Steamboat Ski Resort Hits 300 Inches of Snow Mark for the 2010/2011 Season

Did everyone get the snow report, the powder alert, the snow memo and the call to all Powder Hounds? 
The latest storm that came barrelling through Steamboat not only made the weekend have good powder conditions but Steamboat received over 3 FEET of snow over 4 days that just made everyone giggly for powder!  This storm also pushed us over the 300" of snow mark for the 2010-2011 season!  That is what a Steamboat Powder Morning is all about!




These are the kind of storms that justifies Steamboat's Champagne Powder® Trademark- its feet and feet of the fluffiest, lightest and softest snow you can imagine.  Champagne Powder directly translates to floating.  And if you have ever felt this sensation it instantly brings a smile to your face.  

According to a press release the Steamboat Ski Resort sent out on  2/8/2011, The resort is reporting a whopping 88-inch base at mid-mountain and 113-inch base at the summit on powder conditions. "The largest summit base ever recorded was during the 1995/96 season when 125 topped the stake. For the month of February, the largest summit base tallied was 124 also in 1995/96. During the last six 400+ snow years, the year-to-date tally as of Feb. 8th was 250.25” in 2008/09; 363” in 2007/08; 327” in 2005/06; 344.25” in 1996/97; 298” in 1995/96 and 226.25” in 1992/93."  So needless to say the powder is piling up!

So while the Steamboat Ski Resort is counting the inches and we are taking powder shots,  all you need to do is get to Steamboat because the skiing is EPIC.
