Today was the last ride break of the season, ride breaks are the reason I can get up on the mountain even though I work a full time Monday to Friday normal job.  It means instead of lunch, I can shred and I’ll definitely miss having that luxury out of the office each day. I [...]

It’s hard to believe that in just a matter of days the mountain will close, my ride breaks will become lunch breaks and the snow will start to melt quickly bringing out colors other than white.  I’m sad that the season is ending but also ready for Steamboat to close which lets me move on. [...]

It’s hard to believe that even in April there are Winter Storm Warnings but last night we received another winter storm rolling through Steamboat delivering a powder day on the mountain this morning. During the winter on a powder day you have to get to the gondola early to get in line and start getting [...]

This has been one interesting season for conditions on the mountain, there’s no guarantee to what the weather or snow will be like until you get up on the slopes.  Today was a really slow snow day on lower mountain, almost warm but not fully bluebird out and really hard to judge speed in spots, [...]

Just a week left till Steamboat closes which means enjoying the mountain as much as possible while it’s open.  This weekend was my last weekend that I plan to in Steamboat for April so it was good to take it easy, get to the mountain when I felt like waking up and just enjoy the [...]

I came in late last night from dinner at the Carrigan house and ended up crashing hard till this morning.  During my hours of sleep, it snowed in town and delivered a couple new inches on the mountain that just got better as the snow kept falling during the day. I’ve been rocking the C2 [...]

Winter arrived back in Steamboat!  Friday I watched it snow most of the day and finally got to get outside to enjoy some of the new snow.  I headed up with the girls, Claire and Steph to get our pow turns on. The gals, Claire and Steph stoked for the new snow! Steph getting some [...]

Mother nature came through Steamboat and delivered a late season storm that dropped a couple inches on the mountain today.  It was quite the surprise to wake up and notice new snow outside my house this morning.  I kept to my promise of riding everyday till Steamboat closes and headed out to unsure mountain conditions [...]

I’ve decided that I’m going to ride every day until Steamboat closes on April 11th because I have no reason not to and because there’s 12 days left in the season.  Usually I might skip a day or two during the week to get errands done in town but I’m dedicated to stomping some end [...]

It’s becoming clearer each day that the season is coming to an end in Steamboat, there’s more brown than white on the mountain and April is just days away.  The mountain is set to close April 11th, after that I’ll be heading down to Summit County to ride the longer season at A-Basin. Normally the [...]
