Bacon and Topshelf joined us in Steamboat to sample some of the fresh 8" that fell on the 24" on top of the 25" from the last three days...needless to say it was epic! Strolled 4 blocks over to Main St to catch the free shuttle, hopped the gondola up then a quad to the summit where the mountain looked like it'd been dipped in frosting, rime snow everywhere, couldn't even read the trail signs. Proceeded to rip up knee deep to waist deep powder for the next couple hours until Highroller at least had to admit that the last knee had been dropped. It would be nice to know how to alpine ski in these conditions, powder was over the shoulder when making turns sometimes. Snow just kept falling and the minimal visibility turned to zero and all retreated back to the Love Shack for wine and crab cakes...good times, good times. Guest room is now in full operation with a bed and everything so come on up!
Thanks Alfords for a great weekend! More "evidence" of the conditions posted on telephant!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Dave, let's see some of the video! We're going to hit Howelson tomorrow for our first ski together in about a year...not expecting quite the outing of last week but who knows?
