Steamboat Straight Talk Snow Report: 10/30/09
The season is changing, the snow is falling both natural and machine-made, and the mountain is getting ready to usher in another fantastic season in less than a month. Don’t wait any longer; start getting in shape now, your equipment tuned and your season pass in hand because Opening Day will be here before you know it!
Since the first of October, Steamboat has seen a number of major storms move through the valley, leaving the mountain absolutely blanketed with snow. Snowmaking operations kicked off Oct. 25th adding more excitement to the start of the season and opening day fever!
This season is already shining brightly for Ski Town, U.S.A.® with exciting events such as the U.S. Olympic Trials in Freestyle and Nordic Combined skiing and a free Big Head Todd & the Monsters concert in December; on-mountain improvements including the new Kids’ Vacation Center, Ski & Snowboard School ticket office and terrain park manager; as well as the opening of One Steamboat Place, the Wildhorse Gondola and portions of the new public base area promenade.
As you know, Steamboat is about abundant Champagne Powder snow, skiing/riding from first chair to last and enjoying this wonderful mountain. I hope you are looking forward to the upcoming season as much as I am. Steamboat’s Opening Day is scheduled for Wednesday, November 25th with the traditional Scholarship Day program.
Here’s to hoping for back-to-back-to-back winters of over 400 plus inches of Champagne Powder™ snow. Keep the flakes falling and the snow piling up!
