Altitude
Steamboat Springs is located 6,732 feet above sea level. If you're coming from sea level, you could have some symptoms of altitude sickness. Almost all symptoms of altitude sickness can be cured by drinking enough water. Dehydration is the main issue, so making sure you're well hydrated is key. When you think you've drank more water than you've ever drank in your life-- drink more! You should also keep in mind that alcohol affects you a much lower level when you're at altitude. Make sure to drink water between drinks and to drink plenty of water before bed to make sure you're not too hungover to party with us! We'll have some altitude geared welcome bags for you guys when you arrive, so don't worry about stocking up on things before you get there!
