Not all surprises are good ones but if a surprise involves powder then its going to be a good day!
The 5 am snow report for the Steamboat Ski Resort said that we had received 3” of new snow overnight. I became slightly skeptical of this figure when I went out side to start my car this around 7am and it was covered in at least 4”…in town. Usually if we get that much in town then the Ski Resort is sure to be covered in fluff. I decided today, it looked like it would be a good day to take a ski break. Around 11am, I met a few co-workers at the gondola and headed up. The further up the gondola climbed the more the snow started dumping outside. When we finally reached the top of storm peak we discovered that we had actually received about 7” of fresh powder! See the current weather and snow forecast. Read Surprise Powder Part 2
We started by cutting across Buddy’s run to Chute 1 and down to Flying Z. From there we shot down Drop Out and headed over to the Pony Express chair lift to see if we could find some fresh lines. This ended up being the best decision we could have made. As we charged through the trees and open fields we plowed through pillows of powder up to our waists! We reached the bottom of the hill around 12:30 and headed back to work, totally refreshed from our surprise powder day. See a Ski Trails Map.
