With a mile-wide smile and some of the sweetest powder skiing (and mountain biking) skills around, it’s no wonder that Cathy “Weeds” Wiedemer has found her-self photographed as the face of Steamboat Springs so often over the years. Since she became a full-time local in 1986, she has been a ski instructor, a waitress, an EMT, a PR manager and an entrepreneur – but her stint as a mountain host at the ski area was her favorite gig yet. Since Wiedemer’s epic turns captured in the snow and the sun have lured more than a few skiers and riders to Steamboat over the years, she has also got some sage advice for snagging your best ski shot: “Be yourself, have fun and enjoy the moment. Make sure to smile and pretend the camera isn’t there.”
Steamboat Springs Visitors’ Guide: What do you love most about Steamboat?Cathy Wiedemer: The endless opportuni-ties to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, with an honorable mention to our friends and the people in the community.
VG: What makes a perfect winter day?C.W.: Waking up to a dumping snowstorm; loading up my ski pack; hopping on the free bus for a day of skiing on the mountain or in the backcountry with my husband, Glenn; coming home and warming up by the fire-place with our dog and two kitties.
VG: What makes a perfect summer day?C.W.: A morning walk by the creek with Bella, mountain biking with Glenn, garden-ing and dinner on the deck under the stars.
VG: When did you start skiing? C.W.: My answer is better suited to how I started skiing. As a tiny little sister – I was probably three or four – my brother would carry me to the top of the hills on our proper-ty in New York and push me down the hill.
VG: Where can we find you when you’re not on the mountain?C.W.: Around our home with our golden retriever, Bella, or on the ice with my Chix with Stix hockey teammates at Howelsen Ice Arena.
VG: Your favorite Steamboat amenities?C.W.: Mount Werner, Emerald Mountain and the Yampa River – I love the ski trails on Mount Werner, the mountain bike trails on Emerald and the Yampa River Core Trail.
We’re so glad you’re choosing to spend time in our special valley, where small-town friendliness combines with world- class amenities. Where the options for fun and fantastic vistas never seem to end. Where there’s a real town with heart and soul, ranching and Olympic heritage. Where you can kick off your boots and truly feel at home.
It’s all here, and this comprehensive Visitors’ Guide will come in handy. If you have any questions, our Visitor Center staff at 1255 S. Lincoln Ave. is more than happy to help you plan your activities. Enjoy your stay, but beware of the Yampa Valley Curse! Once you’re smitten, you will want to return again and again. We hope you do!

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS VISITORS’ GUIDE | WINTER 2010/11 | VG 3
VG: What brought you to Steamboat…and what kept you here?C.W.: I came out one summer to be a camp counselor. Went back East, graduated from col-lege and returned with a group of high school friends. We had always envisioned living the “ski life” – ski all day, work at night. It was everything we imagined and more. One by one, they all left town (they return often for vacations). I stayed, met my husband and here we are. The lifestyle and sense of community has kept me here. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
VG: Do you snowboard? Nordic ski? Telemark? And do you have any advice for gearing up and getting physically prepared for a new sport?C.W.: I’ve snowboarded in the past, just a few times. I Nordic ski occasionally and I’m a tele skier. With tele gear you can ski the mountain and hike for turns in the backcountry very comfortably. Gearing up for a new sport can be overwhelming with all of the product technology these days. Do your homework…then spend time at your favorite ski shop. The staff’s firsthand knowl-edge and expertise is invaluable. Maintaining fitness season-to-season through cross training, hydrating and proper nutrition will make any venture into a new activity enjoyable. Another great thing about Steamboat is there’s always someone willing to introduce you to a new sport or there’s a clinic to help you get going.
VG: Knowing that you’ve skied with lots of them, what’s it like to ski along side an Olympian? C.W.: It’s an honor to ski with an Olympian. I have tremendous respect and admiration for these incredible athletes. Growing up watching ABC’s Wide World of Sports and the Olympic Games, I never thought in a million years that I’d have the opportunity to ski and share chair-lift rides with Olympic athletes. It’s definitely a very special part of my life in Steamboat.
VG: What’s your favorite run on a powder day and what do you love so much about it?C.W.: Riding up Storm Peak Express on powder days I ask myself, “Where should I go? Where’s the best line going to be?” Inevitably, I end up skiing Sideburn (skier’s left of Storm Peak Face), to Hurricane, and I’m always psyched that I did. The pitch, the trees, little drop-offs, the openness — the whole package makes for a superior powder run. It’s free-flowing and always has fabulous snow.
VG: And how about a favorite run for those warm bluebird spring days?C.W.: Kuus’s Cruz, to Three O’clock, to Two O’clock, to Daybreak. It’s a great way to soak up the sun and take in the view on the way to Sundown Express.
VG: Any inside scoop about winter in Steamboat you want to share? C.W.: Have the Steamboat Ski Report on speed dial. Check the mid-mountain and summit temps so your layers are just right. Get to know which weather patterns bring Steamboat the most snow and plan your ski days accordingly.

