You’re going skiing at Steamboat Resort \u2013 are you stoked?<\/p>\n

Steamboat Resort<\/a> offers terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels. If it\u2019s your first time on the mountain, Steamboat has you covered. While the resort is known for its family-friendly environment<\/a>, Steamboat also offers incredible tree skiing and for those seeking a challenge, there\u2019s even expert-level terrain in Mahogany Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what you strap to your feet, here are a few tips from locals that will set you up for a great time when skiing at Steamboat Resort.<\/p>\n

Gear up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Proper equipment is a must for a fun and enjoyable day on the slopes. There are a variety of ski and snowboard rental stores<\/a> on the mountain and in downtown Steamboat to set you up with rental equipment for your trip.<\/p>\n

A properly fitting helmet is strongly recommended, as are goggles or sunglasses to protect your eyes. Be careful not to leave a gap between your helmet and goggles; on a sunny day, that\u2019s a likely spot for a sunburn.<\/p>\n

This leads to sunscreen<\/a> \u2013 it can be one of the most important pieces of gear. Put it on early, and reapply often. The snow reflects sun rays towards your face, intensifying the impact on your skin. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is a good choice. Toss a small tube in your pocket for reapplication.<\/p>\n

Layers are key, as temperatures can fluctuate between lower, mid and upper mountains, plus depending on the time of day, sunshine and shade can affect temperatures by a few degrees. Choose synthetic, wicking fabrics over cotton, and make sure your outer layers are water-resistant or waterproof.<\/p>\n

Get me up there \u2013 gondola vs. chair lift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gondola, chair lifts, surface carpets<\/a> \u2013 Steamboat has them all. While the magic carpets are reserved for those in ski and snowboard lessons<\/a>, any ticket holder is welcome to ride the Wild Blue Gondola<\/a>, the Steamboat Gondola and the chair lifts.<\/p>\n

Types of snow at Steamboat Resort<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Steamboat Resort is known for its Champagne Powder \u00ae<\/a>, some of the lightest, fluffiest snow you\u2019ll ever experience. You may hear a few other terms for snow: corduroy (perfectly groomed overnight by a fleet of snowcats), dust on crust (a thin layer of freshly fallen snow on top of firm snow), concrete (deep, heavy snow), freshies (untracked powder) \u2013 the list goes on.<\/p>\n

Skiers go downhill, right?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Actually, they can do both. It\u2019s not uncommon to see a number of skiers and snowboarders with split boards \u201cskinning\u201d or \u201cski touring\u201d up the mountain, particularly on Heavenly Daze under the gondola.<\/p>\n

Specialized bindings and adhesive skins placed on the bottom of skis make it possible for skiers to make their way uphill. It’s an incredible cardiovascular workout and a great training option for the winter, but proper training, hydration and appropriate layers are keys to success.<\/p>\n

Rules and guidelines<\/a> have been established to keep all skiers safe, regardless of the direction you choose to ski.<\/p>\n

Say hello to Buddy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you get off either Storm Peak or Bar-UE lifts, head skier\u2019s left towards a bronze bust of Buddy Werner<\/a>. Buddy was a native of Steamboat and one of its many Olympic skiers<\/a>. He was killed in an avalanche in Switzerland in 1964 and shortly after that, Storm Mountain was renamed Mt. Werner. As you ski by, give him a tap with your pole for good luck on the way down.<\/p>\n

Yard sale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you happen to take a tumble and lose a pole here and a ski there, you\u2019ve had a \u201cyard sale,\u201d meaning you\u2019ve spread out your belongings for all to see. First, make sure you\u2019re all right. Second, gather your things and depending on where you landed, move to the side of the run to reassemble and adjust your gear. If it\u2019s a good yard sale, don\u2019t be surprised to hear a few cheers if there\u2019s a chairlift overhead.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an app for that\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"screenshotWhen you download the Steamboat app<\/a> on your mobile device, you\u2019ll have weather and snow reports, lift and trail statuses, webcams and more at your fingertips. Find the latest resort dining options and event calendars. You can even turn on the GPS tracking feature to see how many vertical feet and distances you cover on the mountain. It also has the capability to contact ski patrol<\/a> should you need assistance.<\/p>\n

‘X’ marks the spot<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Skis stuck in the ground in the shape of an \u201cx\u201d signal to other skiers and riders that someone needs assistance. It also provides a quick reference point to help guide ski patrollers to the injured person. If you come across this type of scenario, it\u2019s best to give them some space.<\/p>\n

Need help?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Should you become injured while at Steamboat Resort, look for a member of Ski Patrol \u2013 they\u2019re easily identifiable by their red coats with white crosses on them. You can also reach out to Steamboat Ambassadors (in the yellow coats) to connect with Ski Patrol. Another option is to send someone to the nearest lift tower (above or below you) for a call to be placed to Ski Patrol. Patrollers will assess your condition and transfer you down the mountain if necessary.<\/p>\n

Should you need additional care or treatment, the teams at\u00a0UCHealth Urgent Care \u2013 Steamboat Resort<\/a>, located at the base of the mountain, and\u00a0UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center<\/a>, just minutes from the mountain, are available to help.<\/p>\n

When the snow is piling up, you might hear the saying, \u201cThere are no friends (or spouses or children) on a powder day.\u201d It\u2019s all in good fun. With 3,741 acres<\/a> to explore, there\u2019s plenty of snow and terrain to go around for everyone.<\/p>\n

(Just don\u2019t ask locals for their secret powder stash.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
