If you can stow your skis next to the Gondola the Highmark would be the way to go for a grand less.
The walk across the street to the ski base area is easy. Drop your skis off at the end of the day step into the Gondola Pub and Grill for apre ski ...
Thanks everyone for the input. Man, the Bear Claw sure does look nice and rolling out the back door onto the slopes after a long night sure is tempting. I am a big fan of ski in out (who isn't :-P ). It sounds like from y'all that the Highmark isn...
Here is Bear Claws site.

Sounds like the price is a good deal, including the Shuttle to/from the airport. I would probably choose the Highmark for location, close to the free bus stop, etc. unless ski in/out is a "must have". Even with their very checkered past it is prob...
Bear Claw will offer awesome convenience with direct ski in/out but is not as convenient to the base area retail and restaurants as the Highmark. If you're priority is sliding right out on the snow over walking across the street to a bar or the gr...
I can't tell you what great location bear claw is re: ski in and out. If this is important to you then I would push for bear claw
I was at Bear Claw 2 years ago. For me Ski in/out is VERY important. Of all the places I have stayed at Steambboat, Bear Claw is my favorite.
That is what I love about the internet and a site like this is you get a "real" local opinion rather than some internet or biased magazine review. We are torn between this and Bear Claw but being all guys would like a little more elbow room which ...
Highmark is across the street from LaMontana and Market on the Mountain grocery and liquors which may be convenient and a short walk to the ski base. It is new and the rooms are luxury. If you are on an upper level floor you could have some great ...
It's had an extremely checkered history - problems with the original development, lawsuits and an inability to sell the completed condos, even during the 'boom', led to it's reinvention as a 'hotel' last year. I don't think it's reinvention has be...
Great location. Lobby looks nice as I drive by. Don't know anything else about it.

Thanks all!
I checked with a friend of mine who has thrown a party or two before. This is what she said:
"Tell them to check out Central Park Liquor. They don’t advertise delivery like they used to but I bet they still do if it is a decent-sized order."
Discount Liquors at 500 S Lincoln (US 40, main street in downtown) lists kegs and "party packages". See their listing in Dex Knows:

Anyplace in town sell beer by the keg, rent taps and deliver? A bunch of us are coming for a ski trip in Feb and all my online searching has came up with nothin....

The kids get inside and outside playtime mixed in with beginning ski work. The kids center has been completely remodeled for this year. Some of the kids KVC people may upgrade my remarks as that is not my department and I am short on details for y...
do you know if the deli/market will be open Christmas eve after 5pm the one that is close by the Lodge?
We are a fan of the Lodge at Steamboat as well. Returning for our second year in December. Agree the statement regarding the dated decor, although I did notice some units that had been updated. The units are very accessible to parking and the outd...
I don't think there are indoor pools in Steamboat. At least, not that I know of near the ski area. And there are no theme hotels, a la the Smugglers hotels in the Northeast. The Sheraton Hotel & Condos has been the best bar none logistically speak...
Hi! My husband and I are avid skiers and we are trying to figure out the best way to intro our 3 year old to winter activities/skiing. We understand he is a bit young, but I was wondering about the "buckeroo" program. It sounds like a lot of playi...
