Here’s the info on the superpipe challenge: 7th ANNUAL MAVERICKS SUPERPIPE CHALLENGE Skiers and riders will compete in the [...]

Managed to make it out onto the mountain today with co-workers. It was a bit overcast and cloudy with some sunshine on the lower mountain. I was riding with Paige, Rochelle, Scott and Michelle for the afternoon. Since it’s still a busy week in town with tourists, I did happen to get a good 20 [...]

Lately in Steamboat it’s been cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. Today I did an afternoon riding session in the halfpipe. It’s packed in town right now, busiest week of the year surprisingly so being in the pipe was less busy than other spots on the mountain.The pipe today was rough for [...]

It is spring in Steamboat. The sun is out constantly, the slush is coming out on the lower mountain and my jacket got changed out for my sunny spring jacket. I managed to make it out on the snow today, just headed straight to the halfpipe to close out the afternoon and ride till the [...]

It was a beautiful day outside so I had to make some laps on my lunch/ride break so I would keep my sanity. It was great to listen to music again on the mountain. My favorite Burton headphone beanie (the black one) finally died. So now I’m rocking my 2nd Burton headphone beanie, a bit [...]

It was the perfect weekend to head out of Steamboat to ride another mountain so I took up the opportunity to visit Tom down in Summit County. I left Steamboat Saturday afternoon after taking advantage of some much needed rest. The drive to summit county was really quick, took an hour and a half to [...]

It was another bluebird sunny day in Steamboat…so of course had to get out on the mountain to enjoy the sun while it lasted. It was pretty mellow in the afternoon. A lot of the tourist traffic has died down so it’s less crowded which is so nice having the mountain back to yourself. I [...]

This morning it was snowing and by the afternoon the sun had come out for another bluebird day in Steamboat. Today was also the 34th annual cowboy downhill, big Steamboat tradition of having the cowboys and professional bull riders come up to Steamboat, participate in a dual slalom with a jump. I watched a couple [...]

Made it to the mountain with my house mates Leo and Tara to start off the day. When we rode down to the base, it was definitely lines but the gondola looked less busy than Christie Express so we hit up the singles line in the gondola. We headed over to sundown cause friends were [...]

Today was cold…in fact even just going outside was very very cold. It was in the negative degrees all day, -20 on the mountain in the morning and finally when I got to the mountain was still -1 but better than -20 out. Heading up Christie Even though I don’t have balls…I definitely had some [...]
