Right on time as always, October 31st brings precipitation to the 'Boat. Check in on Tuesday, it's supposed to turn cold then, and as we hope, not stop snowing until mid-April.
What can we say, we're powder hounds.... Bring it!

Halloween.
This is about the time of year it begins to snow. We've all been relaxed about it because last winter trickled out long and cold well into June, welcoming the warm sunny days and lengthy fall colors. But this week, we all started getting antsy. The snow we got about 10 days ago is melting off the peaks, the sun persists, and the Oak Creek Dowser's 08-09 prediction of 30% more snow over last year's epic and record breaking 550" season seems to be teasing us.
We know it will snow soon, but with 26 days left to build a base, our impatience has finally begun.
Perhaps part of the anticipation... Craig and I have begun to organize ourselves and our fundraising efforts for our 4th Annual All Mountain Ski Camp with Adaptive Adventures, Steamboat Powdercats and Steamboat Ski Area. By writing press releases about deep fresh snow and reviewing photos from last year, it's no wonder we've finally started chomping at the bit. We are also adding a new event to follow this camp (teaser) as well as a kids camp, so our hands will be full for the next couple of months as we grow what is already a proudly successful event. Stay Tuned...
