Steamboat Springs

Steamboat Springs is a mix of older architecture and newer resort developments, especially near the ski resort on the eastern edge of town.The City of Steamboat Springs is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Routt County, Colorado, United States. The city known as "Steamboat," "The Boat," or "Ski Town USA" had a population of 9,815 at the U.S. Census 2000. The town is an internationally known winter resort destination and has two Sister Cities outside the United States, reflected in the fact that the speed limit signs through the primary tourist routes atypically display the limits in both miles and kilometers per hour. The Steamboat Springs tourism industry is highlighted by the Steamboat Ski Resort, which is on Mount Werner in the Park Range just east of the town. It also contains the much smaller Howelsen Ski Area. It is located in the upper valley of the Yampa River, along U.S. Highway 40 just west of the Continental Divide at Rabbit Ears Pass.
