February 6th thru the 13th
I will be there with my new ski club February 6th through the 13th. I pretty much like to ski the whole mountain except the super tough stuff.
My favorite run on the lower part of the mountain is Heavenly Daze to Lower Valley View then down to the Gondola. On the upper mountain, Storm Peak, to Cyclone, to a groomed Drop Out or wimp out on Tornado Lane. My 49 yr old knees can only take so many bumps now-a-days.

While I don't have confirmation yet, it appears that I will be there that week, also. A meet an lunch or after skiing would be great.

My wife and I will be there this week. She is a lower intermediate and I know I will need some time skiing faster and I'd like to do some tree skiing and maybe hike to St. Pats and/or East Face but I don't want to do it alone. Give me a shout and maybe we can meet up some time during the week.
If this discussion gets going it might be fun to get a group together some afternoon for a drink or two.

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.
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...
