Steamboat Springs, Colorado

We loved our time at Steamboat, a ski resort renowned for its ‘powder’ snow.  Another place we may have to revisit in the winter!  We stayed in a friend’s condo, which was very generous.  It was huge, perhaps as big as our house and we all relished the extra space.

The condo was in a great location, with views of the ski slopes or the grassy hills as in our case.   There was also a large hot tub which we frequented most afternoons and Luke’s confidence around water has improved dramatically.

Downtown Steamboat was really pretty and they had a free bus service around the whole town.  The bus stop was about 200 metres from the condo, it was perfect.

There was also an amazing outdoor swimming pool/gym complex.  It is called the Old Town Hot Springs, as the 8 swimming pools are fed by hot springs.  I think they actually have to cool the lap pool down.  It’s a fantastic complex; they also have 2 big waterslides and also a toddler water park, with small slides and little water fountains.  The kids loved it, as did Rich and I.



We farewelled Steamboat after 10 super days and hit the road headed for the East Coast.
