Steamboat Springs is a unique destination because the weather is nearly perfect year round. The word “perfect” as it is used doesn’t mean that it is always warm, nor does it mean that there is little precipitation. In fact, perfect during the winter months means that the temperatures stay below freezing and it often snows in large amounts. In the summer however, perfect means that the sun is almost always shining, and rain rarely ruins a day.
