The snow for the Steamboat Ski Resort fell 1 day later than forecasted this weekend, so we drove north toward Clark, Colorado to skin up Hahn's Peak. We were totally surprised at how much snow had fallen over night and while we were skinning up the mountain on Saturday - - it was definitely knee to thigh deep and the turns were well worth the effort! We cheated a little bit and used snowmobiles to climb up to the base of Hahn's Peak - - and then we skinned the rest of the way to treeline. We skied the south/south-west side of this mtn and made 2 laps of a little over 1,000 feet each before calling it a day. We were not able to enjoy any views during our trip - everything was socked in with the Snow storm - but we will back again on a blue bird day!
