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.
We request that you dress in formal attire for the wedding reception and ceremony. This includes suit and tie for men (tuxedos are welcome, but not required), and gowns for women. Weather permitting, the reception and cocktail hour will be held outdoors so please dress accordingly.
We kindly request an adults-only celebration. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have questions on this!
Please arrive by 5:00pm for a prompt 5:30pm start. Please also take into account that the gondola ride takes 10 minutes to get to the ceremony site.
To access the venue, go to the base area of the Steamboat ski hill (Timber & Torch is a good landmark to map to). The gondola will be running exclusively to bring guests to the ceremony and reception site.
The Gondola Square Parking Garage at the Steamboat base are will be your best bet.
