Its understandable as Steamboat has received 61"of snow over a week of winter storms making it a 32"
base! So in the name of powder and a few leg burning hours of hiking they finally got some powder.... See the Current Weather. See a map of the Steamboat Ski Resort.(Written by Will Stone) "My friends and I took a journey up to the Gondola. We all drove up the Thunderhead lift and started up “Why Not”. This is a nice run to hike because of the gradient. We switched backed and forth till we got to Vagabond. We took a rest and shed some clothing layers even though the snow was already falling- its a steep hike! We had 3 more steep pitches
to climb before we got to the top. I was using my skins and everyone else was using snow shoes. We arrived after 2 hours of hiking. The snow was falling hard and we were amped to head down. We started skiing down Heavenly Daze hugging the skiers right where the cat had not passed through. Snow was deep and endless. We then got Ted’s Ridge where we debated for about 3 seconds on where to go next. It was unanimous Ted’s ridge it was. We all surfed down Ted’s-it was awesome. Fresh lines all the way down. We got back to Thunderhead lift and so much snow had fallen since we left that my truck was covered. Wow what a great way to open up the Steamboat Ski Season! And the snow is still falling!"
It's true the snow is still falling and the opening day of Steamboat is going to be an incredible one!
