2025 Steamboat Trip
OVSC/LSSC Trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado
January 11 – 18, 2025 (Saturday - Saturday)
Trip Cost: Sold-Out!
Steamboat Springs is nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, off the beaten path but still within reach. If you’re looking for an authentic mountain town, steeped in adventure, history and culture, yet full of modern amenities and activities that are as big as the Rockies themselves.
Of Colorado’s nearly 30 ski resorts, Steamboat stands apart with its Western spirit and famous trademarked Champagne Powder. Tucked-away deep within the Yampa Valley, “Ski Town USA”, as it’s known, takes a bit more effort to reach by road than other local resorts. In recent years, however, its addition to the Ikon Pass combined with increased air service have made it a winter destination for everyone.
Much has changed since the ski area first opened in 1963 with just a few trails: Steamboat now boasts 170 trails across six peaks and 2,900-plus acres of terrain with 17 lifts and four terrain parks. But three constants remain: the ample “champagne” powder (named because it’s so light and dry); wide, gladed trails that cater to all skill levels; and a sincere commitment to making the area a family destination. It was the first mountain resort in the United States to let kids ski for free, and they still do today.
