Our free mountain tours are a fun, stress free way to familiarize yourself with the terrain while learning about Steamboat’s history. Take advantage of our free on mountain clinic with Olympic Silver Medalist and World Champion Billy Kidd for some pointers and a run down Heavenly Daze, or learn to ski the moguls with Olympic Medalist and World Champion Nelson Carmichael. If someone in your group doesn’t ski or ride or you have a day off, join our Ambassador staff for a guided snowshoe tour at the top of the gondola.

Please notify your group coordinator at least one week in advance if large numbers of guests will be attending these free events, so we can staff accordingly.
