A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
The town has become a woke mecca with Gay Pride flags, events, etc. everywhere. It is no longer the "Western Town" it once was. Very very pricy, 90% liberal democrat, huge taxes on visitors, ridiculous climate change requirements and all hail LBGTQ all year long. Wife and I looking to move soonest.

This was a great resort. Now is horrendous at weekends due to Ikon Pass. Lines at antiquated "high speed" chairs are often 25 minutes wait. Management sees resort as a cash cow, ridiculous price of day ticket, unbelievable prices for ski storage, food costs, with skiing experience way down their priority list. They cannot get staff as they pay them a pittance. As a result lifts often do not open and grooming standards have plummeted.

Great terrain. Needs to flow better - easily congested

Among the best resorts in the country

Again, this is a great family, friendly mountain where you can jump from one lift to another all day long and never pay attention to the map. Just spend your time, enjoying the mountain and avoiding lift lines.

I have skied for over 50 years and this is the only place I have walked away from after 2 runs. Crowded and the vast majority of the mountain was closed because of wind. Thank goodness I have the IKON pass and didn’t pay for lodging, parking or a day pass. Felt sorry for anyone there on vacation. Waste of money. And they don’t care.

Have a young family (6, 8, and 18 y/o's) pretty low intermediate skiiers. Been to PC, Beaver Creek before.... Steamboat was easily the best all around family mountain we visited!

Conditions improved after snowstorms arrived in the region. On mountain lodges are poorly placed and base remains crowded despite second gondola installation. Excessive crowds at top, too, where Wild Blue, Sundown, and Sunshine unload. Snow conditions quickly skied off. Very limited terrain for experts. Chutes to East Face are only extreme challenge and for just a short portion at those runs. The mountain offers a full complement of intermediate experiences from groomers to moguls to glades.
Shitty Resort
Waited in line for hours.
