The snow will fall, and the ride will be sweet, but if you’re looking for more adventure on your own two feet, Steamboat Springs can’t be beat. All rhymes aside, Steamboat Springs offers so much more than world-class skiing and riding. So, while you wait for those fluffy flakes to fly or that perfect bluebird day, check out some of the other great local spots to get your adventure on.
Those looking to get that rugged mountain feeling while visiting should look no further than Timber Axe Throwing Lounge. Book one of their eight dedicated throwing lanes for a casual and fun round of play. Don’t miss out on their competitive options as well.
Just around the corner from the axe-throwing is the local favorite, Snow Bowl Steamboat. With traditional bowling options and a calendar full of live music and fun, this is one bowling alley you won’t want to miss. They have something for everyone, even the foodie in your group! Check out their menu for delicious snacks the whole family can enjoy while knocking down pins.
Fans of pickleball won’t be disappointed in any season by a stop at the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex. Boasting multiple indoor pickleball courts and a well-appointed pro shop, visitors can enjoy renting courts by-the-hour and any gear they may need. Don’t miss out on the newly renovated tennis center either! A great place to work up a sweat, even when you aren’t making turns on the mountain.
Bring some calming energy into your vacation with a stop at Out Here Yoga. The hottest spot (literally) around to get your flow on. Offering floor-to-ceiling views of Mount Werner while you move through heated power-based vinyasa classes or toasty recovery style yoga, Out Here Yoga will have you coming back for more. Check out their “A Week Out Here” pass for visitors to get the most out of their Steamboat stay.
Keep the calm mind and calm body going with a visit to Revolve, a recovery studio offering multiple modalities for everyone. Their centrally located space right off Angler’s Drive gives you a chance to slow down and recover in style. Be sure to check out their red-light bed for the best 15-minute rest of your visit.
If the outdoors are calling, take yourself out to Lakeside Sauna Club for another great opportunity to take care of your mind and body. Enjoy their woodfire saunas on the banks of Stagecoach Reservoir, and when you’re ready, hop into the water for a refreshing cold plunge. They offer 1 and 2-hour sessions as well as private bookings. Don’t miss out; this is absolutely making the highlight reel of your vacation.
Once you’re relaxed and re-energized, head over to Howelsen Ice Arena for a little bit of fun. Try out their bumper cars on ice for a great family bonding moment, or stop by for open skate to try out your sliding skills. If outdoor skating is more your vibe, check out Skeeter’s Ice Rink at the base of Steamboat Resort. Rental skates are available at both locations.
Whether on snow, ice, or a toasty sauna seat, visiting Steamboat Springs won’t disappoint. With so many options for individuals, couples and families, Steamboat Springs is the ideal place to play with or without your skis!
