Steamboat is easily one of the most magical places to celebrate the winter holidays. Because of our beautiful mountains, champagne powder, cheerful locals, and vibrant pine trees, the Yampa Valley offers the most picturesque holiday experiences imaginable. 

During the holiday season, the entire town adorns itself with Christmas lights. Because of this, if you have the pleasure of night skiing on Howelsen or Mount Werner you will be able to see the twinkle of each house in Steamboat sparkling like the star on the top of the Christmas tree.

On Oak Street a beautiful menorah is lit up every year to add to this sparkle. Har Mishpacha, the Jewish Community of Steamboat Springs, commissions a different artist each year to create a menorah to celebrate

I knew it would be good day when my Sunday night grocery run left my car covered in inches of snow. I had that Christmas eve feeling while I anticipated what would come the next morning. Followed by an overnight storm that brought 18 inches of snow, it was definite that Steamboat was the place to be for early season skiing.

When I woke up last Monday, (October 28th!), I didn’t plan to ski. I felt the presence of new snow as my room lit up from the white light shining through the slit of my window’s curtain.

Imagine rolling out of bed, getting fully booted up from the comfort of your couch, and to the parking lot to start your ski day in less than 30 minutes. That is the beauty of skiing in Steamboat. Not to mention the mountain is open to early

Have you been curious what all of the yellow signs are about when you’re driving into Steamboat? Well look no further to discover Steamboat’s 114 year old clothing store, F.M. Light and Sons.

Everyone in Steamboat seems to own a pair of cowboy boots, and they all got them from F.M. Light and Sons. There you can find the best western garb in town!

The store started in 1905 after recently-arrived Frank M. Light realized that there was no men’s clothing store in town. Backed by locals, he opened F.M. Light’s with the help of his two sons, Olin and Clarence. The small town backed Light’s decision to make the store, often reporting about it’s progress in The Routt County Sentinel. The store first opened on November 9, 1905. It was a cold day, and had

The answer is our beautiful airport! Ask anyone in Steamboat- they probably know a few people who work there, making it the most social airport experience in the nation.