On the CoverPhotographer Aryeh Copa caught skier Kerry Lofy casually launching off the Chute One rock with a sweeping view over the Yampa Valley as a backdrop. “Lofy jumps much bigger than this on a regular basis,” Copa says. “But that rock is like a right of passage for a lot of people who are new to Steamboat or growing up here.”

Yampa River Core TrailSeven scenic miles of multi-use paved trails wind through down-town and along the Yampa River for walking, running and access to fishing holes. During Steamboat’s notorious three-wire winters, when the snow depth is known to exceed all three levels of barbed wire surrounding local ranches, the city’s little blue trac-tors keep the trail clear of snow.

Indian chief who came to Steamboat after making a fortune mining lead, zinc and silver in Oklahoma. The Chief was Steamboat’s first theater equipped for “talkies.”
10. Howelsen Hill | Seen from Ninth and Lincoln ●●Rising up steeply from the south side of the Yampa River, this section of Emerald Mountain is named for Norwegian ski jumper Carl Howelsen, the “Flying Norseman” of Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Carl arrived in Steamboat in 1913 and introduced the townspeople to ski jumping and recreational skiing. By the 1930s, Howelsen Hill facilities included slalom and downhill courses and a “boat tow” consisting of two sleds pulled up the mountain by a cable powered by a Model T engine and transmission. In 1947, a combination chair/T-bar lift to the top of Emerald Mountain was installed and was one of the longest lifts in the U.S. at that time. A 90-meter jump was installed by 1950. Howelsen Hill is the only ski area in Colorado listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places.
11 | Harwig’s Saddlery | 911 Lincoln Ave. (Harwig’s & L’Apogée)Built in the 1890s, this was originally a drug store, then a meat market. In 1916 it became Harwig’s Saddlery and Western Wear, which was run by the Harwig family until 1984. The historic cowboy sign over the storefront was painted in the 1950s or 1960s by noted Western artist Merrill Mahaffey.
12 | The Old Pilot Building | 1009 Lincoln Ave. James Hoyle began Northwest Colorado’s first newspaper, The Steamboat Pilot, on July 31, 1885. This brick and stone building was constructed in fall 1909 for the newspaper printing office, which occupied the building until 1999.
13 | Steamboat Laundry Building | 11th and Oak (Giovanni’s & Creekside Café) ●●Built over a 10-year period starting in 1910, this two-story brick and river rock structure was constructed for the Steamboat Laundry, Dry Cleaning and Pressing business.
14 | Carver Power Plant ● | Tenth Street between Lincoln and Oak (Centennial Hall)In 1900, a coal-powered plant was devised to make Steamboat Springs the first town in Northwest Colorado to provide its residents with electricity. The steam, a by-product of the system used to create electricity, was used to heat nearby schools and residences. This building was rehabilitated to house city hall.
15 | Lorenz Building | 928 Lincoln Ave.This building was completed in 1893 and was originally a general store. In 1912, it became the courthouse when the county seat relocated from Hahn’s Peak. After 1921, the courtroom occupied the second floor, while the clerk, treasurer and jail shared the ground floor. When the present-day courthouse was completed in 1923, the building became the site of a dance hall called the Social Benefit Association or SBA.
16 | Hugus Building/Thiesen Mall | 912 Lincoln Ave. (Steamboat Smokehouse)Built in 1890, this was the site of J.W. Hugus & Co., one of the nation’s first general store chains. It sold farm equipment, furniture, stoves, feed and gasoline in barrels, among other items, in a facility equipped with electric lights, cash carriers and other labor-
saving devices. The store housed Steamboat’s first telephone.17 | Maxwell/Squire Building ●● | 840 Lincoln Ave.(Lyon Drug Store)Once known as the Maxwell Building, this structure was built by J.D. Maxwell of local pressed brick from Trogler’s brickyard, stone trim and plate glass. A post office occupied a room on the ground floor from 1909 to 1962. In 1920, Chamberlain-Grey Drug Store was the first drug store to occupy this site.
18 | F.M. Light & Sons | 830 Lincoln Ave.The F.M. Light family moved from Hicksville, Ohio, to Steamboat in 1905. Soon after their arrival, they purchased the lot, erected the building and secured enough merchandise to open this clothing store. Light family members traveled throughout Northwest Colorado and southern Wyoming, displaying their merchandise and taking orders from ranchers for Western wear, hats, boots, saddles and equipment. The retail store is still owned by family members.
19 | The Furlong Building | 810 Lincoln Ave. (Bushwacker’s)This building was erected in the 1920s using stone from the Emerald Mountain quarry to frame the windows. Norwegian ski jumper Carl Howelsen completed the brickwork and masonry.
20 | The Routt County National Bank Building ●● 802 Lincoln Ave. (Wild Horse Gallery)Built in 1918 with stonework by Carl Howelsen, this building is a unique landmark of two different periods. The Lincoln Avenue façade shows the rehabilitated 1918 exterior, and the Eighth Street side displays the changes from the 1940s.
Extended TourA. and B. Crawford Houses ●●1238 and 1184 Crawford Ave.The second and third houses built by the Crawfords are still standing. The second home, at 1238 Crawford Ave. (on 12th Street), was built in 1886 from native lumber from the Suttle Mill. The bay window was added later to accommodate their daughter’s wedding reception. The large stone house at 1184 Crawford Ave.●● was built in 1894 of stone from the Emerald Mountain quarry. The family occupied this house until Mrs. Crawford’s death in 1939, and have recently moved in again.
C. Cabin Hotel/Bud Werner Memorial Library1289 Lincoln Ave.The Cabin Hotel was built on this site in 1909 to serve passengers coming to Steamboat by train. It was one of the most luxurious hotels in the country and the largest in Northwest Colorado. In 1939, it burned to the ground in less than one hour, claiming two lives.
D. The Depot ●●1001 13th St.Designed by famous Denver architect Frank E. Edbrooke, the Depot was completed in 1909, shortly after the Moffat Line reached Steamboat in December 1908. During the early 1910s, Steamboat was the largest cattle-shipping center in the country. The train provided passenger service until 1968. The Depot now houses the Steamboat Springs Arts Council and the Eleanor Bliss Center for the Arts.

