I know how you feel, we just had our SB group meeting Sat . We are bringing a new couple this year and they have just skied NM and one other spot in Colorado.They like skiing but haven't had any great trips.
We wanted them to know all the answers so they would feel comfortable coming this year. They have no idea what fun they are in for.
We will be booking Feb.6th thru 12th again. Hope for lots of snow.

Hi Ron! Glad to hear that you are planning another trip to Steamboat! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
How was your trip to Africa? Did the hunt go well? I'm looking forward to hearing about it!
Hi to all,

Laura,
Glad to hear from you and I hope all is well up your way. I figured you would be too busy this time of the year keeping the youngsters occupied, to look at the forum. Tell Fredrik we said hello.
We are great and Africa was fantastic, Chris said she could really get used to everyone waiting on her hand and foot. Wonderful Country, great people, good food.
We are already excited about coming back to SB this year and bringing a new couple this time.
Ron

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...
