Steamboat beyond our expections even without snow!

We chose Steamboat because of its diversity of terrain. We took with us a family who had limited to no skiing experience. This resort proved to be the best training mountain we have come across in our five years of skking and we have skiied Europe, Japan and prevously in the US. It took all of us to a new level of skiing ability. What the mountain lacked in snow this year the people of Steamboat made up for in assistance, expertise and quality of service.
The accomodation though having some cleaning issues at the time was convenient clean and practical and we would stay there again. Steamboat lacked the village atmosphere of Europe but then you cant have everything. We would really recommend having a stop over in Denver on the way just to get used to the altitude.
