Enjoying the holidays in Steamboat
You know those Christmas card scenes with the snow-capped mountains, horse-drawn sleigh and light shining from a log-cabin window? We happen to live in one of those cards. You truly cannot find a more picture-perfect mountain holiday than in Steamboat Springs.
There is nothing like a Colorado mountain town during the holiday season. The Old West charm combined with frosty peaks and warm hospitality really set the stage for an unforgettable experience, and we get that experience each and every year as locals. We do not take that for granted, and we revel in the beauty of the winter here.
Shop
Shopping in downtown Steamboat puts any mall to shame. The crunch of snow under your boots and the inviting glow of lights in the shopkeepers' windows really helps to put you into the spirit of the season. For whichever holidays you celebrate, December in Steamboat carries a touch of magic.
Dine
A glass of mulled wine or dark stout, alongside a Colorado steak or bowl of chili, say winter in Steamboat. Fireside dining and great food draw you in from the chill of the outdoors and encourage you to linger with friends.
Play
It goes without saying that wintertime is play time in Steamboat. From the ski slopes to the sleigh rides we mentioned earlier, you will delight in the breathtaking beauty of our Colorado winter.
Celebrate
There are always special events happening in Steamboat, but we look forward to an extra-special one on New Year's Eve. The Torchlight Parade lights up the mountainside as skiers create a snaking glow against the snow with their torches. Followed by fireworks, this event is a unique and special way to ring in the new year.
If you weren't able to make it to Steamboat for the holidays this year, mark your calendars for next year. We'll be here to welcome you, if you do.
Wherever you are and however you celebrate the season, we wish you happiness and prosperity.
