The best place to eat in Steamboat...very definitive...
Glad you enjoyed it.
There are truly amazing burgers and restaurants elsewhere around town....it just takes a while to find them all.
Hhhhmmm, Slopeside Grill is a pretty good place for a burger at lunch time (or pizza or appetiser or...) :-)
It is times like this that I am (peversely) glad that I live in the UK: you can't get a good burger in the UK, so I don't eat them very often, so I am probably slimmer because of it... there is far too much good "naughty" food in the USA... ;-)
Don't Americans have a problem with baked beans for breakfast at all? Think that I saw somewhere that Americans think that we are pretty odd in the UK for doing that... 8-)
If you have baked beans for breakfast, then it HAS to be Heinz: the cheaper brands that they sometimes serve instead can be fairly revolting...
Boo, you are SOOO right, burgers in the UK are rubbish. I love in the South-East but have travelled to many parts of the UK attending various sporting activities, and none of them are any good!
It's not a bad thing in one way as I'm trying to lose weight and get fit in preparation for my trip to the 'boat this year!
By the way, yup, Baked Beans on toast for breakfast, or at any time of the day is lovely IMHO - and HAS to be Heinz!
I don't even bother trying them in the UK (only place I like them is, very nice ones, cooked on a BBQ in our back garden...). Husband occassionally has one when we are out, but they never look appetising. I just wait until I get to the US...
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.
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!)
