Want slopeside convenience but don’t own ski-in, ski-out property?   Do you avoid going up for a few hours of skiing because it takes too much time to catch the Meadows shuttle?

The mountain officially posted 450″ of snow on Mt. Werner–almost 38 feet of snow for the year! The skiing has been incredible with powder days [...]

Today, my friend Sharon Spiegel from Steamboat Ski Patrol sent a link to a video Good Morning America did on avalanches. It was actually filmed several weeks ago and bumped from the Good Morning America line up at least once, but here is the clip showing the Steamboat Springs avalanche crew in action: Good Morning [...]

My brother Chick and his friend Dave spent today on Buffalo Pass skiing the bottomless powder with the Steamboat Powdercats. They are high school friends who lived as ski bums at Jackson Hole during college, and this trip was the first one they’ve skied together for a couple decades. They’ve come back to our house [...]

Other resorts owned by Intrawest are Whistler-Blackcomb, and Winter Park and [...]
