Winter Carnival
Looking at the recent photos posted by Larry Pierce (incidently, I think that my husband is his biggest fan...) reminded me of being in Steamboat this time last year (this year we had to go a bit earlier, in January).
Great photos and a great time of year to go, if you can. Fun activities, really good family atmosphere around town and the ski mountain is really pretty quiet too (pre-Presidents' week). I think a particularly good time to come for families and groups where not everyone skis/boards or even for families who are after a "Winter Vacation" without skiing/boarding at all.

We arrived in time in 2005, looked forward to going into town as we made it up from Denver by afternoon, but by evening when we finally got ourselves sorted out with groceries, ski and the rest, the dreaded jet lag struck and somehow never made it.

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.
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?
