Hi Bobby,
My husband and I have lived in Steamboat for a little morre than 8 years now, and we are up on the mountain nearly every day of the season. Every winter since we've been here, the snow has been amazing! There has been quite a bit of powder and it hasn't been too cold. It's hit or miss with the sunshine and blue-bird days around then. But the snow has been great!

I have been up several times for the 2nd weekend in December (a group goes to the Dotsero jazz concert that has always been that Saturday). Many times Sunshine area and Morningside are not yet open, but much of the rest of the mountain is. A few good years, even Sunshine was open. And no crowds that early. Great snow.

You should be OK from early Dec if we have a normal year or anything like the last few.

Cheers

We usually fly into SB whatever day the kids get out of school for Christmas. The snow has always been fine. We arrive the 19th this year! Can't wait. There may be a very few lifts not yet open but that doesn't last long. Looks good so far for the season.

Hi Bobby,

My family and I have been making the Steamboat trip in December the last 5 years. The Ski Conditions and weather have always been fantastic each year. We also make this trip with a college age son during his Christmas break. We used to have the same concerns about the time of the season and even the crowds during the Holidays but, those concerns flew out the window after our first trip. As always the people are great, the weather is perfect and the snow is...well, it is Steamboat, is there any better? Hope you have a good trip. My wife just finished finalizing our trip this year. Steamboat here we come!!!!

Mitch
