With Spring in full force in Steamboat, the number of people in town has slowly dwindled. Spring Break starts for most of the Steamboat Schools after the bell rings tomorrow. I wonder if there will be anyone left in town after that? That, along with the fact that taxes are due today, could be seen as a real downer... But, if you've never experienced shoulder season or "mud season" as the locals will call it, you really are missing out on the true small town experience. Here's why you will love it...
Traffic is gone!
No waiting at restaurants, bars, post office, etc...
The core trail is open and you will definitely meet someone you know if you're out walking it.
Fishing the Yampa!
The Golf course in Craig is open
The BEST deals in the valley go on during mud season:
Mambos Italiano has the best happy hour with $1 beers
8th Street Steak House has the best dinner with $2.99 night
Old Town Pub has burger night on Thursdays
Tap House wing night is not as crowded as it is the rest of the year
Sidewalk Sales bring out amazing deals
So, if you're around town and feeling lonely, take a moment to think about how lucky you are to be here - even if everyone else is in Mexico. This is our paradise and for the moment, we can enjoy it in peace. I would encourage anyone who hasn't experienced a "mud season" to come for a visit (or stick around if you already live here) and enjoy the true laid-back nature of Steamboat in the springtime.
If you're in town and would like to see some Real Estate, give us a call. We would love the company!
Sincerely,
