First day at Steamboat



We're without James and Ken is making me do this. It's been a tough day. My skis are dead. I tried to ski without the right edge of my right ski. It adds a certain challenge to some of the steep slopes. So my plan is to demo 2 different pair tomorrow and choose one. Renting for the next 10 ski days just doesn't make sense.

We had been hearing negative things about the conditions here because they haven't had any new snow for several days. If you check out the photos, you'll see we found some pretty good snow but we had to do a bit of hiking to get to the good stuff. Most of the slope was a bit slick. However it's snowing now and we have high hopes.

We're a bit disappointed that we haven't seen any more posts from James. We had assumed that he and Jeff would update us all on how their day at Vail went and today they were at Winter Park / Mary Jane. We really want to hear about that day since we are considering a day there on our way back to Denver. We're seriously considering abandoning Montana because of the added driving. We'll see.

One more day here with demos before heading to Utah!
