There are several things you can count on when you vacation in Steamboat. Rich western heritage, small town hospitality, and snow, lots of it. With an average of nearly 30 feet of snowfall every season, you can expect to relish in many satisfying powder days. But it’s not just any snow here in Steamboat, we have the driest and fluffiest snow in the world. It’s so different, we coined the phrase Champagne Powder®. In fact, meteorologists have measured Steamboat’s Champagne Powder® as having 70% less moisture content than average snow. If you have a hard time believing it, visit us in Steamboat and get a taste for yourself.
