Profile Information
- How do you carve powder?
- Rider
- Do you work for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation?
- Yes
- If you answered yes please provide your title and a brief description of what you do.
- I teach people what I love to do--snowboarding. That's the brief answer. In reality, it's much more in depth. I am a fully certified snowboard instructor with an accreditation for teaching children and certification for teaching adaptive snowboard. My students have ranged from my 2 year old daughter (yes you can start that early) to a 67 year old grandmother.
My thirst for knowledge has led me to an adjacent path of trainer/examiner. Within the confines of the Ski and Snowboard School, I train our staff to become better instructors, riders and providers of guest service. In addition, I am on the Education Staff for the Rocky Mountain Division of the American Association of Snowboard Instructors which means I train and certify instructors from Steamboat and other ski areas in the Rocky Mountain Region for snowboard, kids and adaptive snowboard instruction.
My favorite student---my daughter!!

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...
