Snow Hugger Skis Steamboat

Last night we drove from Denver to Steamboat for a long weekend in the mountains with friends. It’s been over a year since I last skied Steamboat and I’ve been anticipating this trip for a couple of months.
Most people dislike driving on mountain roads with fog and snow, but as we started the ascent to Rabbit Ears pass the visibility dropped to null, the road surface became slick with snow, and our hearts started to race.
We arrived at our accomodations—Timber Run Condos—to find about an inch of accumulation, very helpful staff, and a nice, homey three bedroom condo. As we moved our gear from the car to the condo, a very friendly fox checked us out and then ran off to look for goodies in the dumpster.
Today we’ll test Steamboat’s trademarked Champagne Powder (no, really, trademarked), hope for more, and stay on the lookout for Billy Kidd.
