Sisters In Steamboat Weekend
The Sisters in Steamboat weekend promises no kids, no laundry, no chores... just time with your sisters, mothers, daugthers, cousins, and girlfriends. Indulges in a weekend away in Steamboat Springs filled with shopping, dining, spas, bars and personal enrichment!
Often we don’t take the time to plan to do fun things with those women we love. Life gets in the way. This is a special event just for women. The organizers, MainStreet Steamboat Springs, want this weekend to offer enough activities to choose from if you’re looking for something fun to do, but not so many things planned that you can’t just spend time together enjoying all Steamboat Springs has to offer.
Select any or all of the events, workshops, and/or activities noted below for a one-time registration fee of $60.00.
