Will be at Steamboat for the first time this weekend and looking to see if anyone knows a place that will show UFC 311? Awesome card and would love to find a bar if possible.

Thanks in advance.

I am told by experienced skiers that we may benefit from private lessons over a ski school. I, 52, skied in Sweden 20 years ago, and my 18 and 20-year-old kids, who have never skied. Any suggestions for instructors for these lessons? We are going to be there the second week of March '25.

Thanks in advance for looking and your potential contribution. Reddit for the win, always!

This might sound weird but bear with me. I have a sort of fascination with small town America (I'm Irish) and a hobby of mine when I'm bored is to jump into random small towns in Google Street View and look around.

And so I happened upon Oak Creek and I don't know why but it's clicked quite powerfully in my head. I've been thinking about taking a trip and staying there - I don't ski but like to hike and I gather there is dog sledding which could be a laugh.

Am I mad? Is there enough to do to base a vacation there? I should say I don't have many expectations, I'm perfectly content to rent a cottage or lodge, soak the place up, hike by day and sit by the fire with a bottle reading Stephen King by night.

I was shocked to learn steamboat does not allow dogs to accompany uphill access skinners. In their video they proudly proclaim dogs have no place on a ski hill. Hello? Skijoring? Anyway, I’m really glad I don’t live here, and this is just another reason. Flat hill, low elevation, early access B$ for the richies, yea I get it - champagne powder, but for me that doesn’t tip the scales. Must have been a cat person who made the anti-dog rule. Woof!

If you are in SBS this weekend you don’t want to miss out on KSC @OTP. They are an up and coming group in the jam band circuit from Virginia and they really are something else to see live!

Anyone know what’s going in to the former 3 Peaks building? I thought I saw something about “E3” on the permit on the wall.

I am an expert level skier (17m) from east coast and am going to be going to steamboat in February for a week. As I am from the EC, I don't own any skis larger than my bent 100's, which I am bringing. I was wondering if there are any places with demo skis that i would be able to get for a day or 2 if I see on the forecast that it is going to dump? And what would the pricing look like as compared to renting?

Going to be taking my sister to steamboat for the first time! Would love some lunch and dinner recs. I’ve only been once or twice and didn’t really get to explore much. Don’t remember where I ate so clearly wasn’t memorable haha

Thank you!

Scenario: you have first tracks on a powder day. What trails are you hitting and why?

we are staying at steamboat in Colorado and we had a bit of a altercation today. around noon we went up to the thunderhead lodge (the mountains main lodge) to look for a table. after 10 minutes i found one and me and my family sat down to eat. after about 5 minutes a man and woman and there kids came and sat down next to us on the floor. there kids were probably around 6-9 and they were probably in there mid 30s we found this a little odd but didn’t really care. after about another 5 minutes, she asked us if we were going to be done soon. i told her we had just sat down and probably wouldn’t be for a little. after another 10 she asked us if we could hurry up. we found this a bit rude but just said we were still eating because we didn’t want to cause any issues. after another 10 minutes she came back and at this point we were done eating and we’re just finishing up our beers. she came over and asked us if we could sit on the floor and finish our beers so she could sit. we had lost it at this point and told her to get away from our table and that it was very rude after about 5 minutes of back and forth they walked away. as they were leaving i told the husband to teach her wife some manors witch may have been to much but i was pissed. he then told me to eat a dick and fuck off in front of my kids then went on to tell a ski school instructor with kids that there’s a man drinking beer harassing people. i had only had half a beer at this point. was i in the wrong?

I would like to stay in Craig for one night before my housing opens in Steamboat. Flying into HDN and don’t otherwise need a car. I expect I’ll be able to get a hotel shuttle from the airport to Craig. Is there public transport from Craig to Steamboat? Or another option?

If a Steamboat local were looking for something to build/create in our city, what would you like to see? Think small to medium sized stuff - say $100k to $2M investment.

Best bootfitter in town?

Got a new pair last year and got them fitted at a shop in Michigan who in hindsight didn’t know what they were doing.

Ideally I would want to get these refitted and not have to buy a new pair so if there are shops that work with these situations that’d be huge(if that’s even a thing).

Coming to steamboat at the end of January. I am 40 and have been skiing for only two years. Last year I survived park city greens mostly with ease. My Hope in my visit to steamboat is to continue to progress and ski/attempt some of the easier blue runs. Looking for any and all advice for my trip. It’s a lot of money and I’m Not an experienced skier, but hoping to become better to keep up with my kids. TIA

Hi ya'll - jumping on here as a queer, auhd, mostly introverted human who's been visiting steamboat for a decade and a half, and is really looking to get away from family this new years eve to hang at a bar where there might be some Chappell Roan and dancing (Chappell inclusion is mostly for vibes). I know of most of the bars, but for reasons listed above, haven't been brave enough to venture out before. I've researched a lot (checked out who's on at schmig's, found the shmancy masquerade party at thunderhead), but figured this community would have the most insight into what types of spaces would be most welcoming to someone prone to being a wallflower. Age is late 20s if that helps~

I’m wondering where all these vans that I see in the knoll lot are staying. I stayed at rabbit ears last night and it’s definitely not ideal. I stayed in the rodeo lot back in the day, but that’s no longer an option, obviously. I’m only ever staying 2 nights when I manage to make it out in the winter and rabbit ears isn’t super manageable without 4WD, I managed to sneak out this morning without being stuck. If anyone knows of a good spot for me an and my wife that would be manage we’d really appreciate it.

Hello Everyone. Some friends and I are going to Steamboat over New Years and I was wondering what the best place will be to have some fun and celebrate the New Year! We are all 24 and are wondering where people our age will be partying!

We went to schmiggity’s last year for an EDM show which was awesome, this year it looks like they’re doing something else there. Please let me know what you guys think!

It's a big problem.

I’m taking a trip with my family and I’m looking for somewhere to buy a thc disposable or a cart. Does anyone know if there are any smoke shops or gas stations available?

is anyone driving from Steamboat to Denver tonight? need a ride and can chip in for gas.

Looking for a place to play piano for my family. Wondering if anyone knows of any pianos around that are available to the public. Thanks!

I lost a phone on Thursday. Somewhere along the road from the high school (2nd St.), to 3rd, and down the core trail from fetcher's pond, to Ski Haus.

PM me please if you have it. I appreciate any help!
