Today we are celebrating the awesomeness of this day. What an epic adventure. 3 crews consisting of 12 5-Star Steamboat Ski Corp employees, 6 badasses who are long time returning super guests and a posse who fly up here today and flew home after. Oh, yea.
Tired of sitting at home reading these "every day is epic" blogs? Tired of your routine? Need a vacation? Maybe some cold light powder in your face? Well, what's stopping you?
If our local snow gurus are correct in their predictions, as they normally are, today and tomorrow mornings sun rays are only temporary.

It's been a great resource for our guests to re-enjoy their day, share some of the magic with their friends who missed out and to prep those who are coming tomorrow or days down the road. One theme that has carried over and over in our daily ramblings has been how important our people are in creating the experiences that is Steamboat Powdercats together.
After 6 days, the fellas emerged from the maintenance tent covered in hydraulic fluid and oil. Under all of that grime were big white smiles of relief.
The saying "Old Dudes Rule" was a theme for our Thunder Cat today as the majority of gentlemen on the snowcat were veteran ski instructors from Seattle, WA. The years of ski instructing they had under their belts was quite apparent once the fellas took off down the powder fields...they RIPPED and their form was textbook.
