IN THE DEEP

So feeling guilty we hadn't been up there, and getting some slack from one of our loyal readers in Bethesda Md, we watched the clouds roll in last night, excited to ski today. However, it never snowed very hard yesterday, despite the dedicated powderhound dance we were all doing, and despite the forecast for snow from Monday night to Wednesday morning. Alas, the storm drifted south and pounded ski areas from the CO/NM border up to Aspen. Rarely does Steamboat get jipped on storms that have dumped that much precip on the west coast, but such was the case today. We got a call around 10am telling us to stay inside, it wasn't pretty up there (despite what the marketing team is telling you ST readers).

It's absolutely gorgeous outside right now, and had our afternoons not been filled with meetings and such we'd likely be up there, but instead we look forward to Thunderhead Lift opening soon to make Craig's upload a whole lot easier (hopefully this weekend). Cutting the Gondy line at 8:25am is fine and all, but it's nice for him to get out of the wheelchair at the base and not see it again until we're done. Bringing two carloads worth of equipment up the hill with us is downright ski-schoolish, and we don't roll like that.

See you in the deep-
