RidgeRacer Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Great first day. We ended up with first gondi (excluding the first tracks crew) then made our way to the storm peak chair and got first chair there as well. It wasn't the powder day that we were hoping for but there was powder, some untracked (especially in the Christmas tree bowl / chutes area) and we were skiing so it's all good. The weather has been hovering around freezing so the 6 inches that did fall yesterday wasn't the lightest snow. As mentioned, the best / deepest snow by far was in the Christmas tree bowl area. Morningside (in the morning) was also good. It got a little crusty later on. Phillycore called it a day around 3:15. Dan and I took one more run on one of the front facing trails that they use for night skiing (can't remember the name of it). By that time it was full on spring skiing near the base. We got our free hot chocolate and called it a day. First impressions of Steamboat... It's playful as hell. Kinda like a Gore mountain on steroids in that your skiing different sections serviced by different lifts. We rode the gondi once and that was it since the best stuff is up top. Looking forward to tomorrow. 5 Quote
phillycore Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Dan killed it today..... I had my struggles where the snow was heavy and piled up. My legs definitely aren't where they should be and I got all instructor mode in the beginning and pretty much forgot how I have to ski out here. Today I was on the seth's but trying out the prophets tomorrow. Hoping that I'll get bounced around a lot less. For lunch I had a burger and curly fries along with a orange juice. Wow are they short enough?? Your nails I mean? Anyway the first "real" day of skiing in a new pair of boots can suck. My second day in JH with a tram to rendevous bowl to cheyanne bowl start was pretty brutal in my boots in variable snow. I actually have a mortons neuroma that developed on my left foot so it's more of a nerve thing.... Quote

They deflect pretty bad. The prophets should definitely be more stable for ya. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 JF-Dan is up early...I get up silly early out west wonder if he's watching Phillycore sleep lol Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 This thread is like Dominoes pizza...it delivers. Quote
phillycore Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Justo. We were all hoping for much lighter snow yesterday. I learned my lesson on the seth's when we all went out to Utah at snowbasin. They made my life suck. Doug... Dan has his own room and fwiw I really don't sleep too well out here....like three hours than gotta pee like a 80 year old.... Breakfast opens up at 7 It's nothing spectacular.....straight carbo load. Muffin, waffles. Cereal coffee and juice. What do you expect for $77 a night. The lemon water is cool though. We are doing this trip on the mad cheap.....like seriously though we got a steal here. 3 day pass to steamboat $159. 5 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Nice. Glad someone is getting some snow! Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Here's the mountain from our hotel and another powder shot. We also got photo bombed by a Steamboat employee which is incredibly awesome. 4 Quote
phillycore Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Nice. Glad someone is getting some snow!We definitely earned some of that by hiking out for what seemed like a mile.Lol Quote
toast21602 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 SO JEALOUS. and pretty stoked to get out to Utah in a month. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 The Seth's aren't rockered are they?? That's a good deal on passes...how many days are you skiing Winter Park?? Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 One day at WP on Sunday. The pass / lodging deal here in Steamboat was insanely good. 2 Quote

You need to splurge one day and get a bacon and omelette by the base of the gondola... What did you guys have for dinner last night? I had a Cobb salad from Salad works.

phillycore Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 I definitely should have taken a picture of that... I had a bbq dinner with pulled pork, chopped brisket, fresh jalapeño sausage, with Cole slaw and mashed taters... Steamboat Smokehouse ftw 1 Quote

I thought you were eating healthy? 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Cobb salad? I thought you were eating healthy? It's got 300 calories...and I used about 200 calories worth of ginger dressing and declined on the bread...that's at least half the calories of a normal GSS dinner. A tiny bit of avacado bacon bits chicken...skipped bleu cheese isn't bad. Normally I'd get like outback or carrabas takeout. http://nutrition.saladworks.com/nutrition/salads Toast you're terrible you never have anything nice to say. 1 Quote
