9 inches of new snow and more on the way!

SNOW: 9" (24 hrs); 9" (48 hrs); Base: 47"; Total: 176"
CONDITIONS: Powder Powder
LIFTS: 16/18
TRAILS: 160/165
TEMP: 27/15

** Winter Storm Warning in affect until 6pm Monday **

Sadly, I am out of town this weekend, and looks like I am missing another powder day. Fortunately, December's epic skiing is as fresh in my mind as this fresh new snow. I can alomost imagine what it is like in Steamboat.

But for more honest insight, let's turn to the Steamboat Ski Resort's Straightalker, Amy Gregorich: "It’s here folks – and it’s not done yet! The most talked-about storm of the season is looming above us as I write this report for you. It started last night by dropping a buttery 9 inches, and is forecast to continue through today and into tomorrow, too. This storm can’t quite seem to make up it’s mind, either, as there are both clear blue areas of sky and dark, looming clouds."

There is a winter storm warning in Steamboat Springs until 6pm Monday. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Hey Katy,

Hopefully you're out of town visiting Powder Mountain, Crested Butte, Silverton or at the beach. I woke up this morning hoping to jump on the snow blower to dig my way to the gondola and saddly, the storm stayed south - just 3.5" at midmtn report. Storm Peak maybe good but I think this will be a work day.
