Mother Nature took care of the Steamboat Locals this morning with 21 inches of the fluffy white stuff in a 24 hour period. We are only 7 days into April, and I think this might be the best month we have had all year! I am pretty sure the city of Steamboat Springs was closed for business until 11am today - - everyone in town either used their "powder clause", called in sick . .or simply said work smirk, I am heading to the Ski Mountain.
I don't have any great face shots of us skiing or some sweet lines to show you . . . because you don't have time to stop and take pictures on a day like today, especially when every local in Steamboat is after your powder stash!! A local's powder day is similar to the video game Pac-Man . . .gobble up as much you can as fast as you can, and boy did it go fast!
The picture below is the lift line for Morningside - - typically one of those lifts you just ski up to and sit down on the first chair that comes by. This lift provides access to some great terrain off the top of Storm Peak and is the only lift that takes you there . . . . as you can see from the hordes of skiers/boarders, everyone had the same idea!
