Steamboat Ranch

Help me with English please (A ski town that is…)?

I have questions about following sentences.
———————————————————
“A ski town that is also an authentic ranching center, Steamboat Springs is more down home than glitzy. Cowboy hats and ski boots are equally welcome on the city’s friendly streets. The place where downhill skiing first flourished in the United States, Steamboat Springs remains a premiere slopes destination. But the town also offers outdoor recreation of every stripe and season. And after a long day hiking or shopping, you can relax in one of the natural hot springs for which the town was named.”

*What is “ranching center”?

a ranching centre sounds like there is alot of farms or open fields with people living in them, i would think

“Steamboat Springs” it’s just the name of what they are talking about, which sounds like it’s a mountain or hill that people use to ski or snowboard in winter and it’s one of the best places to go down hill skiing, snowboarding, etc.

“every strip” means for any type of activity that you are planning on doing, like soccer, a long walk, picninc, parting, swiming, running, etc.

like you know a strip of a zebra? or like a rainbow, so they mean there’s something for everyone and any time of the year
