Snow heading for Steamboat
Hot on the heels of 11 inches of perfect champagne powder on Monday comes a series of powerful systems that have battered the Pacific Northwest and have the Steamboat ski mountain in their sights.
You could think of this change in the weather as the perfect storm - airfares from 41 cities are on sale until January 23rd, we have more terrain open than anywhere else in Colorado and it’s Steamboat - your favorite mountain town in the Colorado Rockies!!
