Took a trip up to the Boat for Thanksgiving, 2003 with my son (age 11) and his two friends. We arrived early evening on Thankgiving day, unloaded the car and went looking for some food. By that time, 'everything' was shut down (stores and most res...
My wife (non-skier) loves the bookstore - Off the Beaten Path. She has also visited Fish Creek Falls although I am not sure how much of it can be hiked or is accessible during the winter. One more thing - take the gondola up to Thunderhead restaur...

Book Early
Kids Ski Free
Kids Fly Free
All three can help a family cut the cost of a ski vacation. I booked early this year and saved 40% on lodging and 30% on lift tickets. Looking fo...
We stayed there two years ago and stayed in a one-bedroom unit that overlooked the lift ticket windows. We are going back this year in January over MLK holiday and will be staying in the same unit. Our unit was somewhat dated but very accommodatin...
Great !!! I hope you encounter a lot of snow as I will be out there at the same time - Jan 15th - 19th. Booked my trip back in August.
Did you do the Tour de Steamboat in July? If so, what ride did you do? I am envious - I would love to do (at least) one year up in Steamboat and participate in all the different acitivties. Have a great fall (season that is . . .) and be careful !

I been coming to Steamboat 30+ years and probably always will - it is my favorite place to be. I love to shoot photos and vidoes of the ski area and of my son skiing the mountain.

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!)
