If it\u2019s your first time on the mountain, Steamboat has you covered. While the resort is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steamboatpilot.com\/news\/steamboat-named-to-best-family-ski-resorts-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">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 <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.steamboat.com\/the-mountain\/mahogany-ridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mahogany Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>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<h2><strong>Gear up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Proper equipment is a must for a fun and enjoyable day on the slopes. There are a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steamboat.com\/plan-your-trip\/rentals\/ski-and-snowboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">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<p>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<p>This leads to <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/a-spotlight-on-sunscreen\/\">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<p>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<h2><strong>Get me up there \u2013 gondola vs. chair lift<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.steamboat.com\/the-mountain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gondola, chair lifts, surface carpets<\/a> \u2013 Steamboat has them all.
