Wow, Steamboat received over 18 inches of snow this past weekend! It has truly been a November to remember for early season snow with (almost) record breaking snowfall! Late last week brought 10 inches of snow to Steamboat Resort. The sun peaked for a few hours on Friday, and then another system came in hammering the Colorado mountains with 10+ inches of snow by Sunday morning.
This is great news for the ski resorts of Colorado! You may be wondering what separates Steamboat aside from the other mountains when everyone is receiving ample snowfall. Well, Steamboat's snow is special in that the situation of the jet system, the air flow, climate, and the way the mountain sits within the valley, allowing for the snow to stay crystallized in the soft, airless champagne form. Hence the reason Steamboat Resort coined the term “Champagne Powder.”