Guides ease you into a new view of the Yampa Valley landscape. Cat SkiingInsert yourself in the classic picture of a skier floating through waist-deep powder with an unflinching smile. A comfortable snowcat trip on Buffalo Pass is an easier way to access the backcountry – and the snow that earns that shot. No skins, no unforeseen cliffs, no frenzied diehards pushing you to log 30,000 vertical feet in a day. Steamboat Powdercats offers an all-inclusive, daylong backcountry experience, from a shuttle in the morning to a cold beer at the end of the day. They separate groups by ability (intermediate, advanced and expert) to ensure your trip is tailored to your skills. They also provide the fat skis and snowboards, precautionary avalanche beacons, guides, catered lunch, water and snacks during the day – plus a CD of yourself in the aforementioned photos. Children 12 and over are welcome. And the guides are happy to offer powder skiing tips. BONUS! Try a moonlit powder ski. They offer monthly dinner skis during the full moon. 970-879-5188 | www.steamboatpowdercats.com
Snowshoeing with a NaturalistYampatika is the Yampa Valley’s nonprofit environmental center. Their naturalists give field-based lessons on local ecology and geology, cultural heritage and sustainable living – and in the winter they use the outdoor classroom to lead snowshoe and skiing excursions with lessons on snow science, animal tracking and wildlife’s winter adaptation. Take a snowshoe tour up Emerald Mountain from 10 a.m.-noon on Saturdays, where you will climb Howelsen Hill onto public lands adjacent to the city. Ski with a naturalist on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:30-2:30 p.m., as you wind down the Why Not? trail from the top of the gondola. Snowshoe to the historic Uranium Mine near Fish Creek Falls on Thursdays, 10 a.m.-noon. And try a moonlit snowshoe during the full moon.

