Steamboat Springs receives 11 inches of new Snow!

Do you remember "The Electric Company" TV show? The one with the groovy numbers song? This tune was tickling me between my ears as I plowed through the first big snow dump at the Steamboat Springs Ski Resort, "S-s-s-snow, snow, sn-sno-sn-sno-snow, snow..."

Eleven inches of new snow, to be exact!

It won't be long before my good friend, Powderman Shredworthy, starts hiking his ski bum self up that mountain to shred the early stuff on his rock boards. Look for the tracks on the Steamboat Mountain Cam!

Steamboat Receives First Significant Snow Fall

This morning we woke to the first significant snow fall in Steamboat Springs this fall. True, it has snowed and rained every Sunday for the past month and the ski area's six peaks have been snow capped all that time. But, today was the first day that we have woken to snow on the ground around ResortQuest's condos and townhomes; today was the first day we had to scrape snow off the car.

Actually, "scrape" is the wrong word. I had to open my car doors and shut them with a little less force than a slam. In true Steamboat Champagne Powder fashion, the snow just slides off.

This is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The first snowfalls on the Aspen's which still have luminous gold leaves is a sight everyone should see. So, here are a couple of pictures from our Flickr Photo of the Day collection...

...and as I type, the clouds have rolled in over our town and it is DUMPING SNOW! My new K2 Tough Luv skis are displayed by my front door as a reminder that the Steamboat ski season is only a month away. I am counting the snowflakes until opening day! See you then.

Misty Mountain Top

Mellow Greetings from the Shredmeister!

The Base of the Steamboat Ski Area is in the midst of a Lodging revolution: The whole of the Steamboat Mountain is still this morning beneath a cottony veil of late Fall mist. The eerie calm is broken by the whack-whack-whack of the nail guns, the jibba-jibba-jack! of the power hammers and the ever-patient beep, beep of the earth movers and construction machines re-tracing their path on their way to munch another mouthful of Colorado earth.

We here at RQ are brimming with excitement at our new acquisitions, a top base area location in the Snowflower Condominiums, along with the top-of-the-line Emerald Lodge at Trappeur's Crossing Resort augmenting our offerings for this season onward.

With the Summit of the Steamboat Ski Area starting to nuzzle again under the coming Winter's blanket of White, I can't wait to start checking the Steamboat Springs' Snow Report, and I'm already dreaming of the Pow we'll shred under bluebird skies. I can hear the excitement in our guests' voices as they call to cash in on our last-minute Lodging and Lift Ticket Deals. Don't YOU miss out!
