Steamboat To Open For Summer Memorial Day Weekend

Summer at Steamboat begins earlier than ever with the mountain opening for the season Memorial Day weekend. The resort will be open weekends, including Memorial Day, with access to gondola rides, Adventure Zone activities, the Outlaw Mountain Coaster and dining at Gondola Joe’s and Oasis Sundeck at the top of Thunderhead Peak. Daily operations begin June 15, including the opening of the Steamboat Bike Park and Hazie’s night dining.

Adventure Zone season pass

The Adventure Zone season pass for $199 offers users of any age daily access to the resort’s activities, including mini-golf, summer tubing, climbing wall, Water Walkerz and gondola rides. The pass also includes two daily rides on the Outlaw Mountain Coaster.  Adventure Zone passes can be purchased online or at the Steamboat Ticket Office. Adventure Zone passholders will need to visit the Steamboat Ticket Office for a wristband prior to accessing activities.

Bike Park Pedal Pass

The new Bike Park Pedal Pass allows uphill riders to access downhill trails in the Steamboat Bike Park when descending the mountain. The $49 pass does not include gondola access but offers discounted day tickets to the passholder for lift-assisted access to the park. All Bike Park users must have a valid Bike Park season pass, Bike Park Pedal Pass or Bike Park day ticket to access the downhill trails at any time. Multi-use trails will continue to be available to users without a pass. For more details on the new Bike Park Pedal Pass, visit the Summer Bike Pass page.

Restaurant updates

The resort’s snowcat food truck, the Taco Beast, will make its debut this summer in Gondola Square serving trail tacos, the resort’s version of street tacos, from 11 a.m. until the Adventure Zone closes for the day. Construction on the new Timber & Torch restaurant, which replaces Bear River Bar & Grill, began April 16. The restaurant and BBQ will be closed for the summer season, and the Umbrella Bar will serve guests beginning in July.
