STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RESORT is a renowned ski resort and mountain town in Colorado, known for its "Champagne Powder" snow and a rich Western heritage. It's a year-round destination offering a wide range of activities beyond skiing, including hiking, and exploring the natural hot springs. The resort itself boasts diverse terrain across its six peaks, catering to all skill levels, from beginner slopes to challenging glades and expert chutes.
Many people who will join on this trip will attend the XNM Aspen Trip (which will start on Sat, Feb 21) and at the conclusion of that trip, we will drive north to Steamboat Springs. The drive from Aspen to Steamboat should be about 3 hours.

FLIGHTS/TRANSPORTATION/CARPOOLS:
For those who are also attending Aspen, the most popular airport will be Denver. Google Spreadsheet will help coordinate flights, and rental cars but ultimately booking of flights and rental cars is your responsibility. For those just joining in Steamboat, you will need to flight into Denver International Airport or Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN). It is about a 3 hour from the Denver International Airport to Steamboat Springs. The Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN) Transportation airport is only a 30-minute drive from Steamboat although, it is very limited in terms of flights and the flights will longer and have a layover.
LIFT TICKETS:
Most trip attendees will have Ikon Passes. Steamboat Springs is on the Base Pass. If you are planning to purchase an Ikon Pass, reach out to John for more information on the group program. We do not have group discounted lift tickets for this trip specifically.
