Ski-ing in Steamboat Springs
It literally dumps it down with the white stuff in Steamboat Springs which gets around 38 inches (97cm) of snow in the months of December and Jan. That seems like reason enough to get on over to Colorado, strap on and enjoy the slopes before taking a naked midnight dip in one of the numerous natural hot springs in the area. In fact it was these very same hot springs that provided the name to the town, upon first hearing a chugging sound, early trappers believed that a steamboat was coming down the river, after laughing at their own foolishness they named the place ‘steamboat springs’.
Accomodation
Obviously it’s not all about the snow, and hot springs, you need to sleep somewhere also right? We suggest the Rabbit Ears Motel, which has this not scary looking at all rabbit face on it’s sign. And in all it’s rooms. Freaky.
Ok, but more seriously we have prepared a search link for what is available on Airbnb, just click here for Steamboat Airbnb availability.
