I wasn’t sure if I’d hit up the mountain today but as soon as I made it to the top of the superpipe and had my best run…there was no turning back on what a fun afternoon it would be.  I came up alone since I had just dropped off Mike at the airport and [...]

Mike arrived in town yesterday so he hit up the slopes today but by the time I made it out for my ride break it was the end of the day for him so we missed making turns together.  I ended up lapping park/superpipe with Tracy and Becca for the afternoon…perfect girls day to shred [...]

It’s fun how a weekend of sledding and snowboarding in the backcountry can work the muscles a lot harder than expected and yesterday I was sore from the weekend.  With no new snow and bluebird skies, it  was the perfect day for park laps in Rabbit Ears Park, Bashor and Lil’ Rodeo for my ride [...]

This year I’ve been really excited about park because I’m finally hitting features and trying to progress my park riding.  I feel comfortable on every feature in the small park, a couple features in the medium park and any day that it’s bluebird outside I’m generally taking a ride break to the park especially when [...]

After a couple morning errands in Steamboat I picked up Amy and Tessa on the way to the mountain for a day of snowboarding.  We took the gondola up and met Philip at the top for a couple laps on BC chairlift and what terrain was open. The conditions have been no new snow and [...]

Despite the really cold temperatures that have been hitting Colorado, I set out today on my ride break to warm up my body with park laps.  Nothing has really changed on the mountain, no new snow and no new features but that doesn’t bother me since I’m still working on getting comfortable in the park. [...]

I arrived back in Steamboat last night so today I enjoyed a good morning of sleeping in before deciding to wrangle up my gear and head to the mountain.  With no new snow on the slopes and people telling me how icy/cruddy the mountain is, I just went to Christie Peak to lap the terrain [...]
