I don't even bother trying them in the UK (only place I like them is, very nice ones, cooked on a BBQ in our back garden...). Husband occassionally has one when we are out, but they never look appetising. I just wait until I get to the US...
Boo
Boo, you are SOOO right, burgers in the UK are rubbish. I love in the South-East but have travelled to many parts of the UK attending various sporting activities, and none of them are any good!
It's not a bad thing in one way as I'm trying to lose...
There is a location to the east of Sunshine Bowl that is skied now has backcountry terrain. It is about 550' of vertical, about the same as Morningside, but over a shorter distance (i.e., a nicer overall grade). However, compare that to the Pionee...
Where? - terrain is pretty flat back there. The one expansion they have permitted and just need to put the lift in is north and adjacent to Pony Express.
I don't remember ever hearing Steamboat in the discussions before the '76 Olympics. The original site was near Loveland, then it was going to be an all-new area, that eventually got built as Beaver Creek (long after '76). Governor Lamm led the fig...

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...
