970.879.1125The Conroy Heritage in Steamboat Springs
In 1976, brothers Bob and Charlie Conroy founded Conroy Moving & Storage as the only full-service moving and storage facility in Northwest Colorado — a role we've held continuously for nearly half a century. From a single truck and a rented warehouse, the Conroys built the most trusted moving company in the Yampa Valley through hard work, honest pricing, and an unwavering commitment to treating every customer's belongings like their own.
For 34 years, Bob Conroy led the company through Steamboat's transformation from a quiet ranching town to a world-class ski destination. He navigated the real estate boom of the 1990s, the growth of the resort, and the influx of second homeowners — all while maintaining the personalized service that defined Conroy Moving from day one.
In January 2019, Ryan Shorter acquired Conroy Moving & Storage, continuing the tradition of local ownership. Ryan's family has deep Yampa Valley roots — his grandfather ranched in South Routt since the 1930s, and his parents have been pillars of the Steamboat community since 1976. A two-time U.S. Olympic alpine ski head coach (PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022), Ryan brings the same dedication to excellence that defined his coaching career to every Conroy move.
Today, Conroy operates a fleet of Mack air-ride trucks specifically designed for mountain transport. Our air-ride suspension systems provide the smoothest possible transit over Rabbit Ears Pass and the mountain roads that connect Steamboat to the rest of Colorado. Combined with expert pad-wrapping techniques refined over five decades, this equipment ensures your furniture and fragile items arrive in the same condition they left — no matter how many elevation changes along the way.
The result: a 4.9-star Google rating across 136+ reviews, three consecutive Best of the Boat Gold Medal awards (2023, 2024, 2025), BBB A+ accreditation since 2019, and the trust of thousands of Steamboat families. From Bob to Ryan, the Conroy commitment remains unchanged: treat every move like it's our own family moving.
What Makes Steamboat Moves Different
Moving in Steamboat Springs isn't like moving in Denver or the Front Range. At 6,732 feet base elevation — rising to 10,568 feet at the summit of Mt. Werner — every move presents altitude-specific challenges that out-of-town movers simply don't understand. Furniture expands and contracts differently at altitude. Hydraulic lift gates behave differently in thin air. Even the simple act of carrying boxes up stairs becomes more demanding when you're breathing mountain air.
Then there's the weather. Rabbit Ears Pass (9,426 feet) connects Steamboat to I-70 and the rest of Colorado, but this lifeline closes regularly during winter storms. CDOT's chain law applies from October through May, and even experienced mountain drivers respect the pass's reputation. Our drivers have logged thousands of crossings — we know when to push through and when to wait for conditions to improve.
Highway 40's chain law zones, mud season closures (typically April through late May when dirt roads turn impassable), and ski-season traffic all require local knowledge. We've moved homes when June snowstorms closed the pass. We've navigated mud season access roads that would strand a Front Range moving truck. We've coordinated resort blackout dates and HOA elevator reservations during Christmas week. This is what 49 years of mountain moving experience means in practice.
Yampa River flood plain considerations affect properties on Steamboat's south side, where spring runoff can complicate access timing. We monitor river levels and plan accordingly. Many HOAs require certificates of insurance, advance notification to neighbors, and specific loading dock reservations — we handle all this coordination so you don't have to.

After nearly 50 years, we've moved homes in every corner of Steamboat Springs. Each neighborhood presents unique challenges — and we know them all.
Old Town Steamboat
Historic downtown with Victorian homes and tight streets. We navigate narrow alleys, limited parking, and stairs. Many homes here require furniture hoisting and careful maneuvering.

The Lincoln Avenue corridor features mixed-use buildings, loft apartments, and commercial spaces. Loading zone coordination and elevator scheduling are our specialty.
Mountain Area (Walton Creek, Apres Ski Way)
Ski-in/ski-out condos and luxury chalets with resort access restrictions. We coordinate HOA requirements, elevator reservations, and navigate steep driveways year-round.
Strawberry Park
Rural mountain properties north of town with long driveways and private roads. Our crews handle remote access challenges and unpaved roads with care.
Steamboat II
Affordable family neighborhood with suburban-style homes. Easy access and straightforward moves, often our most efficient local relocations.

Learn moreSpecialty Moves Unique to Steamboat
Ski-in/ski-out condos with elevator scheduling. Properties at Steamboat Resort — including One Steamboat Place, Trappeur's Lodge, The Olympian, and Torian Plum — require advance elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, and coordination with property management. We handle all logistics so your move day runs smoothly, even during peak ski season.
Slopeside condo moves during ski-season blackouts. Many resort properties prohibit moving during Christmas week, Presidents' Day weekend, and spring break. We know which buildings have which restrictions and help you schedule around blackout dates while securing elevator time during permitted windows.
Ranch and equestrian property moves in the South Valley. Properties along County Road 14, Routt County Roads 27 and 33, and the broader South Valley present unique challenges: long gravel driveways, seasonal road conditions, and structures that weren't designed for moving trucks. We've moved tack rooms, barn contents, ranch equipment, and multi-generational family homesteads throughout South Routt.
Vacation home and second-home moves. Many Steamboat properties are second homes with owners coordinating moves from Denver, California, Texas, or beyond. We're experienced in representing absent owners — accepting deliveries, coordinating with designers and contractors, and ensuring your mountain retreat is ready when you arrive.
Cross-mountain moves. Steamboat to Vail. Steamboat to Denver. Steamboat to Aspen. These aren't simple point-to-point moves — they're mountain logistics challenges requiring route planning, weather monitoring, and timing precision. We provide dedicated trucks, guaranteed delivery dates, and drivers who've made these runs hundreds of times.

How Much Does a Move in Steamboat Springs Cost?
Moving costs in Steamboat Springs vary based on home size, distance, specialty items, and time of year. We believe in transparent pricing — no surprise fees, no hidden charges, and binding estimates that protect you from move-day surprises.
Local moves (within Steamboat Springs/Routt County) are typically billed hourly at $150-$250 per hour for a 2-4 person crew, depending on complexity. Most local moves complete within 3-6 hours.
General price ranges by home size:
Factors that affect cost: Stairs and floors (elevator access vs. walk-up), distance between properties, packing services, specialty items (pianos, safes, art), and access challenges (steep driveways, long carries, tight spaces).
Seasonal pricing: Peak demand occurs during summer relocations (June-August) and ski-season transitions (May and October). Shoulder season moves (April, September, November) often offer more scheduling flexibility and availability.
Move duration: Most local Steamboat moves complete within 3-6 hours. Large homes, multiple locations, or complex logistics may require a full day.
The Steamboat Springs Moving Calendar
Timing matters in Steamboat. Understanding the local moving calendar helps you plan better and often saves money.
Best months for moving: October (post-summer quiet, pre-ski season), mid-April through May (shoulder season, but watch mud season on dirt roads), and September (summer crowds gone, fall colors, pleasant weather). These months offer the best availability and often more flexible pricing.
Busiest months: Late June, July, and August see the highest demand as families relocate before school starts and lease cycles turn over. Expect 2-3 week lead times and book as early as possible.
Ski season (December-March): Moving is absolutely possible, but plan for resort access restrictions, HOA blackout dates, and weather-related delays. The tradeoff: you'll be settled in time for ski season.
Recommended booking timeline: 4-6 weeks ahead for peak summer, 3-4 weeks for ski season resort moves, 1-2 weeks for shoulder season local moves. Contact us early even if your exact date isn't confirmed — we'll hold a window.
