I haven't been round the past month (things have been busy here), BUT I wanted to say "thank you very much" to the people who created, authorised and maintained this new Steamboat forum :-)
I think that it has been great: I have really loved the much more "interactive" nature of the new forum (blogs, photos, video, personal messages, groups and EVERYTHING). It is really fun to use and has added a whole new dimension to vacationing at Steamboat.
Thank you - this new forum has been a very good move AND I can only see it growing in popularity :-)
Thanks jg_atl and Boo - much appreciated! I had a great time working on this site and will continue to do so. Not sure about the changes as of yet - James and I have to discuss this. But as always - keep the suggestions coming - this site is for you and all of your suggestions so far have been really useful.
I am also looking forward to warmer weather - Steamboat is wonderful in the summer!!
Thanks for the kudos; glad you enjoyed my.steamboat.com this year.
Regarding off-season plans: Nothing has been writ in stone yet, but I think some tighter integration w/steamboat.com is on the way. This would mostly entail having my.steamboat content show up, possibly in an interactive fashion, on steamboat.com.
This site also has some untapped potential for adding new pages as well as integration w/other social platforms like Facebook, etc... that we may be looking into.
As usual, your thoughts and suggestions are welcomed!
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!)
