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.
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...
Actually, we may book the Ore House, having had a vote from the children!
We skied a couple of years ago at Christmas and it was very cold. Usually we go in March. Thermals are a definite, if it's really cold I'll make the children wear a long sle...
Hi Anne Marie! Thanks for the post - I have actually just booked at the Ore House, after weighing up all the previous posts - no traditional meal, but it sounds like it'll be great fun! - can I ask, for the boys do they wear a thermal layer, a fle...
I am English and have two boys the same age as yours. It is hard to find a traditional English Christmas meal in Steamboat as that is generally the traditional Thanksgiving meal here in the US. We ski in Steamboat every year. We have had a Christm...
Yes, you would need reservations.
I hear great things about the Cabin's Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, but when I have been in that hotel (infrequently), it appears to be a bit hotelly to me. The views would be across the hall as well, not at your window as they are in the Sh...
i am going to ask a stupid question do you need to make reservations for the Sheraton for Christmas buffet? Or just drop in....thanks starting to get excited about coming out and i know this time of the year will be busy just trying to make plans ...
Here are some pics of The Cabin - you can check it out for yourself! I have eaten there before I am thought it was pretty good.
I've been to the Cabin once and wasn't impressed, there's better options imho.
..I'm still dithering as it's so hard to decide when we've not been to any yet but if i leave it until we do then i know everywhere will be booked, so all these comments are really useful!
- one place that no one seems to have mentioned here is 'T...
I keep hearing good things about the Sheraton option - good to hear a positive first hand report!
The Ore House would be a great option, but if you can't get in...
I have to say, we would not normally eat at this place, but last year we ate at Seven's in the Sheraton for the Christmas buffet, and it was fantastic. Great views, the food was rea...
An idea for you or anyone else out there as yes we too have the exchange rate to deal with which also makes multiple private lessons rather steep but don't want to farm kids out for whole day if possible!! We are out there and able to ski from tue...

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?
