Reviews for Steamboat

A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I feel as if Steamboat caters a little too much on the family part, to the point the resort feels neutered. & I would much rather see terrain park EVERYWHERE not just a tiny designated area THAT you have to go down a wall of moguls just to get to. Although EXTREMELY NICE resort, supreme tree runs, elite level snow, many runs!. just not my cup of tea

New gondola dramatically reduces congestion
The Range increases on mtn food choices.
Need another on mtn lodge at top of sunshine

The town has become a woke mecca with Gay Pride flags, events, etc. everywhere. It is no longer the "Western Town" it once was. Very very pricy, 90% liberal democrat, huge taxes on visitors, ridiculous climate change requirements and all hail LBGTQ all year long. Wife and I looking to move soonest.

This was a great resort. Now is horrendous at weekends due to Ikon Pass. Lines at antiquated "high speed" chairs are often 25 minutes wait. Management sees resort as a cash cow, ridiculous price of day ticket, unbelievable prices for ski storage, food costs, with skiing experience way down their priority list. They cannot get staff as they pay them a pittance. As a result lifts often do not open and grooming standards have plummeted.

Great terrain. Needs to flow better - easily congested

Among the best resorts in the country

Again, this is a great family, friendly mountain where you can jump from one lift to another all day long and never pay attention to the map. Just spend your time, enjoying the mountain and avoiding lift lines.

I have skied for over 50 years and this is the only place I have walked away from after 2 runs. Crowded and the vast majority of the mountain was closed because of wind. Thank goodness I have the IKON pass and didn’t pay for lodging, parking or a day pass. Felt sorry for anyone there on vacation. Waste of money. And they don’t care.

Have a young family (6, 8, and 18 y/o's) pretty low intermediate skiiers. Been to PC, Beaver Creek before.... Steamboat was easily the best all around family mountain we visited!
