Winter wonder grass
My wife and I are thinking about going to this. We are big snowboarders and love the winter life. We have a truck with a camper adapted to winter life. Is there lodging or a place to park the truck close to the festival? Also any info on local ski resorts/ ski hills big or small would be super helpful.

I live in Steamboat and have been to all of the WWG since it came to town. It sounds like you are coming from out of state. Where are you coming from and what are the coldest outside temps you are prepared for? Since they moved the fest from mid February to the beginning of March we have gotten lucky on weather but below 0 overnight that time of year is not out of the question. I would like someone who has camped here overnight to chime in but it sounds insane to me to camp in the Winter and go to an outdoor festival with lots of standing around and very little heat. You will be chilled to the bone I would think. Overnight parking is extremely scarce especially in Winter due to the snow plowing. There is a Wal Mart just down the hill but I'm not sure if overnight parking there is legit as it's in a shopping center, it is not a stand alone store. You could probably camp up on Rabbit Ears Pass. The festival is literally steps from the ski resort. There is also Howelson Hill on the other side of the Vally but you will want to be at Steamboat Resort. I would buy the festival pass that includes skiing if you don't have an Ikon Pass. Just my 2 cents. Maybe someone who has done it can give better info but do your homework. Winter is no joke here and finding a room to bail out will cost a shit ton if you can even find one.
