Steamboat Springs, CO: 6 feet of new snow in a matter of weeks



All I can say is WOW....what a difference a few weeks can make.

You may recall that the Steamboat Ski Resort delayed their opening over Thanksgiving Weekend due to lack of snow. (...they had none...)

Here we are a few weeks later, and nearly 6 feet of new snow has fallen from the sky to blanket the Yampa Valley with Champagne Powder.

The Steamboat Ski Resort is now boasting over 1400 acres top-to-bottom ski terrain open, with both the Storm Peak Express and the Sundown Express Lifts in operation for the season.

This is unprecendented for mid December, and even more shocking considering the Steamboat area was absolutely bone-dry just a few weeks ago.

The Steamboat Ski Resort has received 90" of snow so far this ski season. The skiing is incredible right now, just in time for the holiday rush of visitors to Steamboat.
