This includes almost all of the green runs, about half of the blue runs, and about 20% of the more difficult terrain. This is just in time for our holiday guests coming in town this weekend.

That means top-to-bottom terrain on Steamboat Ski Resort!

Grab your gear and get first tracks for the year on some of our most popular trails like Buddy’s Run, Tornado Lane, and Upper Vagabond. The crews have worked hard to get these runs ready and Mother Nature has decided to pitch in as well (with 5 inches on Tuesday at 5pm) and it’s still snowing! The resort is currently reporting an 18-inch base at mid-mountain and 19-inch base at the summit on packed powder conditions. With the additional terrain by Wednesday, the resort expects to offer 408 acres, 35 trails, 6 lifts and nearly 3,500 vertical feet of skiing and riding.Go get some snow!

Steamboat Snow Predictions for 2009/2010 See Lots of Snow in Our Future.

Not all winters produce the insane amounts of snow we all crave, however, this season is predicted to be a winter of huge powder dumps for Steamboat! One of the reasons is credited to El Nino himself. These warm ocean currents result in moist wind and by the time they get to Steamboat the clouds are heavy with Champagne Powder™. Though most meterologists are saying it is more of an “off year” for El Nino, the “off-years” is when crazy things happen like enormous snow storms!

Steamboat Ski Resort has also been allowed a head start on making the white fluffy stuff ourselves with early season cold temperatures (perfect for making snow) during November. And today it is snowing! Just mother nature making sure there will be plenty of snow for opening day November 25! So this season don’t miss out on the chance to experience some deep powder and get great lodging deals with ResortQuest. Don’t worry this season will be epic!

Mountain BIking in Steamboat.....Fun for the whole family.

View from Emerald Mountain to the Steamboat ski area!

The area surrounding Steamboat Springs is loaded with great mountain biking trails. If you are from out of town, Mt. Werner has fun and exciting trails for all abilities. The Torian Plum is a great starting point for the trails on this local ski hill! If you would like instruction, be sure to sign up for a mountain biking clinic with a local pro. Rent a bike and all of your gear from any of the shops in town or at the base of the mountain and they will probably give you some pointers about where to go. There are single tracks, two tracks and dirt roads to choose from. It’s even possible to load your bike up the gondola and enjoy the ride down without the pain of the uphill. Some of our favorite trails include Pete’s Wicked Trail, Creekside, Valley View and Zig Zag. Another great place to ride straight from downtown Steamboat Springs is Emerald mountian. Head up Howelsen Hill and beyond towards the top of Emerald Mountain, where you have several awesome trails to choose from. In another direction, check out Strawberry Park, Copper Ridge, Hot Springs Loop, or Mad Creek. These trails are all interconnected.
