Happy Times

We had the best weather during our recent trip!

Snow, Snow, Snow

SNOW!

The first day we arrived there was only a few inches. It started snowing on December 14, 2012 and it hasn't stopped since. The conditions have been so good that they opened 2 more lifts and several runs. When we spoke to one of the Ambassadors they said that by Monday December 17, 2012 they should be opening the Sunshine Lift and maybe even Morningside. This video was taken at Slopeside Grill. As you can see it was snowing profusely. 

It's Been a While!

We have been busy preparing for the season. We are completing our first trip of the season and thought we should share some pictures.

This is the view out the back door. If you look closely you will notice it is snowing. Since we have been here we have gotten over 20" of snow. 

SNOW!

 

Storm Peak sees 1st snow of season!

Our updated kitchen

The dining room seats 6 and the breakfast bar seats 3. We have high speed B/G/N wireless WIFI available as well LAN connection.

 

Guest Bedroom

The Guest Bedroom

 

We have added new artwork to the bedrooms as well as all new linens.

 

Both bedrooms feature new HD Televisions with built in DVD players.

 

A beautiful view of Emerald Mountain is seen from all of the windows.

 

 

 

Living Room

Let's take a look at the living room.

 

We replaced the sofa with a brand new queen sleeper sofa. For added seating comfort, we added a leather love seat.

 

The living room is very spacious offering plenty of room to move around and still comfortable seating for everyone to enjoy.

 

We have a brand new Television with Comcast Cable. The BlueRay DVD player is Netflix and VUDU capable and we have a limited DVD library.

Pool and Hot Tubs are heated yearound

The pool area is located just outside our patio door. It's close to walk to but the barrier wall keeps the noise away. The pool and hot tubs are heated during the summer and the winter so its always a refreshing trip.

 

 

Master Bedrooms

Let's show off the new master bedroom

 

 

Both Bedrooms feature all new linens and bedclothes.

 

 

We have new artwork throughout the condo. 

 

The televisions in both bedrooms are new

LED and feature a built in DVD player.

 

Now for a few of the inside

Today we are going to feature the the inside of the Condo. we are going to start with the Dining Room.

A little of the Dining Room, Kitchen and Living Room. Our Condo is fully equiped and has lots of space.

The Dining Room table seats 6 and the kitchen bar seats an additional 3.

 

Since we have been a frequent visitor to The Rockies for several years we thought of all the things that we had (or didn't have) at other units we have stayed in and covered everything!

Exterior Photos

Since we just got back from Steamboat and we have renovated the Condo we thought we should show off a few pictures of the new place. Let's start with a few pictures of the exterior.

The best picture showing the complex from Rockies Way.

This one is from the top of the hill. The center section is the entrance to the pool and our unit. Our unit is on the ground floor and only 10 stairs from the parking lot level.

This is a view of Emerald Mountian taken from the pool. It is also the view from our patio, living room, guest bedroom and Master Bedroom.

Throughout the next few weeks we will post various pictures of the Condo and all the upgrades we have made.

We made the Steamboat Pilot!

While we were redocorating, we donated the old couch to the Restore - Habitat for Humanity and it was captured by the local Steamboat Pilot. Check out the story at Steamboat Pilot!

Sunset from the Gondola

We are just leaving Steamboat and captured this phenomenal sunset from the top of Thunderhead. What a great trip. It's true ...summers in the boat are just as good as winters!

Travel Tip 4.2 - More what to do when you get here

Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club

What better summer activity than a round of golf at the beautiful Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club? The course is adorned with tumbling streams in the backdrop of Mount Werner. The course features 18 holes surrounded by aspens and evergreens. Plan a rond of golf during your next summer trip to Steamboat Springs. Visit them at www.rollingstoneranchgolf.com

More of what to do when you get here.

Another all-encompassing source of activities is located at Saddleback Ranch. During the summer season they offer; Horseback Riding, Cattle Driving, ATV Riding and Wagon Dinner Rides. In the winter they offer; a great Tubing Hill, Dinner Sleigh Rides, Horseback Riding and Snowmobile Tours. They are located about half way between town and the airport but they have a great shuttle system that gets you there and back. For more information visit them at www.saddlebackranch.net

Travel Tip 4 - What to do when you get here?

What to do when you get to Steamboat?

We will have to spread this topic over several blogs. The most obvious divide is summer versus winter. Since we still have a couple of months of summer left lets start with the Summer Activities.

The most obvious source of activities in Steamboat will allways be Steamboat Resorts. As with the winter activities, the Steamboat Resort offers many summer thrills.

Rafting

Gondola Rides

Hot Air Balloons

Alpine Slide

Horse Back Riding

Mountain Biking

These are just a few of the activities they offer. Steamboat Resorts web site www.steamboat.com is a great place to start.

Hot Springs

Steamboat enjoys the benefit of two beautiful but drastically different Hot Springs. Pictured above is Old Town Hot Springs. Located at 136 Lincoln Ave, Old Town has it's own stop on SST Bus Route. Old Town has two outdoor hot spring mineral pools, two Water Slides for the kids, a 25 yard lap pool and a fitness center. For more info check out their website at http://www.oldtownhotsprings.org/

For a totally different experience, you should consider Strawberry Park Hot Springs. Strawberry Park is about a 30 minute ride out of town but you will need to schedule a shuttle to get there. During the winter season you will need a four wheel drive vehicle or a two wheel drive vehicle with chains. Strawberry Park is very secluded and offers several pools of varying temperature. If you go at night you will need to bring a flashlight. The views are incredible, the stars look like they are so close you can reach out and touch them.
