Over the Hill Gang

Steamboat offers guided skiing for anyone over the age of 50 at no charge, Sundays through Fridays, throughout the season.
Steamboat's Over the Hill Gang has created a ski program that is the only one of it's kind in the country. The relaxed, friendly format offered at Steamboat is open to anyone, and you do not have to be a member of O.T.H.G. in order to participate.
Let our guides show you the best of Steamboat from a local's point of view! We'll take all the guesswork out of finding the best runs and snow as you enjoy skiing with a group of similar ability. Guided skiing allows you to enjoy the camaraderie of a group of people from diverse and interesting backgrounds as you get the most out of your day.

What Level Skier Should I Be?
You should be an intermediate skier or above, able to comfortably ski blue runs. The group size varies from one or two people to 8 or more. When there are enough people present to provide several groups of different ability, group leaders will be added. The pace is geared toward your abilities. Rest breaks for hot chocolate and mountain stops to enjoy the scenery or to perhaps hear a little local history are all part of the day.
