Mountain biking at Steamboat Springs Resort has grown into a popular off-season activity at the resort, catering to both the locals and visitors in the warmer months.

$109 will get you a high-end mountain bike rental, protective gear, and a three-hour lesson (two hours with the instructor and one hour of free riding).
