STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO-November 7, 2008-Back in 1914, you could make it here by train.

With the 2008/2009 season just weeks away and temperatures and snow falling; so are winter airfares into Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A.
"With snow already falling on the slopes combined with amazing vacation packages; and now, unheard of airfares on Continental; it’s shaping up to be a season you don’t want to miss," said Rob Perlman, vice president of sales & marketing for the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation. "With so much going on the in the world today, it’s never been more important to reconnect, rejuvenate and reinvigorate with your family and friends."

In addition, Continental will operate extra Saturday operations throughout key segments of the season.
"Texas is one of Steamboat’s top destination markets in the country," continued Perlman. "Continental’s special fares enable more than five million guests from the greater Houston metropolitan region, the 6th largest in the United States, to take advantage of the most conveniently accessed ski resort community in Colorado."
