The miniscule town of Clark, encompassing the property, is near the mammoth Steamboat ski area which was a ranching town before it became Colorado's first ski resort, Howelson Hill, in 1913. Steamboat's slopes are the first barrier in northern Colorado to storms arriving from the Pacific. The slopes catch as much as 260 inches of snow in one month.
Steamboat is a great mountain for intermediate skiers.
Billy Kidd is the former world-champion skier and the pro at Steamboat. Ranch Activities in Winter Ranch activities in the winter relate primarily to snow.
