Steamboat Colorado is a top ski resorts for families, and the fun increases even more from Friday January 16 to Monday January 18 2009, with a Family Snow Festival.

Fun includes: Western BBQ at the top of the Gondola; music tent; performances by Smash Mouth (think "I'm a Believer" from the Shrek movie); Mini Bounce; international stations in Gondola Square (visit and fill your Steamboat passport.).

Steamboat is located 157 miles northwest of Denver, and has its own airport, 22 miles away, with non-stop flights from eight major cities. Visitors like that Steamboat has less crowds and hype than some other Colorado ski resorts.
