On Mountain Ski Wax and Tune
Can anyone recommend a good shop at the base to tune and wax my skis? We are arriving the Saturday afternoon before MLK Day (not planning to ski until Sunday), and in the past that Saturday and Sunday have been relaively crowded. I have always rented through Black Tie in the past so I am not familiar with the repair or rental shops at the base. Also, what kind of turn around can I expect on a busy weekend (while I wait? overnight?). Thanks for any insight.

I use Edgeworks, they are in the base area close to the ticket office, its always my first call on arrival, leave the skis and pick them up next morning, they do a good job.

I always use them as well. Sports Stalker also can give you a good tune.

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...
