Steamboat won’t be a problem for an RV-10. I was just up there on Sunday with my niece in my Glasair 1RG. The Glasair is a runway hog compared to RVs and it still got off in less than 1/2 the available runway.
Normal mountain/high altitude procedures apply. Fly the airspeed, not the ground speed you’re seeing out the window. The most common runway for landing is 32. It’s not real obvious on approach, but the airport is elevated from the highway/valley below. The natural tendency is to get low on base leg and then end up eye to eye with the runway when you turn final. To guard against this, I find that it helps to have milestones to meet in terms of altitude... 500’ above field elevation for my base leg is a reasonable rule of thumb. Do what works for your pattern size and go around if it’s not right. Bad things happen when pilots won’t swallow their pride and end up pushing a bad situation.
Stacey is the airport manager and she’s pretty good about taking care of people. She mentioned that Steamboat was going to COVID “red” status as of yesterday (Monday, the 1st). It would probably be worth checking what this means for restaurant seating and the ski area.
For dining, check out Winona’s, Creekside, Backdoor Grill, Big House Burgers, and Beau Jo’s pizza.
My family has been going to Steamboat since before I was born. I’ve always loved it because it feels a little more like a normal mountain town compared to the Summit County, I70 type resorts. My nieces used to play softball up there in the summer and my brother’s wife plays tennis in the summer, too.
Have fun! You’ll love it!
