What to do?
My family thought your idea very amusing but I honestly dont think he is going to make the green let alone the black. But I will keep it in mind, especially if we are looking for some comic relief ...

You can rent snow shoes almost any ski shop in town, great way to go if you are going to hike the falls or anywhere else when their is snow on the ground.
Your older boy is an idiot. Of course he's young and believe he's immortal too. Take the $100 AUD and put him in ski/board school the first day where he can look stupid and be humbled in front of strangers. Then maybe, just maybe, he could do a gr...

An excelent suggestion and one my husband will enjoy. Thank you

The gondola ride and meet up with the Skiers for lunch is an exellent idea. This will give the nonskier a real feeling of involvment. We did that with my mother a couple of years ago and might try it again this year. Hazies is relaxing and good an...
In particular, if they still have the offer that they have had the last few years, non-skiers can buy a one-trip gondola ride, go to Stoker or Hazie's for lunch, and they will deduct the cost of the gondola ride from the food (not booze) portion o...
My wife (non-skier) loves the bookstore - Off the Beaten Path. She has also visited Fish Creek Falls although I am not sure how much of it can be hiked or is accessible during the winter. One more thing - take the gondola up to Thunderhead restaur...
DEFINITELY snowmobiling - they will love it!
Boo
Not sure how your husband will get is soccer fix in December. If there are some leagues going that time of year, there are a couple of sports bars in town that he could check out and see if anything is on the tube. The Tap house downtown would be ...

For all of our friends in Australia and New Zealand.
Hi, we are arriving in Steamboat early December. We were here 2 years ago around the same time. We are from Australia and have a 21yro and 14yro boys. The younger one snowboards well but the 21yro, who believes he will be riding Black diamonds wit...

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...
