I'm just not much of a blogger.Went out 20 Mile road today, taking photos for 3D models mostly.Got some wonderful antique barn time, wooooooo.And snapped a 25 exposure panorama of a little known standing rock.I'll URL it when it's ready to view.

Here's how Old Town Steamboat Springs and the ski mountain looked on the afternoon of NOV 6th. As you can see, the mountain is already building a fine base of snow.Let it DUMP! We already have some snow on the ground, in town and on the mountain. Forecasts are looking good for a bunch more this month, so that we'll have a couple of feet when the Steamboat Ski Area opens on NOV 26th.We'll begin

It's always fun to talk with folks that have never been to Steamboat before, and hear their impressions of the snow that we get here. "The powder!" they say, "I've never been in anything like it!" Well folks, this has been a record year for snowfall in the 'Boat, and it's just lush as it can be.Here's a few pix of the sunny conditions we've had for the last few days.The Cardboard Classic is this

We're up to something like 35 feet of snow so far this season, and it's lush. The base is 96 inches at the top of Storm Peak (altitude 10,377'), and around 76 inches at Thunderhead (top of gondola, altitude 9,070' [thanks to Kent at SkiCorp!]).Here are the latest random pix, for your surfing pleasure:They keep it moving in the Bashor Bowl Terrain Park, and the riders are always better than the

We keep taking photos of the riders around us on the mountain. Enjoy!We're sitting on about 24 feet of snow so far this season! Ride safe and watch out for those tree wells! You can enjoy the trees and still be safe, and help watch out for your fellow riders also. Best bet is to never go into the trees alone, and make a plan for how to handle the times when someone goes missing.

We got about 4 feet of fresh snow in the past 5 days in Steamboat, making it an absolutely epic week for powder riding.These guys didn't sign a release form, they were confident of not being recognized in this weather.Here's a look at the other pix i gotThe reason that the snowflake appears on this photograph as a horizontal line (click photo to see higher res) is that 40 mph of wind makes a

Our series (you didn't MISS IT, did you?) on Steamboat Springs snowboard shops had a lot of good info on where to get a TUNEUP. We want you to find the info you need to get it done while yer in the 'Boat. This shop is not a snowboard shop, per se. They only handle most of the tuning for most of the the boards that come across this mountain.The crew at Edgewerks has been tuning snowboards and

Friday Dec 21 will be remembered. The 5 AM snow report claimed 5 inches of new. By 9 AM, that was at least a foot on top, and coming down steady all day. The afternoon powder junkies still got the satisfaction, just ask Shay.Her photos show that it's STILL Winter Wonderland up there. The ones I took today are just the tiniest bit better than my previous days pix, in my opinion, because I am

It's been a good snow week in the 'Boat. We've seen some wet heavy snow to help with the base, and then some of the lightest champagne flakes ever in the past few days.Priest Creek area is open, and the powder is really stacking up.Here's one of the interesting shots we got, more on the way.

We have an Olympic Gold Medalist on the mountain today, and I'm thinking he brought this latest snow with him. It's kind of heavy snow today, certainly laying a nice base, and it works the burn on our legs.Stein Eriksen, Giant Slalom Gold Medalist (and Silver in the Slalom !) at the 1952 Winter Olympics, was heading up the 4 Points lift this morning. Stein graciously posed for this quick snapshot

Tradition is a big part of our local scene here in Steamboat, for the ranchers, for the skiers, and for the snowboarding community as well. This shop is a part of the tradition because, not only has it been here a long time, it actually has roots in the very early years of the sport of snowboarding. We'll get to the history lesson, you'll see.It was a hoot to sit down and yak with the guys at

Looked to me like 4.5 inches of very light fresh powder on mybalcony rail this morning, this pic is from around 1300 today and you can see that the weather is clearing some.Here's what the mountain looks like today. They got 8 inches mid mountain and are expecting another 2 to 4 by evening. When it starts dumping, it'll be gray here for a week or two... YEAH!We'll keep you posted...

Steamboat is laying down the snow. We got about 10 inches on top yesterday, bringing the base up to 28 inches so far. Won't be long before it's eyeball deep!This last snow wasn't a big one, but was so fluffy and light! Lots of folks went up on Buff Pass and Rabbit Ears to shred the fresh...

It's not about snowboarding, but it is about a river trip that many of us in Steamboat Springs have experienced. Check it out HERE...
