Fish Creek Perimeter Run Map

The Fish Creek area is a legendary side-country canyon parallel to Steamboat Resort. It's home to some of the most accessible extreme terrain in all of Colorado! This line in particular, however, is very easy and can be done by a wide variety of skiers. It's a great line to scope out the rest of the canyon and to warm-up before tackling these lines! This line will take you to the bottom of the zone where you must skin/hike out.
