FAQs

Question

What altitude will we be at?

Answer

Steamboat Springs is at 6,695 feet above sea level, and Thunderhead Lodge where the ceremony will be is at 9,080 feet. The best way to prep for altitude is to hydrate aggressively the week before you come out. While at altitude, take it slow if you feel lightheaded or sick. Canned oxygen can be a quick way to get relief if you need it. There are staff onsite that can help you if the altitude affects you negatively.
