En-Route
I am looking at property at a Colorado ski area for semi-retirement. Right now we are focused on Avon-Edwards or Steamboat.
I always assumed I would do my flying in Florida, but when I drove to Steamboat this weekend, it opened my eyes to the possibilities of flying there. The airport is right on the edge of town in a nice wide valley, with cool destinations in Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah just a few hours away.
Maybe I'll bring my Decathlon instead of leaving it in Florida. Seems like a taildragger would open up a lot of backcountry exploration options.
Anyone from that area with insight on the flying situation? In particular, is there any possibility of seasonal hangar space at KSBS? Are grass strips a thing on the western slope?
Seems like SBS would be an awesome day or overnight destination for folks from other areas, being so close to town.
