Ski Rentals
This will be our 2nd trip to Steamboat. Last year, we accelerated to level 4. However, I was very disapointed in my ski rentals. I felt they were too long for me. I am 6'3" and weigh 220. How short of a ski can I use and not be miserable?

A general rule of thumb is that skis should be from the ground to the middle of your nose to your brows. Any higher and you will be using skis much like that of very experienced skiers. I would say that you should see if you can change skis after the first day if you are unhappy with them.

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?
