Why Steamboat Springs May be the Ideal Place to Live

Three hours from a major city, 331 inches of average annual snow fall, 59 annual average frost free days, and significantly less than 11,000 people...those will be the first reasons why Steamboat Springs, CO is the ideal place to live, now let me provide you with a few more. I'll play the role of brief, but remember, there's more where this is coming from! First and foremost, the community is in fact, a community first, and a world-class ski resort second. Ask anyone who lives here and they'll be happy to tell you that in Steamboat Springs you have others who live nearby who care about you and watch out for you. There is Boat Rentals Steamboat Springs in your drive-way? Be confident, one of your neighbors will call and let you know. Ask any second house owner or visitor about Steamboat Springs, and one of the initial things they'll say is that the people in our town are so friendly. This fact alone would make Steamboat Springs, CO an ideal spot to call home and without a doubt the ideal spot to raise a family - let me say it one final time before moving on, "individuals are nice and the people here care about you."

OK so everyone's nice, but I get asked, "What do you do when you're 3+ hours from the major city, and it's cold and snowy so a number of days of the year?" Well let's focus on summer if it is not cold and snowy and people come to this ski resort town and with out a trace of champagne powder on the ground they spend a week here and decide to stay. Summertime in Steamboat Springs, CO brings the free concerts at the bottom of Howelsen Hill, fly-fishing in the Yampa and Elk Rivers, hiking and biking on trails for each and every level and surrounded by Rocky Mountain beauty, golfing at public or private courses, the weekend rodeo that thrills both locals and visitors, not to mention tubing down the Yampa River for individuals who like to beat the heat in chilly, fresh mountain water. Summertime does mean the annual July 4th parade, Art-in-the-Park, HEAT balloon festival, Steamboat Running & Bike Series races...and in the end this activity, a margarita on the Rio deck, a brick oven pizza sitting on Rex's back patio, or an ice cream cone from Johnny B. Good's take-out window hit the spot. Locals in Steamboat Springs take full advantage of the short, but very sweet summer months - we know winter is right nearby.

And now for winter...how do we Steamboat locals co-exist with the thousands of skiers and snowboarders who come year-after-year for the champagne powder and western hospitality? Well to begin with, you're likely to see mostly locals in the gondola line at 7:45am because we've paid attention to the 5:00am snow report and know there's 14 inches of powder on Storm Peak that require to be skied before heading into work a little later than normal, but totally refreshed and energized for your day! But we don't just ski within Ski Town USA, when you live here and it's wintertime, you take your kids to SNOWBOARDING Club, you have a dip in the Old Town Hot Springs pools, you snowshoe in the moonlight to the perfect spot for sitting and drinking some wine that was in your backpack all night, and you hit the first bird special at the Orr House in which a sizzling steak and huge salad bar await. Local winter events that even us locals await every year include the Winter Carnival where the high school band "marches" down Lincoln Avenue on skis, there are races where (if you are brave) you're pulled by way of a horse while sitting on a shovel, and you trek to Howelsen Hill to invest an evening watching fireworks where the lighted man skis down the hill, shooting fireworks from multiple body locations...some things you merely have to see to trust.
