Steamboat Family Fun Made Easy with Erica Frank of Ski Butler

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Erica Frank, the GM of Ski Butlers in Steamboat, Colorado. Erica gives tons of tips and insights to plan the perfect family trip to Steamboat. 

Erica grew up in Utah, skiing at Brighton, Alta & Snowbird. She moved East for college still managed to find time on snow - she taught skiing at Shawnee Mountain and Camelback Mountain.  She tells us about her first time visiting Steamboat on a family trip and falling in love with the area and all the incredible snow. She knew she would make her way back there and has been living in Steamboat for the past 3 years now. 

Erica explains exactly what families can expect to find at Steamboat and how Ski Butler makes getting to the slopes fun and easy for families. Ski Butler is a premier ski rental delivery company that brings all the ski gear right to you in your condo or hotel. Imagine having a glass of wine in your condo while your kids try on boots - instead of sweating it out in the rental line. Ski Butlers rents skis, poles, snowboards, boots and even helmets and goggles.  

Ski Butlers provides ongoing support throughout your stay, you can try different skis during your stay depending on your needs or even the snow conditions.  Then at the end of your trip, they pick up everything. 

We loved learning about Ski Butlers’ partnership with Steamboat Sports where families can rent soft goods like ski jackets and snow pants. 

Erica even shares some of her favorite apres ski spots around town - like T Bar and Timber & Torch.
