Thanks for sharing this. I'll bet their working hard to get things done before it starts dumping!
I was at Bear Claw 2 years ago. For me Ski in/out is VERY important. Of all the places I have stayed at Steambboat, Bear Claw is my favorite.
Check out the studios at the Steamboat Grand - great hotel with all the amenities walking distance to the base. A studio would be perfect for one and has a little kitchenette and murphy bed. Also - be sure to check out our Meetings Group - this is...
go to the section on the top of the forum page where it says Groups..then go to forum members section and join that then you can post when you are going and if other forum are out then you guys can meet and maybe set up some skiing with them. i am...
That's great to hear! One question though, your wife hates cold weather yet you live in Chicago? Has she been to Steamboat? I'm from South Louisiana and the coldest it ever gets here is around freezing for a week maybe. We took this pic one mornin...
One of the nice things living in a major metro area, I did a search for Chicago area ski clubs and had 2 to choose from that were going to Steamboat Feb 6-13. I joined one an we will be there. Making new friends in Steamboat; it will be a great trip!
I'll be there the first week of Feb. As much as I love my wife to death, I need to challenge myself on the slopes. She'll likely stay on the greens so I'll be skiing by myself often. I'm no expert but if you want to run the blues give me a shout!
I visit Steamboat every year the 1st or 2nd week of February. My wife does not ski and does not like cold weather, so I usually go with my sister, a friend, my daughter or all of the above. Well due to current economic conditions, I have no one to...
That is beautiful - artwork and frame! What a talented family!

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...
