Wow, the flakes just keeps coming down in the Boat this December with almost 10 feet of snow so far!! TEN! And we skied another 18” of the light and fluffy stuff this morning as it just seemed to keep getting better and better. (Sorry, those of you who have to work mornings!)

Instead of our staple beeline to Four Points we ducked off the front side to Teds Ridge - hero bumps at the top and thigh-high depth the whole way down - and headed right over to Pioneer Ridge for some solitude from the masses - 15,000 of them to be exact. . .

And it was simply pow-gasmic today, over, and over again. From Longhorn to Middle Rib we hit Pony lift six times in all, in and out of the trees, giggling and bouncing over powdery bumps like Tiggers, not caring if we got buried, covered, tumbled, and tossed, if the goggles failed a little or if the visibility was like ocean fog – today was the best day of the season so far!

We marveled at the fact that we were actually out enjoying the elements – what many visitors curse – blowing sideways, 50-ft visibility (at best), and 10 degrees. Not exactly ideal for outdoor fun... unless you're in Steamboat that is.

I gave the new GoPro my first test run with the chest harness, so bear with the learning curve… practice makes perfect. 


And guess what, it’s still snowing!!!  So we'll see you In The Deep sooner than later!
