Since it is a few months away, you might have to remind me. It is a pretty busy time of year, you know. I'll be there if I'm not still playing with all of my Santa Claus presents.
Members meeting for Apres Ski Drinks at Slopeside or Gondola Pub or Suggestions?
December 26, 2009 from 4pm to 6pm
So far we have Patti (snowflake) and Kim meeting for happy hour drinks. Slopeside? Gondola Pub? Suggestions?
HI, Bhrett. It's always a tough thing to predict the weather that far in advance. However, it's a safe bet that you'll get some pleasant spring skiing during your visit. Bring your sunscreen! The weather report shows a 10% chance of snow the week ...
Definitely swing by Celebrations, which is down by Wal-Mart and City Market. However, they are starting to pack up now, and close the store. It might not be open unless you can get there soon. Bring beads if you can because others on the mountain ...

David Shalikashvili said… - Shannon, how very interesting! I am quite familiar with the story of your aunt's family and my family; represents all that is good about our country, in my opinion. John Shalikashvili is my uncle; he and the rest of his family came to Peoria a few months after my father in the early 1950's...my father also benefitted from the kindness of your family. What a small world.

- How about that? My father is indeed Othar, who lives near me in Georgia. John Shalikashvili is retired in the Seattle. I will mention to them that we connected.
My family is planning on coming to CO for a late spring break ski trip -- April 3-10ish. Any tips on how the snow should be then/where to stay/etc.? We would love to be on the slopes if it makes sense, and at the same time we are trying to do this for as little $$ as possible.

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...
