Steamboat Springs Colorado receives more than 400 inches of snow every winter!  As a result visitors to Steamboat experience some of the best CHAMPAGNE POWDER snow conditions in the world.  What makes Steamboat so special is the consistent early season snow - with steady modest snowfalls throughout the season.  You can expect frequent 6-10 inch snowfalls - with occasional larger "dumps".  And one of the hallmarks of skiing in the central Colorado Rockies - is the frequent "blue bird" days  of sunshine following overnight snowfalls.
