SNOW SNOW SNOW
Where's all the posts about all the snow you just got!! Maybe too busy skiing and snowboarding!??
We are flying in on Saturday!
Question to locals about next weeks forecast. Looks like off and on precipitation... steamboats forecast shows as snow... weather.com shows as rain/snow... what's the thought for likely weather next week?

I just got off the mountain and Ooh-La-La was it good! I didn't even go chasing powder in the trees because the groomers were blistfully flat and ligthning fast and I just couldn't leave the speed after having to push around heavy slush the last 2 weeks. This last round of powder has covered the "slushed out ice layer" very nicely. Hopefully the temps will stay low enough to keep this base from slushing out too fast.

The snow is fantastic right now. Not as light as we usually get, the high winds yesterday blew it around a bit, and it's creamy feeling, but it's a huge step up from what we had last week.
Make sure and take it easy in the trees, the mix of old rotten snow and new thick snow doesn't make for the most predictable skiing and riding, and there's been quite a few injuries in the last two days.
As for next week, well forecasts are notoriously inaccurate in Steamboat, so it's hard to know, but it does look like there's another storm right on the tail of this one, and with any luck it will hit us with another nice dump.

I'm not sure how to describe this morning's conditions for you. 'Changeable' is probably the best term.
On the one hand it is gorgesouly sunny, there is no wind, it's uncrowded, there are some great stretches of groom, and even some spots where th…

Oh Boo! He is so beautiful! OK, he's so handsome but who cares?! Congratulations my friend!
Hey B,
I know some of those Old Dogs!!!!
Let us know how much snow falls from the storm and how the conditions are.
Thought I'd post an update after we return. Promontory is a hike to the hill but we found we could carry our skis slightly up hill and get to the access run down to the gondola/Christy Peak Express. After a bit of searching, we also found a way to s…
