BEST VIEW IN THE WORLD DEPENDS UPON WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING FROM

That was until Steamboat Springs' Steve Swanson, an astronaut on the recent Space Shuttle Discovery STS-119 mission to the International Space Station, showed us the view he had from the window of the International Space Stat… Continue

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.
