Mount Werner, Mountain summit in Routt County, United States
Mount Werner is a summit in the Park Range of the Rocky Mountains rising to 10,570 feet (3,220 meters). The mountain serves as the core of the Steamboat Springs ski area and is crisscrossed with hiking trails and lift infrastructure.
The mountain was originally known as Storm Mountain until it was renamed in 1964 in honor of Olympic skier Buddy Werner following his death. The renaming commemorated his fatal accident in Switzerland during a skiing expedition.
The mountain forms part of Steamboat Springs ski area, where numerous winter sports athletes train and compete throughout the snow season.
Summer visitors can access the slopes via established hiking trails, while winter visitors can use the ski lift system for descent and access. The season you choose depends on whether you prefer hiking or winter sports.
The snowmelt and water runoff from the slopes feed into the Yampa River system. This water travels hundreds of kilometers downstream through multiple states before joining the Colorado River watershed.
