About Powder Pursuits
Powder Pursuits is a family-owned ski and snowboard shop located at street level of the Steamboat Grand hotel, just steps from the gondola. With over 30 years of experience, they offer a curated selection of rental and demo packages alongside on-site storage, making them an ideal grab-and-go option for guests staying near the mountain base.
The Steamboat Grand location puts Powder Pursuits within a two-minute walk of the gondola base, which is as close as any rental shop gets to the lifts. For Grand hotel guests, it is literally an elevator ride away. The on-site storage option means you can leave your gear at the shop after the last run and walk to dinner without hauling skis through the village — then pick everything up fresh the next morning on your way to the gondola. It is a small convenience, but over a week-long trip it adds up to a noticeably more relaxed vacation.
The rental fleet is deliberately curated rather than massive. Powder Pursuits carries sport and performance ski packages alongside demo options featuring current-season models from top manufacturers. Snowboard packages cover all-mountain and freestyle setups, and junior equipment is well-maintained and available in a full size range. The family-owned atmosphere means the staff take time with each fitting rather than processing guests as fast as possible, and their three decades of Steamboat experience translate to genuine advice about which runs to ski based on conditions, your ability, and what kind of day you are looking for. For guests staying at or near the Steamboat Grand who want premium equipment, personal service, and the convenience of slopeside storage without the scale of a multi-location chain, Powder Pursuits is the right fit.
