When there’s snow on the ground, Steamboat Springs truly comes to life. A magical winter wonderland, Ptarmigan Inn is the ultimate basecamp for travelers wanting to ski, snowboard, and do winter the Steamboat way. Hop on a snowmobile and explore places the chairlifts can’t take you or get romantic on a sleigh ride complete with dinner. Our base location makes it easy to ski in and ski out and take advantage of everything the mountain has to offer.
Steamboat Springs is known as “Ski Town USA” for very good reason! Steamboat Ski Resort is a world-class 3,000 acre ski resort that is getting better every day due to an impressive slate of upgrades and new projects. Our private shuttle will drop you off at our very own ski-in/ski-out location near the base of the gondola, and you will be amazed at how good Steamboat’s ultra-dry, ultra-light champagne powder is! In addition, Steamboat Springs is the home of Howelsen Hill, the oldest continually-operating ski area in the U.S., which offers skiing as well as numerous opportunities to watch Olympic hopefuls strut their ski-jumping stuff.
A Pedego electric bike rental is the very best way to experience Steamboat Springs! The nearby bike trails are safe and breathtakingly beautiful.
