Free Steamboat Lift Tickets when you book Denver Sports Radio Package


Steamboat Springs was just voted as one of the 'World's Craziest Party Towns' by Travel + Leisure Magazine. Steamboat was ranked among renowned destinations included Sao Paulo, Berlin and Reykjavik! Here's T+L had to say about Steamboat:

  • The Scene: Serious skiing and serious partying sum up scenic laissez-faire Steamboat Springs, which is also hometown to 54 Winter Olympic athletes. Not surprisingly, winter and early spring are the small mountain resort town’s most raucous times of year.
  • Hot Spots: After a day on the slopes, skiers unwind at the atmospheric honky-tonk Gondola Pub & Grill, where a full-size gondola loaded with skis dangles from the ceiling over the dance floor. Later, the action shifts to laid-back local hangouts, like Mahogany Ridge Brewery & Grill, featuring house brew Olympic Gold and live bands on weekends.
  • Tip: Soothe dance-and-ski-exhausted muscles with a deep-tissue massage and mineral soak in natural stone-lined pools at nearby Strawberry Park Hot Springs.

ResortQuest Steamboat would like to invite you to party with FM Sportsradio 105.3 The Fan for their Steamboat Ski Tour on April 3-4, 2009. Stay with ResortQuest and and experience some 'serious skiing' with our FREE Lift Ticket package.

Then, join The Fan crew at Steamboat's on the beach at Steamboat's best apres ski hangout, Slopeside Bar (alongside the Torian Plum) on April 4th for the Grand Marnier Apres Ski Party.

The Fan ski package includes 2-nights accommodations and FREE 1-day ski passes starting at $189 per person for the weekend. Call ResortQuest's 'Fan' hotline at 866 753 5622. Mention promotion code DIRFAN to claim this deal. Restrictions apply. Visit the Steamboat Fan Ski Tour for details.

April 3 & 4 is the second last weekend of the Steamboat ski season and there is plenty of activity around the resort. For one, there's the second last concert for the Bud Light Rocks the boat FREE Concert Series. Join fellow ski bums and Ryan Shaw at the base of the ski resort @ 3pm.

Ryan Shaw is from Decatur, Georgia is out to revive the passion and soul of the Golden Age of Rhythm & Blues (1960-1972) for a new generation. His One Haven/Columbia debut album, This Is Ryan Shaw, combines a powerfully expressive voice with a clutch of great songs both classic and new—and a state-of-the-art, in-your-face sound that makes it impossible to sit still. On stage, Ryan brings it all together with a combination of Southern warmth and New York vitality. Ryan's thrilling voice and charismatic presence are all that he needs to get over with an audience. There's no posturing or mindless booty-shaking, no need for contrived antics: Ryan Shaw is the real deal.

What are you waiting for! We've had 19.5" of fresh snow; we've got a 70 inch base; we're expecting snow all next week; and FREE lift tickets. Seriously. Life is good. Life is better in Steamboat!
