Hey folks. Longtime lurker here looking for some Steamboat knowledge. Covid issues notwithstanding, I am hoping that a late winter/early spring is in the cards for me. Normally, I'm an SLC guy. It's easy, affordable, great mountains, great snow, etc. That said, I'm a Southwest Airlines guy and recent schedule changes have removed all but one BWI-SLC non stops. At the same time, Southwest has added Hayden as a seasonal destination. For me, it would require a stop in Denver, so, all things being equal, I now am required to deal with a connection.
Steamboat has always been on my radar, but, the travel/location has always scared me off. This is no longer the case. Food, lodging, etc. I'm cool with managing. Is there anything mountain related that is super great or super not-so-great? I have read of the powder and trees, but, I can get that in spades in LCC, BCC, and Snowbasin.
If it's a push, Steamboat would be the winner based solely on adding another area to my resume.
Thanks in advance for any info.
