The storms just keep on rolling in to Steamboat Springs. This weekend, the Steamboat Ski Resort received another 20 inches of snow in 48 hours. On Sunday morning, we woke up to the snow report of 11 inches of new snow, and 9 new inches since the ski resort closed on Saturday. Will I ever be able to sleep in again!

One of the greatest things about Steamboat is the trees. Sure, we are renowned for just how awesome our tree skiing is. But what is not often talked about is the protection they provide. On most snowy days in Steamboat, the flakes are big, fat, fluffy clusters of snow. So light and delicate that skiing during a winter storm is very pleasant.


Then occasionally, like every other ski resort, we get storms that blow in like yesterday's storm. Bitterly cold, windy conditions with snow that can bite the skin. But on days like this, you can escape the elements in the trees. Take your turns in the peace and quiet of the aspens and pines.
