Best Cross Country Ski Resorts in Colorado

This is Colorado cross-country skiing at its absolute best. Every winter, our Relais & Chateaux dude ranch transforms into a beautiful ski lodge and cabin retreat and becomes one of the best cross country ski resorts in North America. A short drive from Steamboat Ski Area, but a timeless world away from the condos and crowds, The Home Ranch is an idyllic, all inclusive winter vacation playground with 30 km of exceptional Nordic, Skate, Classic, Backcountry Skiing and Snowshoeing opportunities right on our doorstep, and a host of exciting winter vacation activities for every member of your family. 

Ski In Ski Out Cabins and Ski Lodge

When you book your cross country ski vacation at The Home Ranch, you can walk out the front door anywhere on our property, smile at the mountains, and start skiing. Ski out the front door of one of our eight charming cabins or six lodge rooms onto 30 km of diverse terrain and groomed Nordic trails, or head out into the million-acre backcountry of the Routt National Forest with your own ski guide. Come back home to enjoy a soak in your private hot tub and ponder your next Nordic adventure or gourmet meal. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or an Olympian, we’ve got the guides, gear and trails for an unforgettable cross country ski vacation.

Steamboat Skiing and Delightful Winter Activities For The Whole Family

If Nordic skiing is not your cup of tea, we’ve got winter vacation activities, on or off our ranch, to suit every member of your family. Would you rather go downhill skiing or snowboarding? If you want to hit the slopes in Steamboat or hang out in Ski Town USA, we've got free shuttles and drivers to take you to Steamboat (or to shop for a new Stetson in town.) We'll even pack your gourmet lunch, drop you off, and pick you up when you are ready to come home for an exceptional dinner.

Other Winter Vacation Activities Include Snowshoeing, Sleigh Rides, Sledding, Tubing, Horseback Riding, Fly Fishing, Snowmobiling or Dogsledding

If you prefer snowshoeing to skiing, or would rather try winter horseback riding or a sleigh ride across our snowy meadow, we are happy to oblige. If you'd like to try a unique off ranch adventure with one of our outfitters, we are happy to arrange Winter Fly Fishing excursions to the Yampa River or an exciting Dogsledding adventure, a guest favorite.
