Yearly Archives: 2020

After yesterday's 26" in 24-hr snowfall and a 38" in the past 36-hours pounding, we have been reflecting on the significance of this powder filled season and the historic reality that we are living in.  As powder junkies we live for the moment and relish in the now.  When we get fresh snow, even a few inches, life is good.  But when we get snow like we have this season, we are all smiles and perfectly happy to know that we are living our dream. To put what is happening into a historical perspective, sit and spin on some of these statistics:

My, oh, my, what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine headin' our way. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! Mister Bluebird's on our shoulder. It's the truth, it's amazing Everybody was fantastic Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

Holy cow. Snowmageddon is here and is in full force. It has snowed and snowed and would you believe it...it's still snowing! During this storm cycle we've received 29'' with 22'' of that being delivered just within the last 24 hours!! Insane amounts.

Powder days make our world spin round and round.  Without it, out lives would be hard packed, bumped out and much less glorious.  After yesterday and todays storm, the powders were fresh and deep and all up in our way.  A 10" layer of snow laid wait for us and our people were once again blown away by the powder party we get to have.

With MLK Day being the most popular day of the year to ski and to avoid having any FOMO (fear of missing out), we did the same! Sunny skies, warm temps made for some mid-winter spring skiing. Feels pretty good to drop a couple layers, open up some vents, and feel the sun your face every once in a while but I'm sure ready to get back to business tomorrow when the flakes hopefully start flying again.

When life is good, it is real good.  When things are turned on they are ON! The snow gods have certainly been good to us this past week with 5-feet of snow dumping in and around Buffalo Pass.  Plus, since December 24th we have only seen the sun on 6 days.  Say what?   Now, with this said, we did get some wind yesterday which beat down some of our aspects, but rest assured life and powder skiing goes on as we have plenty of terrain to search it out and find the goods.  

Face Shot Friday? Yes sir. We had the pleasure of playing in 17'' of fresh, Steamboat Springs trademarked Champagne Powder, which accumulated over the last two days. Considering our terrain, 17'' is pretty much the perfect amount that allows for speed, weightlessness,  giggles, and of course, ample face shots.