Classic oldies and goodiesLooking to step foot in a Yampa Valley landmark? At the mountain in Ski Time Square, check out the Tugboat Grill & Pub, with live music and an old-time Steamboat atmosphere. If downtown is more your style, check out the Old Town Pub at Sixth Street and Lincoln Avenue. OTP is a local and visitor favorite featuring live music, drink specials and Western atmosphere in a 1904 building that was once a hospital and a dance hall.
Straight to après ski Après ski options abound within seconds of the gondola. Slopeside Bar and Grill is a popular après ski destination right on the slopes with an outside ice bar in the spring and late night drink and pizza specials. At Saketumi next door, satisfy your sushi and sake cravings with happy hour specials starting at 4 p.m. The Bear River Bar & Grill next to the gondola offers live music and après ski grub, plus one of the best views of the free winter concert series. Ditto for Gondola Pub and Grill with its ideal Gondola Square location. Mingle among the locals at the Snowbird Restaurant bar inside the Ptarmigan Inn, or warm up next to an outdoor fireplace at Truffle Pig.
Downtown pubs and grub Once the county headquarters for cattle, horses and hay, Lincoln Avenue has evolved into the cosmopolitan capital of the Yampa Valley. Boasting more than 35 bars and restaurants, Steamboat’s main street has never been livelier. While in downtown, aka “Old Town,” check out the nightlife. The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant (Seventh and Lincoln) serves infamous “limit 3” margaritas and laid back ambiance. Just down the street is Steamboat’s only micro-brewery, Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill (Fifth and Lincoln) which offers live music on weekends, happy-hour specials and an array of tasty homemade beers on tap. Move and groove to live tunes at the Boathouse Pub (Seventh and Yampa), one of the newest nightlife locations in town, right beside the Yampa River.
Step it up For lengthy wine lists stop by Harwigs L’Apogée (Ninth and Lincoln) for their late night bar menu. Cottonwood Grill (Seventh and Yampa) offers an Asian fusion twist—and an extensive martini list—in an upscale atmosphere with views of Howelsen Hill and the Yampa River. Bistro C.V. (Fourth and Lincoln) has a long wine list and alluring menu that features local ingredients. Riggio’s Ristorante (11th and Lincoln) offers Italian delicacies, happy hours deals and $2.50 desserts. Up at the mountain, saunter into the modern digs at Sevens in the Sheraton hotel lobby for a drink and a moonlit view over the ski area.
Late night eats, treats and musicFor a local vibe with authentic New Orleans cocktails and food, check out Sunpie’s Bistro on Yampa Street – beware of the Hurricanes. Mambo Italiano serves pizza and cocktails late. For a late night option that includes live music, dancing and Western character, check out the Ghost Ranch Saloon (Seventh and Lincoln). The Ghost Ranch Saloon has Steamboat’s newest dance floor and stage set up just for bands, featuring live music almost every night around its 1893 restored Brunswick Bar and a walk-up food window, open until 2 a.m. The Powder Room across the street from the Holiday Inn serves up martinis and a living room atmosphere.
Where to watch the game: Steamboat sports barsIf a burger, fries and the game are more your style of late night relaxing, Steamboat boasts settings fit for a true sports fan. The Tap House (Seventh and Lincoln) is the Mecca of sports bars, a basement-level bar with more than 50 big-screen televisions, tons of game choices and famous wings. Or try Rex’s American Grill & Bar (next to the Holiday Inn), with killer appetizers and happy hour starting at 4:20 p.m. every day.
A complete list of Steamboat bars and restaurants starts on VG43. Peruse the Datebook starting on VG28 for free concerts, music festivals and more.

Western BBQFeed your inner cowboy: Barbecue buf-fet. Big cowboy hats. Live music. Dancing. Maybe even the Hokey Pokey. It’s a big night at the top of the gondola, and it’s a tra-ditional favorite that lures families back year after year for its all-inclusive home-style food and lively Western entertainment. 970-879-6111 | www.steamboat.com
MoviesGrab a bag of popcorn, candy and a soda for a few hours of pure relaxation. Steamboat’s Wildhorse Stadium 6 movie theater shows those top-run movies you rarely get around to seeing when you’re not on vacation. 970-870-8222
BowlingStep off the slopes and into a lane at Snow Bowl for a good old-fashioned evening of bowling. Take on the pins traditionally, or request kid-friendly bumpers to help the bowling ball steer clear of the gutters. Go parents vs. kids, or mix it up for a little family-friendly competition. 970-879-9840 | www.snowbowl.net
Sweet StopsTempting your sweet-tooth! Have an old-fashioned soda fountain treat at Lyon’s Corner Drug and Soda Fountain (970-879-1114). Indulge in a scoop of Italy’s decadent frozen specialty at Ciao Gelato (970-879-7979). Belly up for a monster sundae at Johnny B. Good’s diner (970-870-8400). Or venture down the street to Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill (970-879-3773), where there is microbrew beer for mom and dad and homemade root beer (making for a tantaliz-ing float) for the kids.

