There and Back Again
Well here we are, back in front of the PC and not on the other side of the Webcam,no more looking down the mountain or soaking in the hot tub gazing down the Yampa Valley easing that right knee. Seems an age since leaving London Heathrow arriving in Denver and jumping into the Hummer, yes that's right a Hummer, should have been a Jeep but they upgraded us to the Hummer, I thought I had left armoured vehicles behind, but peering through the slits called windows and closing the doors that were as… Continue

- Hey, regarding load a 'profile' picture. It took me 2 or 3 times to make it work. Keep trying. I don't know if it there server or maybe there is a lot of internet traffic today that is causing problems. Good luck.
P.S. I enjoy the photo you posted - awesome photo.

- Yes but still no go, must be a bug in the system got into the photo section no problem, by the way if memory serves me right it was your excellent advice on creating a DVD using Windows Movie Maker, it helped me create my own masterpiece !!!!!

Boo Boo said… - Hello Mike! Yes, looks great: am still trying to "find my way around"... But have got as far as uploading a profile picture and a few videos. Not bad going, since we just got back from a weekend in Poland (alas, not skiing) less than two hours ago... Hope that you are well :-)

- Dominic and I were "chaperoning" a group of 16-19 year old athletes at a sporting event: so it was a hectic few days in Poland... No snow, though: about the same temperature as here (we flew into Poznan and went to Leszno). Yes, we are back in Steamboat again, but early this year (beginning of January). Would have liked to have gone back in early February again, but need to get back to the UK for various commitments.

- Mike, have you tried a different JPEG to see if it picture related? If there is anyway I can help, let me know. Maybe, it you send a private message (comment) to Marlene or James, they may be able to help (if they get a minute freed up). Also, you may want to open up a discussion to see if anyone else is having the same kind of problems (and maybe a possible solution).

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...
