Welcome to Steamboat Springs - Ski Town USA

This year's VOS 2009 Conference is at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Ski Town USA. Seven thousand feet up in the Colorado Rockies, nestled quietly below one of the largest ski mountains in North America, sits a small ranching community that serves as a constant reminder that the Old West is alive and well. Never far from its ranching roots, Steamboat remains firmlylinked to a Western tradition that sets it apart from every other ski resort in the world.

Steamboat is known around the globe simply as Ski Town, U.S.A. and has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America, now a record 69 and counting. Including the 20 Steamboat athletes competing at the 2006 Games, Steamboat's Olympians have represented five different countries, and made 120 Olympic appearances during 16 Winter Games.

And long before people strapped on skis for fun, Steamboat residents in the late 1800's were using ski and snowshoes in their daily lives. In fact, Steamboat Springs recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary. You'll be hard pressed to find another resort town that exudes this much history, heritage and character. Come see for yourself why Steamboat continues to hold a special place in the hearts of so many people.
