As of Oct 5th, this contest is closed. Why, well it snowed a 1/2 inch. Check out our image blog to see details about this. Thanks for playing and we'll start this back up next year come late August.

Every year, the anticipation of when the first snow will fall on our mountains always makes us stir crazy. So to help ease the pain, we are hosting another POWDER PREDICTION CONTEST.

Win a free day - 08/09 season only

Here are the rules:

• You must email your prediction into Kent at the office, click here to email Kent
• Predictions must have a date and a snow total associated with the date.
• Only 1 prediction per person is allowed.
• The date and snow total will be from the morning of the report taken. We will use the Steamboat Ski Area's 5 a.m. snow report as the official date and snow total. Please understand, if the snow starts falling in the evening of August 29th for example, the date of the first official snowfall will be August 30th.
• Prediction emails must be received in our email in box at least 4 days or 96 hrs prior to the official 5 a.m. snow report of that first storm.
• If the ski area does not put out a 5 a.m. phone message for this report, we will contact the ski area directly and find out.
• We will use the mid-mountain snow total. If there is no snow at the mid-mountain, then we will use the snow total from the top of the mountain.
• Your snow total must be done in inches. You can use 1/4 inch increments.
• If multiple people guess the correct date and snow total, we will have a follow up contest to determine the winner.
• If no one predicts the exact total, we will use the total that was closest.
