Steamboat Springs Q's

[turn_one]

The annual mancation landed us at Steamboat this year (Jan 25), having never been there I had a couple of questions for those who have:

 

1. At $91 F*&^ing a lift ticket I'm afraid I'll do more drinking than boarding; does anyone have a line a discount tickets, maybe like a CO pass for multiple resorts (I'll be there for 1 week) and if no, preferred discounted watering holes?

 

2. Should I bring the ice tools for a reprieve from the skiing and murderous lift prices. (Would be going solo, WI3 or easier, no car, staying on the mountain).

 

Thanks all.

$91/day is up there, at least to me, but CO has always had some high lift prices. I should look up a day pass at Telluride.

 

I don't have any answers to your questions. All I can say is Steamboat has nice tree skiing, but not much in the way of extreme anything.

Pisser...one resorts blacks are others greens it seems. WA black runs seem to be bit more steep than any other place I've been.

Yeah the tress at Steamboat can be epic on a good day, but aside from there isn't much else going on. Maybe not crazy steep, but unlike most NW resorts, there is some serious vert to be had.

Talk your group into Telluride. It's 92/day. Expensive, but at least there is some rad skiing.

 

Of course if you want a ski area with none of the resort fuck fuck then A Basin is the place to go. Good terrain and lower prices.
