Overview and highlights:

Steamboat Springs is one of the friendliest settings for small to mid-sized meetings in Colorado and is easily accessible by air or car.

"Visitors like how in Steamboat, they experience much more than just their condo and the pool," says Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president for the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association.

Steamboat has two hubs sitting just two miles apart: The historic downtown, where Lincoln Avenue (Steamboat's main street) parallels the Yampa River, and "the mountain village," where the resort area snuggles against the foot of 10,568-foot Mt. Werner. The meeting planners and event coordinators at Steamboat ensure your group gets the benefit of both worlds.

>> With 17 meeting rooms ranging from 270 to 6,300 square feet in size, the ski-in, ski-out Sheraton Steamboat Resort offers state-of-the-art conference facilities-slopeside.
