Steam Boat
The 2006/2007 season is only 27 days away and winter has blown in with a bang in Steamboat. Nine inches of snow fell at mid-mountain, and nine inches at the summit in the past 24 hours. Seven inches were reported at the base of the mountain (6,900 feet) and snow is continuing to fall. The first snowstorm of the season hit Steamboat on September 16th, bringing the cumulative total thus far to 47 inches at the summit. Mountain crews have been dealing with these ever changing conditions daily as they work to complete some of the more than $7 million in capital improvements for the upcoming winter. Work continues to move ahead on the Sunshine Express high-speed quad as well as the new trails and snowmaking in the Sunshine Bowl area. In addition, Thunderhead and Rendezvous Saddle Food Courts are getting nearly million dollar face lifts and should be ready to serve up an exciting new menu when the resort opens. With all that’s going on, you don’t want to miss the 2006/2007 ski season, so plan your winter vacation now.
