Have fun with your outfits and overall be yourself. Steamboat weather is unpredictable though temperatures hover around 75 degrees during the day and 40 degrees overnight. It does feel warmer than the temperature if sunny in the mountains because you are closer to the sun. We recommend layering with light jackets or sweaters. We recommend sunscreen if you are outside for any extended amount of time.
