Winter Mountain Biking in Steamboat Springs, CO

By
Real Estate Agent with The Steamboat Group

It may not be a great snow year in Steamboat but sometimes that is a chance to appreciate a place for more that it's marquee attraction.  The snow is better than most of the state but not quite what we are used to after several epic years that have made our powder dreams a reality.  

  We along with quite a few other locals have been mountain biking up Emerald Mountain this winter not just on the roads which is often possible but on some of our best single track.  If you wonder how we are on our normal mountain bikes with just a bit of air taken out of the tires.  The snow have been friendly with a great tacky quality to it and we have had a blast.  

  The ride up is great practice since you do need to stay on the narrow trail, the exercise feels good and the downhills on MGM, Mollys, Lupine and others are downright fun.  Living in Steamboat is great even when the snow isn't because there is always something fun and off the beaten path so to speak that you can find to do. If you would like to talk about the secrets that make it great to live here or see if Life in Steamboat might be a fit for you just give me a call. 970-879-0879.  I'll listen to your questions then give you honest answers so you can make a great decision for you.

Jon - Mountain biking in the snow must be a bit of challenge ..... I suppose it would be much like biking on hard packed sand dunes as long aas it is fairly hard and not too deep

Kathy,  I was surprisingly easy as long as you stayed on the packed part of singletrack.

Jon,

Thiis looks like a lot of fun and very invigorating.  I am assuming that the tires grip well. A

Thanks, we have had a great time biking and snow has been nice and tacky, you just have to stay on the packed trail because you stop quickly if you stray too far
