EPSC WINTER CARNIVAL @ STEAMBOAT, CO

Tucked away in Colorado is a small town unlike any other. It is a place where western heritage and genuine friendliness are as honored as the values of a time gone by and a place where little has changed in the last hundred years. Today’s Steamboat, inspired by Stetson hats and cowboy boots, represents the sophistication of a world-class resort. Authentic western heritage, six peaks of outstanding terrain, and exceptional family programs set us apart from every other ski resort, and what makes Steamboat Ski Magazine’s “Best in the West.”

Whether you’re enjoying après ski at a local pub, browsing one of our many charming boutiques, or riding the gondola, the reception is the same – warm. But the unique and genuine friendliness is only half the reason people choose to vacation here.
