Steamboat Expert Ski Terrain
Toughest Ski Trails at Steamboat
Most of the toughest ski terrain at Steamboat is located on the highest part of the mountain; near the summit of Mt. Werner. A lot of this terrain is easily accessed from the top of the Morningside Liftline. This area has several steep chutes and gladed runs that are all extremely steep.
The Christmas Tree Bowl and Chutes 1-3 can be skied without any traversing or hiking. The East side of the Christmas Tree Bowl and the terrain beyond that will require a mild hike; you can usually just leave your skis on and skate up a groomed traverse path.
The photos above and below were taken while looking up between Chute #3 and the Christmas Tree Bowl.
