Apres Ski for Family
We will be arriving on dec 31 for five nights - first visit to steamboat. Staying in storm meadows club condos. 2 girls in the family of four, age 9 and 11. Outside of skiing and a walk around town, we plan to do the bbq dinner at the top of the gondola and are considering snowmobile tour for half day or 2 hours. Would apprecaite any feedback on snowmobile companies and tours. Any other must dos?
We do not plan on renting a car. Is it a reasonable walk from storm meadows to the base area for the fireworks/parade on new years eve?
Appreciate the advice...

Temps have been great for snowmaking and we definitely have more snow this year than we had last year. I wouldn't worry, we tend to get dumped on in December.
Here's a good article about late starts and how the season turns out.
I have been checking the cameras lately, and there does not appear to be alot of snow on the mountain, and not much in the forecast?
Getting nervous about our trip out December 18th. Anything to worry about?
I agree with the balaclava. If your boys are going to wear helmets, which they should, then you can buy a nice under helmet hat/balaclava, a must in Steamboat. The key to keeping warm on the mountain is layers. (and toe warmers!)
I ski with my boys every January in Steamboat (now 10 & 8) and they wear the whole kit every day since they stay up top most the whole day ... base layer top and bottom, fleece top (& bottom if it's Arctic cold), and down jacket. They used to wear...