Winter CarnivalWednesday-Sunday, Feb. 2-6This is Steamboat Springs’ 98th Winter Carnival -- a week of ice sculptures, ski flying, skijoring and shovel races. All the snow goes back in the street for events like skiing kids pulled behind galloping horses and the Steamboat Springs High School band “marching” on skis. The Lighted Man, who skis down Howelsen Hill’s steep slope launching fireworks from his backpack, is a perennial favorite. Proceeds from Winter Carnival buttons (available throughout downtown) benefit the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.

activities guide
Champagne Powder® snow and world-class skiing and riding have long attracted people to Ski Town USA®. But a memorable Steamboat Springs winter vacation reaches far beyond the ski slopes to include a
wide variety of winter activities. Take time to try snowshoeing,
snowmobiling, winter horseback riding, ice climbing, dog sledding, ice skating, fly fishing, hot air ballooning and soaking in the local hot springs. As the sun goes down, try a sleigh ride or snow tubing with the family. Then plan to come back for summer when warm days and cool nights are ideal for hiking, backpacking, bicycling, fishing, in-line skating, golfing, swimming, horseback riding, water skiing, gondola rides, scenic drives and more.

lodging guide
Most of the lodging facilities available through Steamboat Central
Reservations have been assigned quality ratings by an independent rating
service. Properties are first placed in price categories of Premium ($$$$),
Expensive ($$$), Moderate ($$) or Economy ($) based on regular season rates.
A random sample of units/rooms from each property is then inspected and
assigned a quality rating
designation of Excellent
(EX), Very Good (VG),
Good (G) or Fair (F). Properties that are not part of Steamboat Central
Reservations are not rated. The rating designation assigned represents the
overall quality of the furnishings, materials and maintenance. Properties
are compared to one another within the same price categories. Standards
of quality are Steamboat-based, although national standards are taken into
consideration in order to form a baseline. Conditions of the property may
have changed since the time of inspection.

Steamboat Springs lies against the western ridge of the Continental Divide and is nearly surrounded by the 520,000-acre Routt National Forest and three wilderness areas. Add to that mix two ski areas, four Colorado State Parks, hot springs, lakes, riv-ers and trail systems that offer outdoor enthusiasts an endless supply of adventures. There are more than 1,000 square miles of multi-use public lands surrounding Steamboat, enough terrain for every backcountry whim, whether you’re a novice or an adrenaline junkie.

