Will the altitude bother me?
The city of Steamboat sits at 6,732 feet and while it is lower compared to other ski towns across the state, altitude can be an issue for some coming to town from sea level. Upon arriving to town and for the first 24-36 hours, drink plenty of water, limit alchohol comsuption and take ibuprofen if needed for a headache (often the first sign of altitude sickness). Take it easy and seek medical attention if needed.

How often are the roads plowed and are they well maintained?
Road maintenance is often a 24-hour job in Colorado. Around town, you will rarely find a road with more than a couple inches on it as the city and county are very well prepared for all winter weather conditions. However, conditions can vary greatly even in small trips, so don’t be surprised to encounter all four seasons driving just from Hayden to Steamboat. Four wheel drive is highly recommended on any rental car from November - April. The best website for real time updates is http://www.cotrip.org where you can find everything from highway webcams, road conditions, to maintenance work and accident reports. For more information on winter driving conditions please visit Winter Driving Information.
