Dan the man in Christmas tree bowl

One day at WP on Sunday. The pass / lodging deal here in Steamboat was insanely good.

Here's the mountain from our hotel and another powder shot. We also got photo bombed by a Steamboat employee which is incredibly awesome.

Great first day. We ended up with first gondi (excluding the first tracks crew) then made our way to the storm peak chair and got first chair there as well. It wasn't the powder day that we were hoping for but there was powder, some untracked (especially in the Christmas tree bowl / chutes area) and we were skiing so it's all good. The weather has been hovering around freezing so the 6 inches that did fall yesterday wasn't the lightest snow. As mentioned, the best / deepest snow by far was in the Christmas tree bowl area. Morningside (in the morning) was also good. It got a little crusty later on. Phillycore called it a day around 3:15. Dan and I took one more run on one of the front facing trails that they use for night skiing (can't remember the name of it). By that time it was full on spring skiing near the base. We got our free hot chocolate and called it a day. First impressions of Steamboat... It's playful as hell. Kinda like a Gore mountain on steroids in that your skiing different sections serviced by different lifts. We rode the gondi once and that was it since the best stuff is up top. Looking forward to tomorrow.

$7 for a slice of pizza... SMH

Wish granted.. Phillycore gettin some

Just finished lunch. We're back out. Over to Morningside again then Christmas tree bowl.

I'm the only Steamboat virgin or was I should say

Christmas tree bowl / chutes.. Steep as hell

Morningside

It's not light powder by any means

View from the top of the gondi...

Second in line for the gondi...

The fog has lifted and it's currently mad Beatles... Here comes the sun.

Doug. We're here to ski. Could care less about "special stores"

J law. Give him 2 points for dropping a D in a Safeway. Takes balls.

Here was the scene on rabbit ears pass. Tomorrow is going to be good. Rack it.

Berthoud was pretty nuts. Since it was snowing pretty good up there, the Back country crowd were doing their thing. Dan and I wanted to boot up but Phillycore was having none of it.

We're sitting on a taxi way and Dan is none to happy about it.

First ski day will be on thurs.
