Steamboat Springs has received over 2 Feet of new snow since Thanksgiving.
This past week, severe winter weather stormed across Colorado, providing much-needed snowfall on the slopes of nearly every ski resort in the state. Durango and Silverton Mountain were the big winners on this storm, with roughly 3 feet of snow in less than 2 days.
At the start of the storm, temperatures in Steamboat hovered in the low-30's, which produced a slightly heavier & wetter version of our typical Champagne Powder. (I call it pina colada powder?)
Although wet snow isn't as much fun to ski or shovel, it's the best kind of snowfall for building up your early-season base on the mountain.
By the end of the storm, the Steamboat snow was as light and fluffy as I've ever seen in my 10 years in Steamboat.
You know the Steamboat powder is good when you shut your car door and all the snow falls off the windows.
More snow is in the forecast for Colorado, and winter temperatures have made for great snowmaking conditions on the mountain.
