Hi Tiffany,
I know that there are services in town, however, as a mom of 2 I know a few nice girls here who wouldn't charge as much and may be quite flexible. I don't have their numbers on me now, but if you would like them, send a note and I will send you them tonight.

Laura,
You were kind enough to send me some info - however being such a newbw to this site- I now can't locate it. Would you mind resending it to me? So sorry and many thanks.

Hi Laura,
I am a ski wholesaler in Denver and have clients coming up to Steamboat Feb. 25th- March 2nd. They have a little girl that is 1 1/2 and need a reliable babysitter. I would rather give them the numbers of local girls than to have them pay $20+ an hour. Can you email me some names and numbers that I could pass along? julie@ripleysadventures.com
Thanks,
Julie

I've used a contact from Laura a few years back. Laura is a great judge of character.

I've never used them but Baby Business with Naomi is a service that I have seen advertised - 970 879-6645.

I have used Naomi and Baby Business a number of times. She and any employee she has sent have all been wonderful and very professional. They show up on time, bring age appropriate toys and movies, and have been delightful. Our kids have loved them and we've been able to go out without worrying. The sitters are scrupulous about collecting and following emergency info and instructions about food/bedtimes/etc. Our three children have outgrown the need for the service, but I highly recommend it.

I used Naoimi's service last night and they were great! The kids loved their sitter and we all had a great time! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend her! Our sitter's name was Connor and he was great :)

Hi Laura. Help! We are coming to Steamboat a week from Saturday and the babysitter I had lined up just canceled. I ran across your discussion and really hope you can lead me to a great sitter. We need someone from Sunday 3/1 - Saturday 3/7 to ski with my 5 year old...so I need someone that has a pass to Steamboat. Any help you can give is so very appreciated. We've never been to Steamboat...so I don't know anyone out there. Thx again! ~ Amy Winstead (Raleigh NC)

i think we are going to the Sheraton for the Christmas buffet. Others have suggested the Ore House, Cafe Diva alos. Yes book ahead of time. thats what i will be doing next week.
Usually kids don't want to wear the hood thing, but carry it in your pocket just in case. If it's really cold once you get on there on the slopes, I'll bet you big money that'll change.
Hard to predict of course but history is on your side. Be glad you didn't plan a trip around opening day at Vail today. They've got only one run open.
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...
