I have ridden snowmobiles, mushed a dog sled, ridden in a hot air balloon, and have done nearly every non-skiing activity a resort town has to offer.However, participating in the Bridgestone Winter Driving School is hands-down the best activity to do when taking a ski break. This one of a kind activity can only be done in Steamboat Springs, CO. They clearly explain what a car can do on the snow and ice, and teach you how to use steering, braking, and acceleration collectively and independently for control. The morning is spent practicing these real world skills of braking and turning, then the drivers are sent to the track to put the practice to the test. The afternoon is spent teaching how to steer while braking, becoming comfortable steering without a brake, and how use the lateral weight of your vehicle to your advantage. After these practice drills, the drivers have more time to test these skills on the track. During all the drills, practice, and laps, the school has radios in the vehicles to coach every step of the way. The instant feedback is phenomenal for the learning process. The final activity was participating in a ride along with one of the instructors, who demonstrated how to REALLY drive, which ten times better than any roller coaster. The instructors were informative, humorous, and made the learning meaningful. Bridgestone Winter Driving School is definitely a 'can't miss' Steamboat activity.
