Fantastic Airfares to Steamboat!

The Steamboat Ski Area has announced Delta Airlines will be offering special airfares from New York-LaGuardia and Atlanta for $119 each way, based on roundtrip purchase to Steamboat. If you live in these areas and are thinking about a winter vacation; this would certainly be an economical way to get here! With the inflated costs of baggage you might want to consider renting equipment. The rental shops are increasing their inventory this year with the expectation more people will decide to rent. Also, you might want to consider the concierge services where you can get your boots and skis/snowboards fitted right in your lodging the night before. This definitely would make it easier in the morning and give you more time on the slopes!
