The mountain is in great shape, there's no way around that. The 5" that fell yesterday softened the bumps, groomers, and glades up nicely; it was a great day to welcome in over 75 disabled skiers and riders, their guests, and our dedicated volunteers.
[The 4th Annual Steamboat All Mountain Ski and Ride camp runs January 12-15, 2009.]
As always, the group split up early this morning, some were just waaaay to anxious to wait and I sure don't blame them, but there was plenty of snow out there for everyone. We were left in the dust with a few stragglers, but caught up with Butch Butler from North Carolina first, and then Drew Wills and fam from Colorado Springs as well as Stan Roberson from Virginia and Adaptive Adventure's primo coach and adaptive wizard from Japan, Mau Thompson.
Favorite run had to be Ramrod, but am pretty sure the rest of them were second place! The freshies were abound- the hill was empty. We took 1230 trees, Pumphouse trees, and Moonlight Trees before a track was in there, and then we moved on to the groomers. . .
Other favs freshly groomed with a layer of frosting ~ Rolex, West Side, Rainbow, One Oclock and Sunshine Lift Line. Even the push piles were powder pillows that exploded on impact; nothing stopping you today.
Keep snowdancing for us, this is a POWDER CAMP!!
Visualize deeeeep powda.
