What You Can Expect For The 20/21 Ski Season at Steamboat Resort

With the snow falling and snowmaking efforts ongoing, skiers and snowboarders are anxious to return to the slopes amidst COVID -19. A recent national survey was conducted by RRC Associates to gauge comfort levels among skiers and snowboarders for the upcoming ski season. The over 20,000 respondents said that the two least acceptable things are having to make online reservations to hit the slopes on a specific day and riding a chairlift with people not in their immediate party.

Steamboat Resort recently delayed the start of the ski season due to lack of snow but is still is making every effort to open on December 1. Rob Perlman, President of Steamboat Resort has emphasized the safety of staff, guests and the community as the resort’s primary concern.

All information was correct at time of writing, but is subject to change by Steamboat Resort. The resort has created The Trail Forward, a micro-site within www.steamboat.com where pass holders and guests can keep track of what is happening at the mountain, throughout the season.

Across the valley, Howelsen Hill, the oldest continuously running ski area in North America is scheduled to open in December. The city-run facility announced the addition of two outdoor ice rinks, which have been funded by local donors. The rinks will cover the existing tennis courts. Just like Howelsen’s beloved ski free Sundays, guests can skate for no charge.
