At 7,000 Feet, Altitude Sickness is Real Steamboat Springs, Colorado is at 6,728 ft. elevation and the top of the ski area is 10,568 ft..

Ski Town, USA Gone to the Dogs   We all know that Steamboat Springs, CO is an amazing place to live and play. It's called Ski Town, USA and Bike Town, USA for good reason. But now Dog Town, USA? What's next? Steamboat Springs was appropriately trademarked Ski Town USA for its World Class skiing facilities and loads of fresh champagne powder. National Geographic named The 'Boat, as locals affectionately refer to it, as one of the World's 25 Best Ski Towns.  Not to mention more winter Olympians, 79 to be exact, call Steamboat Springs their hometown - more than any other town in the US.

Steamboat Springs Market Report for June, 2013 Routt County / Steamboat Springs, Colorado Another decent month for Steamboat Springs real estate.  The second best month of 2013. But compared to last June, this month was down by -28.99% from June 2012.  The Year to Date gross volume picture is a little brighter  up +7.57% over last year’s gross at the end of the second quarter.  On a transaction basis, June was only slightly down by -0.92%, while the Year to Date is up +14.26%. In Steamboat, sales are up, sold properties are up, but so is the inventory. Thus, we might be seeing a steadying of prices. With an increase in inventory, absorption rate slows down and prices mightnot go up as fast as we thought.  This slow down is also being felt across the country. Click here to view a CNN art... 08/01/2013

Fly Fishing Rubber Hatch in Steamboat Springs, Colorado In fly fishing, one talks about "matching the hatch." Matching the hatch means you select the right artificial fly to match the natural flies that are in the area and what the fish are eating at the time.  During the summer months in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, it's rather predictable that during the hot month of the summer, the "rubber hatch" will be going off - rubber meaning tubes. That's my buddy Bobby working both the hatches. Now this "rubber hatch" is a term the Steamboat fly fishing people say when the tubers are out.
