I just had an emotional rollercoaster because you said it's not crowded, then one nanosecond later Tp4 said it gets just as crowded as hell. I don't want to ski in hell. I tried to quote both of you but since each is on a separate page it was way too complicated to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did spring breaking. I likely wouldnt go anywhere in March due to higher temps and increased chance of rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I don't think Steamboat gets crowded at all, especially compared to the major Vail resorts. Obviously there is a bit of a confined effect during peak times, since there is nowhere else closeby really for tourists to spill over into, so when the town is full the mountain is full. Plenty of terrain to disappear into though. Up there with Telluride and Crusty Butt. If you want to see crowded, go to Breck on a weekend after 10am.

On every trip I've been on so far it has never been crowded, except on powder days in the morning for like an hour. I always go Monday through Thursday, and sometimes stay til Friday.

When I read that somewhere this morning I decided on Steamboat. I'm really big on snow conditions and not on terrain. What a great marketing gimmick.

Every week from late January onward gets slightly busier than the previous one until mid-late March then things empty out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboat has a nice pod off to the left that has some mad river glen esque natural terrain. I only skied steamboat for two days in early April 2014...you can handle most of the single blacks there’s. It’s not a very tough mountain. Upper right is a whole pod of light blue trails and one block called Huervos Rancheros lol Edited November 11, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My objective is to get a deep powder day, or at least below freezing temps, on my annual ski trips. The last 3 at Killington, Stowe and Colorado were epic. But it's all luck like picking the winning lottery numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson hole started off great with 42” of snow and now it’s warm and dry there but just a couple good storms and all could change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was a noob, I stayed inside the hotel on a powder day at Killington because it was too far to drive in the snow on shitty tires I had at the time - I was staying in Rutland. Lololol.

They are opening Friday so Blue doesnt attemp to open with Vista, and take the crown. Usually this would be "boulder gives back" as well. Not that that is still not in the cards though.
