10-15" of snow accumulation by Tuesday

The Steamboat Pilot says that "Steamboat residents could expect 10-15" of snow accumulation by Tuesday morning"

It seems like the last few posts have just been about the weather and ... you're right! We are excited to see so much snow so early. There is no guarantee that early snow will mean a lot of snow this winter but based on past history it's a pretty good indicator. We are so excited about the early snowfall that we are planning a quick trip in early December.

 

November is here and the resort travel agencies have ended their early booking discount so we decided to continue our "Early Booking Discount" until Black Friday November 29, 2013. Check out our calendar on our Steamboat Rockies web site to see if your dates are still available! Don't forget to mention this post to get the "Early Booking Discount".

Winter Storm Warning for Steamboat

Winter Storm Warning

Steamboat is under a Winter Storm Warning until Friday Evening. While we are thrilled to see the snow coming so early, we are thinking of our friends and family in Steamboat and hope they stay warm the next few days.

 

The Weather Channel says that snow accumulations may be 5" to 10" or higher along north and northwest facing slopes and The Steamboat Springs area can expect 3" to 7" of snow accumulations.

 

Even our friends at Google issued a Winter Storm Warning. Let's hope this early start means lots of Champagne Powder this year.

Starting the Season

A new season begins!

We have been very lax this summer keeping up with our posts. I guess it's hard to think of Winter in Steamboat when its been in the high 90's with 100% humidity in South Florida. We have not made our summer trip to Steamboat yet but we are planning for late August. For our followers, future and past, I will make every effort to keep up with The Boat! Keep checking back we have some exciting news for the new winter season. Here is a picture from last year to remind everyone why we go to Steamboat in the winter!

It's Snowing at the Boat .... Again!

The weather has been great we get a few inches of snow and then it's clear and sunny for a few days. This video was taken on the Bar-U-E lift headed up to the top of Storm Peak. 

Mountain from Downtown

We were coming back from "Big House Burgers" and the view of the Mountain while downtown was spectacular. In the first photo you can see the runs all across the face of the Mountain.

In this photo you can clearly see the snow clouds over the Gondola and above while the sun was shining down on Lincoln Avenue.

The Snow has Fallen on Tomahawk Run

As of this date Steamboat has gotten over 140" of Snow! This video is a short clip of Tomahawk Run. Tomahawk is one over my favorite runs. It has a little bit for everyone and is over 1.3 miles long from top to bottom.

Here is a much longer clip. It runs over 4:00 minutes but shows every bit of Tomahawk. Its a little long but well worth the view. Enjoy!

Our Guests

We are going to focus on some of our friends, families and guests. Check out the fun everyone is having.

82" of Snow

That's right, 82 inches of snow since December 01, 2012! Although we were off to a slow start in December Steamboat has seen a ton of snow. We have received 36" in the last week. If you have had a chance to check out the Steamboat Web Cams go to Steamboat WebCams The snow is falling!

Great relaxation after a cold day in the snow.

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!
