re: Steamboat Springs skiing

If you're looking for quality blue slopes, your best bet is the top of the mountain coming down "Tomahawk". Also the blue slope right under the gondola is called "Heavenly Daze" and its one of the more difficult blues, feels closer to a black.

I'f you're going for views and a really scenic and fun ski, start with some greens at the top and ski through some Aspen trees(not as difficult as it sounds). Then when u get down to the gondola level, I usually would ski down "Why Not", it's got some good views, its really long and windey and has a lot of cool little short cuts carved out by other skiers along the whole trail. It's been 8 years since I've been there but I'd assume it's pretty much the same.
