Insider Snow Report: 350" Inches of Snow and Keep It Coming!

With only about a month left in the 2010/2011 Ski Season, Mother Nature has given Steamboat 350" inches of snow so far this year and we're telling her to keep it coming! Read more about our 350" Inch milestone! 

Tony U. is our front desk manager at our Torian Plum property and he made it out for some incredible ski runs yesterday when we received almost a foot of powder by the end of the day yesterday (3/8/2011).  Here is his insider tips...

"Yesterday, we woke up with 2 inches of fresh powder that had turned into nearly a foot by the day's end, and then the sun came out!  So the 3 o'clock shift change came around, and I grabbed the Helmet Camera from its shelf and hustled up for a couple of late day ski runs on the Steamboat Ski Area.  Steamboat is now open with their Spring Hours (read more), which means that upper mountain lifts run later, some as late as 4:15, and Christie Peak Express runs til 4:30!  

As I reached the top of the Steamboat Gondola, the upper mountain was still socked in so I did a quick run on Rudi's Run on down to catch the last few chairs on Burgess Creek Lift.  As I reached the top of Burgess Creek Lift, the glorious sun beckoned me towards Vagabond, and I followed two old-school locals down the sweet powder stash that frames the top of Upper Concentration over towards old Arrowhead lift line.  Not being an expert on the teles yet, I chickened out on the Arrowhead stash and bailed onto Vagabond, which, though skied over, was amazingly good for 4:15pm.  Not bad for an after-work break!" - Tony U.

This spring will be gracing us with Epic Spring conditions so make sure you do not miss the Spring Party- its called Springalicious.  We're even selling $99 four day lift tickets- seriously its going to be a party! Book now!
