Ski Report for Steamboat, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Steamboat, Colorado
Steamboat's firing right now, and if you're thinking about making the drive up to Mt. Werner, here's what you need to know before you head up.
The mountain's currently running 84 open trails out of 183 total, with 15 lifts spinning across 23 available. That's a solid lineup for late March, though the season's definitely winding down. Season-to-date, Steamboat's accumulated an impressive 155 inches of snow from October through now, which sits nicely against the resort's average annual snowfall of 282 inches.
Right now it's mostly sunny at the base around 47 degrees, though it's considerably colder up top at the summit hovering around 33 to 34 degrees. Don't let that partly sunny forecast fool you though—the National Weather Service is calling for snow showers today with 1 to 3 inches of new snow possible, so conditions could get interesting quick. Winds are pretty mellow at around 2 mph currently, so visibility should be solid for cruising.
Looking ahead over the next several days, expect snow showers to continue through Wednesday with another 1 to 3 inches possible each day. Thursday shapes up with snow showers likely after mid-morning, then things start clearing out by Friday through the weekend. High temperatures are bouncing between the mid-20s to high 30s over the next five days, which actually works in your favor for keeping that base solid and preserving corn cycles if you're hunting spring conditions.
The resort's got 43 groomed runs showing at 36 percent, so the corduroy's being worked regularly. If you're thinking about venturing into the backcountry or off-piste terrain, definitely check the local avalanche risk level first—the snow's been adding up and stability conditions deserve respect this time of year.
This is prime time for spring skiing at Steamboat, especially if you can time it right after these next couple snow days and before it really warms up. The reliable powder reputation this place has definitely lives up to the hype.
