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.
That is the Place.
For the life of me I can't think of the name of the rental Co. we used last year. It is at the base of the mountain and provides the shortest walk to the lift. Looking at the interactive map I think its Ski & Sport Sheraton location. Can someone c...
I think the two places offering the ultimate in convenience (without navigating steps and stairs) would be Steamboat Ski and Sport in the Sheraton and Fleischer Sport in OSP.
Not sure how Steamboat Ski and Sport works in terms of whether you're g...
planning on reserving the equiptment before we get there. with 6 people to fill their needs, I just wanted names of places around the gondola. looks like there is alot of snow coming down observing from the mountain cams!!!!
don't fret with what you need to rent before you get there. Whomever you rent from will know what you need based on your experience and body factors. And if you don't like the equipment after the first run go back in and switch it our for a differ...
thanks for the information!
New one for this year is Fleischer Sports (Owned and operated by Chad Fleischer, ex olympian) and if you rent from them, you get free overnight storage.
I believe it's going to be exceptionally good equipment (all new for this year) and apparentl...

- Ah, you will get used to it: it gets easier. It is a good place - love all of the photos and things :-)
Nooooo! Not coming to Steamboat! :-(. But many congratulations in your daughter getting married: that is lovely and VERY exciting - I bet that you are having fun with the preparations. They only get married once (hopefully), so well worth making a great fuss. ;-)
Oh well, this new forum should allow you to enjoy other people's trips EVEN MORE this year: I am predicting no shortage of photos, videos and blogs being posted this year :-)
Glad that you are still hanging out here (despite not being able to make it this year): it really wouldn't be the same here without you - wonderful to see most of the regulars from the old forum popping up :-)

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...