The final portion follows the meadow edge back to the West Summit, then retraces the first segment of old road.
■1D Bruce’s Trail 3.1 milesUSGS map: Mount WernerAccess: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 14 miles to the parking area on the north side of the highway. A short spur connects the parking lot to the main trail.Route description: Designed wide to accommodate both skating and traditional skiing techniques. The trail is machine-groomed in the early ski season. The upper loop provides easy skiing, while the lower loop has a moderate difficulty rating. The tight loop design and proximity to the highway make this trail a good choice for a ski workout, a short day, or for skiers wishing to remain relatively close to their vehicles.
◆◆2A Hogan Park Route 7 milesUSGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton Peak Access: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Peak parking area. One way, to base of Morningside Lift.Route description: This route is recommended for experts only. If you plan to descend Mount Werner through the Steamboat Ski Area, safety straps are required. Begin on the north side of the highway just west of the large cut bank. The route crosses large open parks and many streams. Steep ascents and descents will be encountered. During heavy snowfall or whiteout conditions, the route is very difficult to follow across the large parks. Carry emergency/survival gear. If lift is not operating, climb 1 mile to top of lift, then descend 3 miles to ski area base.
■2B Fox Curve Loop 3 milesUSGS map: Mount WernerAccess: Travel approximately 17 miles east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 to the Fox Curve parking area. Parking on north side of highway. Route description: This route has varied terrain including steep ascents and descents. Use caution when crossing Walton Creek.
◆3A Walton Creek Loop 1.6 milesUSGS map: Mount WernerAccess: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Creek parking area on Rabbit Ears Pass. The parking area is on the south side of the highway.Route description: Begin at the knoll south of the parking lot and follow the powerline a short distance to the west. Turn south across Walton Creek and through Walton Creek Campground. The junction of route 3B is reached in the meadow south of the campground. Past this junction, the route makes a steep ascent over a ridge and down an open slope to Walton Creek and the junction of route 3C. Follow Walton Creek back to the parking area.
◆◆3B Par-A-Llel Route 2 milesUSGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton PeakAccess: This route can be accessed from route 1C, beginning at the West Summit parking area on the south side of the highway, or from route 3A, beginning at the Walton Creek parking area.Route description: This route connects routes 1C and 3A. Skiing it west to east provides more exciting downhill runs; skiing east to west involves more climbing, though much of it is gentle. Starting at the junction of 1C and 3B (west end), the route goes up a gentle slope and drops into a stream valley. Use caution when crossing streams and beaver ponds on this route as they may be only partially frozen. Heavy timber and open meadows.
■3C North Walton Peak Route 3 milesUSGS maps: Mount Werner, Walton PeakAccess: Travel east of Steamboat Springs on U.S. 40 approximately 18 miles to the Walton Creek parking area.Route description: This is the most popular route for telemarking. Begin at the knoll to the south of the parking area and head southeast and downhill through the trees following route 3A. Approximately 1/2 mile from the parking area is the junction of 3A and 3C. The route crosses Walton Creek and travels through wooded areas and open meadows. It connects to Forest Road 302 and follows it to the top of North Walton Peak. Opportunities for steep runs exist on the slopes of this peak.

The one common denominator of all backcountry enthusiasts is an emphasis on safety. Routt County Search and Rescue offers the following tips: • Never go alone. • Tell your friends your destination
and expected time of return. Leave a note in your car at the trailhead with this information, especially if you change your plans.
• Take a map and compass and know how to use them.
• Know your physical condition. • Check with your doctor to see
if changes in medication are recommended for high altitude or strenuous exercise. Make sure your partners are aware of any medical conditions.
• Listen to local weather reports and prepare for extreme conditions.
• Dress in layers and take adequate clothing. Also bring a space blanket.
• Bring more water than you think you will need and plenty of food.
• Take emergency rations. Carry a tin cup and a small stove or matches and fire-starting gear. Know how to use the fire-starting equipment.
• Be aware of your surroundings and the weather. Regularly look backward and around you. Note landmarks and compass bearings. Keep in mind your return route.
• If you get confused, STOP! Stay put and stay warm.
• Adjustable poles, climbing skins, shovel and avalanche transceiver are the core components of any backcountry skier’s gear list. Practice with them and develop a rescue plan.
• Buy a hiking certificate or hunting license at any sporting goods store. By doing so, you are vested in the Colorado Search and Rescue fund, which will cover the costs associated with rescue efforts, should you become lost or injured. Registering a snowmobile at any Colorado State Park office has the same effect.

Whether you are looking to relocate in Steamboat Springs, pur-chase a Colorado vacation home or simply upgrade from the space you are in, Steamboat offers many options for help with your real estate needs. The major industries for Steamboat and the Yampa Valley are tourism, mining, agriculture and location-neutral busi-
nesses, which includes those folks who work from home.
With an estimated population of about 12,000 people, Steamboat is the 38th largest municipality in Colorado – which means we’re still a small, friendly rural town with a deep affection for open landscapes and local agriculture.

services guide
Travelers in the early 1900s visited Steamboat Springs for the natural
hot springs and vast hunting and fishing opportunities. Services
back then were sparse. Today, Steamboat retains that same sense of
isolation and adventure, but none of the need to rough it. Local
businesses offer everything you need to plan and execute a special
event, get a head-to-toe
rejuvenation or just get
your day-to-day business done. There’s no need to hit the trail in
search of planning, printing, equipment or transportation services —
it’s all available right here in Steamboat.

A bonafide cowboy store shares the shopping scene with boutiques, artists’ co-ops, bookstores, and home-furnishing stores. You won’t be surprised to find fishing gear and log chairs, but would you believe you’ll also find near-flawless diamonds and fine crystal? There’s more to the Yampa Valley than an outdoor playground. Steamboat is a treasure trove for shoppers.
