2 Days till Opening and it's dumping snow!

There are only two more sleeps till the Steamboat Ski Resort opens its ski trails for the 2007/2008 ski season. Opening Day is November 30th.

Overnight, Steamboat received 6 inches of new snow. This is on top of the 3-5 inches we received over the last few days and the 9 inches that we received the day before Thanksgiving. Winter is officially here.

Opening Day will be especially exciting this year due to the Grand Opening of the Christie Peak Express ski lift, just outside the Torian Plum. The ribbon cutting and Grand Opening at 8:30am on Friday kicks off a weekend of celebration that includes a $6 Pancake Breakfast and Après ski specials at the Bear River Bar & Grill with live music from Worried Men.

Scholarship Day, the traditional opening day benefit for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, is also Friday, November 30. As in past years, all proceeds from Scholarship Day’s specially priced lift ticket will benefit the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club’s Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support for deserving children participating in Club programs. The Scholarship Day program has raised more than $525,000 since its inception in 1991.
