Werner, Sunshine Peak, Storm Peak, Thunderhead Peak, Pioneer Ridge® and Christie Peak. 2,965 acres (1200 hectares) of permitted terrain offer a diversity of trails for all levels of ability.

Steamboat's terrain park, serviced exclusively by its own chairlift features terrain for all ability levels spread over 11.8 acres, an outdoor sound system, professional designed rails and several jumps.In addiiton, Mini-Mavs, a miniature version of the big superpipe with ten-foot walls, perfect for novice riders lies just around the corner in Rabbit Ears Park.
