About the Mountain |
|
Steamboat is actually a
complete mountain range: Mount Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak,
Thunderhead Peak, Pioneer Ridge® and Christie Peak. 2,965
acres (1200 hectares) of permitted terrain offer a diversity of
trails for all levels of ability. Mavericks Superpipe is a
freerider's dream. The SoBe
terrain park adjacent to Mavericks, features a variety of rails; kinked, sliders, rainbows, "S",
mailboxes, double barrel, and Mini-Mav, a miniature version of the
superpipe with five-foot walls, perfect for novice riders.
Gladed areas of Pioneer Ridge, Sunshine and Storm Peak are
Steamboat's particular claim to fame, with Champagne Powder snow in
the trees for the most avid powder hounds. |
