Steamboat Springs Lift Tickets
Steamboat is one of the world’s most popular winter destinations, in large part due to its pristine slopes and year-round blanket of frost. Also known as Ski Town USA, this Colorado town is one of the best places to experience the Rocky Mountains.
Snow has forced people to get innovative for years. People have been forced to come up with alternative means of walking, transporting their goods and livestock, as well as ways to stay warm and protect themselves from the cold. Things like skis, snowboards, and sleds that seem like winter fun tools to most, not very long were essential to survival. However, it was this very snow that brought Steamboat onto the world map as a ski resort. With the development of the city, many new features arose to make life more comfortable for both the traveler and the native. One such feature, without which the Steamboat winter industry would collapse, is the chairlift. As ridiculous as it sounds, Steamboat Springs was recognized as a legitimate ski town only after the first lifts were installed.
Steamboat Springs has all the basic ways to get people from the bottom to the top of a slope, from cable cars and magic carpets to chairlifts and chairlifts to luxurious gondolas. The city was the first to implement the “kids ski for free” program, which allows children from 6 to 12 years old to access the ski lifts and slopes free of charge as long as they are accompanied by adults. Adults, of course, even if they are seniors, have to pay their entrance. The system, which works on the principle of “1 free child per paying adult”, has become the standard in the United States for lift operators. However, children under the age of five, in any number, always ski free at Steamboat. The general way to buy lift tickets is to buy them for one day at a time. However, if travelers are sure to ski continuously for many days, they should accept offers such as five-day or ten-day booking plans that offer free days of skiing. Unless otherwise specified, multi-day tickets are intended to be used on consecutive days and will not transfer past the date.
In addition to purchasing Steamboat Springs ski tickets after arrival, they can be reserved online. The city’s official ski coupon website and many other online travel agencies offer this service. Pre-booking also guarantees great discounts and bargains for the traveler. On average, an adult can access the lifts and ski slopes for approximately $55 per day in the off-season and $75 per day at peak times.
