Most winter visitors fly into
Yampa Valley Airport

Rabbit Ears Pass
, or take the Alpine Taxi shuttle direct from Denver International Airport (tel 970/879-8294 or 1-800/343-7433; $60). Visitor information is at 1255 Lincoln Ave, two miles east of downtown (Mon-Sat 9am-6pm, also Sun 9am-6pm during peak times in summer and winter; tel 970/879-0880,

Azteca Taqueria
, 402 Lincoln Ave (tel 970/870-9980), has great inexpensive Mexican takeout; for a casual atmosphere and deli-bakery delights try
Winona's

Antares
, 57-and-a-third 8th St (tel 970/879-9939), is one of Steamboat's very best, serving an eclectic range of fish and meat dishes. If you've got money to spare, try the delicious dinner at
