Steamboat Weather & Snow Report

A whole month has slipped past without a word from out team here at ResortQuest about the ski conditions in Steamboat. There are several reasons I could speculate the lapse in posts: it's partly because we have been too busy carving up the powder, the groomers, Shadows, Closets and everything in between at the Steamboat Ski Area...

It's partly because we have been too busy accommodating guests at vacation rentals. Yes! Despite what everyone says, Steamboat Springs is still attracting skiers and riders from all around the country. Seriously, how could you pass up a ski vacation here - the Steamboat flight deals are unbelievable! And you won't come by lodging deals like these again, such as our "Every 3rd Night FREE + a FREE upgrade!"

It's partly because our security settings were recently changed and I have not been able to access my blog for a few weeks... hmm.

Excuses aside, we are back in blogging business and ready to report every snow flake, storm and epic dump on the Steamboat Ski Resort.

Steamboat has had some deliciously warm weather the past week. Fortunately we had great snow in December and January, and a good start to February. We have a solid, deep base. As I leisurely skied the groomers yesterday, I kept thinking about how days like this are some of my favorite days. I will never pass up a powder day. However, sometimes the freedom from extra layers, neck warmers, and the biting cold is blissful. On the chairlift, soak up the sun on your face, and on your back while your fly down the corduroy.

Steamboat Straightalker, Riley Polumbus, puts it nicely today: "The grooming crews did another stellar job last night they rolled both Rolex and Westside! Depending on elevation, the snow is either a carvy packed powder (top of Buddy's) or a soft and malleable spring snow (Eagle's Nest). I'm going to give the bumps a couple more hours to soften up and take a few more cruisers, I heard Valley View was fun and it too was rolled so I better get on it!"
