Inn at Steamboat - Colorado
$256 - Two Nights Accomodations for Two! Includes Daily Breakfast, 30% Discount on Ski/Snowboard Rentals and Tune-Ups at Fleischer Sport *PLUS* a $100 Goodie Bag! ($546 Value)
The winter Olympics may be more than two years away, but it's never too early to start training. And you're already on your way to victory with this week's medal-worthy Escape to the Rocky Mountains.
Go for the gold at the Inn at Steamboat with a standard guest room for two (ONLY $256). With easy direct flights from major cities like Dallas and NYC, Steamboat is a mecca for skiers from both the East and West Coast. Upon arrival, you and your plus one will receive a goody bag with things you'll need for the slopes: a ski hat, hand warmers, ChapStick, and a signed photograph of two-time Olympic downhill racer, Chad Fleischer (for inspiration, of course).
Drop your skis or snowboard off for a discounted tune-up with the pros at Fleischer Sport, or use the included discount toward ski or snowboard rentals. Then you can unwind with a Warren Miller DVD on your flat-screen TV, and sleep like a champion on your pillow-top mattress with 310-thread-count linens.
After breakfast the next morning, have the shuttle service drop you at the gondola, located only four blocks from the property. Once you take a few turns in the cloud-like snow, you'll see why the area has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America. The resort, aptly named "Ski Town, U.S.A.", boasts six peaks and 2,965 acres of skiing terrain.
End a day of skiing with a cocktail by the crackling fireplace before taking a dip in the outdoor heated pool or hot tub. Afterward, keep the torch lit with dinner at Café Diva, featuring local cuisine and an extensive wine list. Start with the crab and tomato bisque before indulging in Colorado meat or fish, prepared using inventive and seasonal ingredients.
