If you want to have the best skiing experience ever, then Steamboat Springs is your ski resort. Steamboat boasts an average of nearly 30 feet of snowfall each winter season. You know what this means – powder days followed by more powder days! It doesn’t stop here, however, because Steamboat has laid claim to the term Champagne Powder®. It’s not a hollow claim, because the snow at Steamboat has 70% less moisture content than average snow.
