This is actually a very rare and seldom, almost never, event when the Steamboat Ski Resort closes completely due to weather. Today’s cause is due to severe gusting winds that make it unsafe for the lifts to operate. These winds are expected to intensify through out the day so the lifts are on a “wind hold” and will not open until the weather conditions improve.
So what do you do when the Ski Resort is closed? Steamboat isn’t just about the snow: Check out the following activities we recommend and sign up to follow our blog so you will always know what is going on in Steamboat! Our concierge is happy to help you book any of these activities :
A Day Off the Mountain Activities:
Hot Springs –rejuvenate your body so tomorrow with all the new powder from this crazy storm you will be ready to go! Head to the downtown springs at the Old Town Hot Spring rec center or head to the Strawberry Park Hot Springs. It is recommended to go with a tour as the road conditions require 4-Wheel drive and a little bit of courage. Sweet Pea Tours or Hot Springs Adventures will get you to your destination safe, sound and it wont take away your relaxed vibe. Call our concierge.
Pools and Hot Tubs at your ResortQuest Condo- don’t want to fight the wind? Then pamper yourself with all our on-site amenities or call concierge to book a massage at the Trappeur’s Day Spa.
