Steamboat, Colorado

January 22-28, 2012

Florida Ski Council Trip

We’ve done all the work, now you can have all the fun!

Grab your skis and cowboy boots and come with us to Ski Town USA! Join Floridians from all around the state for a week of fun on Steamboat’s fabulous champagne powder.

One of Colorado’s authentic Old West towns, Steamboat is over 100 years old but modern in every amenity.  Located in northwestern Colorado, cowboy country meets ski country in Steamboat, where Wrangler jeans and big hats are as common as ski jackets and snowboard boots.  Steamboat trademarked the name Ski Town, U.S.A.® as a testament to its skiing roots and the generations of Olympic athletes who grew up there.  With close to 3,000 skiable acres, a Steamboat ski vacation offers every level of terrain and it’s all easy to reach by a vast lift system including the eight-passenger gondola and six high-speed chairlifts.

Steamboat continues to make significant improvements to the mountain, more than $27 million over the past three years.  Does Steamboat's famous Champagne Powder™ snow put a smile on your face?  If so, you should have a permanent grin plastered there after last year’s record breaking powder season.  As we all know, history has a way of repeating itself in Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A.®.  Ski Steamboat and discover small-town hospitality and friendly service both on and off the mountain. This is a modern ranch town that never lost it’s heritage.  A free bus system allows easy access to the quaint shops, excellent restaurants, and Old West lifestyle.  There are affordable restaurants for every taste - from Norwegian to barbecue smokehouses and post-dinner nightspots to round out the evening.

The Steamboat Grand brings a new level of hotel service to one of America's favorite year-round ski resorts. Surround yourself in casual elegance and enjoy all of the amenities that the Grand has to offer!
