Skiing Magazine readers chose Steamboat as the No. 1 spot for tree skiing and ranked it in the top five for powder, top 10 for après scene and top 10 for best resorts in North America. Ski Magazine ranked the Steamboat ski area as the No. 1 family resort in the West and the No. 8 resort in North America.

They include overall satisfaction, access, après ski, dining, family programs, grooming, lifts, lodging, off-hill activities, on-mountain food, scenery, service, snow terrain/challenge, terrain variety, terrain parks, value and weather.
