It has been snowing in Steamboat all day today, and I am gearing up for an epic powder day on Wednesday morning.

Until then, I am deferring to the insightful comments of "Straight Talker" Steve Cole, from the Steamboat Ski Area:

"Greetings from Steamboat! We have had two feet of fresh snow in the last week. This has allowed the opening of more terrain and top to bottom skiing from the Storm Peak lift. Sunday saw the opening of many of our signature tree runs from the summit to the Duster cat track. With the Sundown lift still closed, access to these runs and others such as High Noon or any of the time pieces (One O'clock, Two O'clock...) requires a little navigational exploration. This, along with un-crowded runs ensures good soft skiing late into the day."

“Mother Nature has Steamboat squarely in her snow sights and continues to blanket the mountain with snow measuring in the feet,” said Chris Diamond, president and chief operating officer for the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. “We’re in a very snowy weather pattern and it isn’t showing any signs of stopping anytime soon. Diehard powderhounds in the Home of Champagne Powder are loving it!”
