it is and how much fun it is. In the ultra community, a lot of it is word of mouth, and I hear people talking about our race.

ResortQuest Steamboat is a happy bunny partner to the Run Rabbit Run and our lodging deals are still available for runners! Make sure you have the luxury amenities, rooms and services that those tired rabbit feet will need after this ultramarathon. See our lodging deals.

The Reading List for the Sojourn reflects the brilliant writings of all the participating authors and it is a huge summer reading list! No pressure- its suppose to be fun! Here is a stunning review of the event and how much past participants have enjoyed it!

• "I loved being here in my community of readers and writers. Literary Sojourn is really different from other conferences or events I've been to. I felt understood and appreciated as a writer. I loved listening to my fellow authors and hearing how they do what they do. I need to be inspired and re-inspired constantly by other authors, reminding me it is possible to do this task we do. I feel grateful to everybody here."~Maxine Hong Kingston
