The Mountain

An impressive 3,668 foot vertical drop onto nearly 3,000 acres of ski-able terrain. Twenty-two lifts service the terrain, categorized as 13% beginner, 56% intermediate, and 31% advanced.

Steamboat is best-known as an intermediate's mountain, and the premier tree-skiing mountain in the country. Advanced skiers will find nice bump runs, but there is not a great deal of steep terrain. While geared towards intermediates, very few visitors have any complaints about the terrain - mostly because the mountain is so large.
