Hey, I lived in Steamboat breifly nice town. My brother lived there 15 years. The outdoors are awesome in that area. Hunting, skiing, kayaking, fishing, etc.. The town is one of the nicest in Coloaro. That being said there are alot things that are'nt so great. One being the rich trust funder type of people that have moved in and pushed their views on others. The City slicker's that move their and think everyone is friendly. I guess perception is 9/10's of a person's view. To me they're pretty pretentious especially the people that move there with money. The price of homes their are way over priced. The economy does not overcome the cost of living which is very high. Most people that live their are city slickers that like to do city slicker sports, skiing, kayaking, rock climbing. Real sportsman hunt, don't fly fish (fad), and own guns. The ranchers are cool, but others are not. That is the original ranchers, not the rich city slickers that bot a ranch and hired someone else to run it. If you can put up with the yuppy's and high price of everything you'll probably like it. Oh yeah the divorce rate in Steamboat is sky high!
