If you can ski everything on the ski area except the double blacks then Powdercats should be easy. You may want to take a lesson, either a short private or an advanced group lesson (which is usually only 3 or 4 in the group) before you go. Even if...

Hi
It is a difficult one.
Powdercats are EXCELLENT: very professional, very well organised, brilliant guides etc. A+ all around - amazing experience.
I am pretty fit (gym 4 times a week and pilates once a week all year round), but fairly short ...
I have clarified the rules and you are right the few units that are whole ownership will be allowed to rent and Moving Mountains is the agency.
I would be surprised if more than a couple of units are made available considering what the whole units...
Agreed, never hear anything but good comments about the Powdercats and as ski said, you're pretty much guaranteed freshies!
Phew, no hat eating for me!
MM will do an awesome job with the rentals they have in OSP and I can't wait to see the finished product....looks like they're pretty close with the the main promenade now and I'm sure the whole building isn't far behind.
Oops, sorry. In looking back at my facebook exchanges on this subject it looks like I'm the one who added "exclusive," although it does seem to have been implied by the conversation. I do not know how many they have in their control but I know the...
I highly recommend it! I have enjoyed super days and friends who have skied with them have also had a great time. They have different levels of skiing ability groups so you can feel assured you will not get in over your head ability wise. Powder l...
I can't tell you what great location bear claw is re: ski in and out. If this is important to you then I would push for bear claw
Was wondering if anyone had any experience with the backcountry skiing offered by powdercats--I feel comfortable skiing on everything at steamboat except for double blacks, but have really no powder experience. Would this be a good way to be intro...
I always fall flat on my face when I say things like this but.....I'll eat my hat if MM have the EXCLUSIVE rental management contract for OSP.....nothing against MM and a hell of a coup if they did but OSP is huge, MM aren't and it would be the on...
That's what I heard too. I heard that Moving Mountains had been given the exclusive rental management contract for One Steamboat Place. I'm also staying with Moving Mountains this year but my dates were just too close to the ready-date for most un...
I heard from Moving Mountains in Steamboat that we are staying with this winter that a select number of Residences at One Steamboat Place are available through them for rental starting in January. They look amazing...and probably because of the la...
Difficult one...
We have stayed at Bear Claw for the past 6 years, so we might be biased ;-)
To be honest we haven't found a better combination of "ski-in/ski-out convenience", homeliness (look, feel and service) and value than Bear Claw: it is ...
There's actually quite a bit of work involved getting from the properties on the non Bear Claw side to the Gondola. We've always stayed on that side and can tell you getting my 2 little-ish (now 7&9) boys to school was a lot of extra effort for th...

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...
