Steamboat

The Mavericks Superpipe is claimed to be the longest on the continent—it has 15-foot (4.6-m) walls, is 48 feet (14.6 m) wide and is 650 feet (198 m) long. As if that wasn't enough, there's a 50-foot (15.2-m) quarterpipe at the end. The terrain park, SoBE, is spread accross 11.8 acres (4.8 hectares), is serviced by its own chairlift and has an outdoor sound system. A 250-foot (76-m) beginner pipe, Mini Mav, is located here along with rails and jumps for intermediates and experts.

Mount Werner to Sunshine Peak
Away from the park, the well-groomed open pistes at Mount Werner down to Sunshine Peak have a variety of trails to tempt carvers. Start with the Morningside Lift to the Morningside Bowl and head off from there—there are several demanding black diamond and intermediate trails. This is also the exit point via an access gate to backcountry options with steep north-facing slopes and quite open terrain. Steamboat has plenty of north-facing slopes that provide good, high-speed, tree-lined trails. With limited catwalks and one base area, Steamboat ski area is easy for snowboarders to get around.
