Please read on for more details.

Location & Attractions:
There is so much to do and see in downtown, and it changes seasonally. In the winter you have the local ski area, Howelsen Hill, right across the river. Howelsen Hill is part of Emerald Mountain, a city park and North America's oldest operating ski area, and Steamboat's Olympian training ground. You have a view of it from the condo's balcony. Featured at Howelsen Hill are miles of trails for Nordic / cross country skiing, alpine skiing & snowboarding, snowshoeing, snow tubing, and a free sledding hill. In summertime, Howelsen Hill / Emerald Mountain transforms and offers an array of activities, including "The Howler" alpine slide, horseback rides, skate park, BMX track, hiking & mountain biking trails, baseball fields, volleyball courts, tennis & pickleball courts, playgrounds, and more. Summertime in Steamboat means downtown has weekend farmer's markets, rodeos, parades, car shows, free concerts, fishing and river tubing, exploring the Yampa Valley Core Trail or one of the many biking or hiking trails that originate in downtown, athletic events and competitions, the list goes on and on. Year round, the Old Town Hot Springs is open, with mineral water hot springs, fitness & wellness programs, even a climbing wall and waterslides. Also year round, the indoor ice rink offers inexpensive free skate sessions as well as bumper cars on ice. Steamboat has loads of great restaurants and shops to enjoy, and nearly all of them are downtown. So take your pick and it will be a short walk from this condo. Nightlife is also close, but not too close. Here are some of the key attractions & distances from the condo:
