Surrounded by wide valleys, STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
, 65 miles north of Vail, looks like no other Colorado mountain
resort. Its roots are in ranching rather than mining, and its
downtown area still evokes a pioneer feel - until you spot the
upmarket boutiques. In this ski-mad town, rancher-types judge
the quality of snowfall by the number of fence wires it covers;
they're usually satisfied with a three-wire winter, which corresponds
to its average snowfall of 325 inches per year.
The town's top-notch ski resort
(lift tickets $59 per day), snuggled into Mount Werner four miles
south of downtown, is boosted by such activities as dogsled expeditions,
hot-air ballooning and snowmobiling, available in and around town.
A favorite year-round activity is to let all the stress seep out
at the secluded 105?F Strawberry Park Hot Springs
(daily; 10am-midnight; $5-10), six miles north of town but only
accessible by 4WD in winter. If you prefer to stay in town, the
Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation Center offers
hot mineral pools (6.30am-10pm; $5), as well as workout facili-ties.
In the summertime, opportunities for mountain biking,
whitewater rafting and horseback riding abound. Outfitters
throughout the town can assist you with gear and guides.
