skisteamboat replied to Paula McNabb's discussion Altitude Adjustment" As the others have noted, Steamboat is at a lower altitude than most western ski resorts, there is much less of a problem with Altitude Sickness.
Stay hydrated, relax the first day (or two), go easy on the alcohol and you should be fine. Since…"
Mesa replied to Paula McNabb's discussion Altitude Adjustment"Agree w/ Michele's recommendations. I would also suggest taking it easy the day of your arrival and skiing only a half day on your first full day here. I wouldn't suggest the oxygen cans. They're unnecessary, …"
