Winter sports enthusiasts flock to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, a spot that is typically blessed with an abundant blanketing of low-moisture snow. Steamboat still proudly celebrates both its ranching tradition and winter sports legacy — sometimes in the same event, like the annual Cowboy Downhill, where pro rodeo riders race on skis. At the Steamboat Art Museum, located in a 1905 sandstone-and-brick former bank, rotating exhibits depict Western culture and heritage. The ski area east of town, where nearly 3,000 acres spill off six peaks, has undergone a host of improvements, but there are still no private mountain clubs, and the best place for après-ski is in a repurposed patrol shack. On the Yampa River Core Trail — usually snow-covered in winter — you might even spot a moose (keep your distance!) or a bald eagle scouting for fish.
