The storm started on President's Day with 25-30" overnight prior to the lifts spinning. Then another foot during the day on Monday. Then another foot on Tuesday. Phone calls were made, meetings were cancelled and rescheduled, and the trip was on. None of us had ever been to Steamboat before so we didn't know the mountain or the stashes well, but I'd say we did a pretty good job. Here is the day in pictures- Boston John, Poop*Ghost, Powtron, and non-mag Mark are the gentlemen photosl*ts.
Does it go?
Yeah, it goes.
And the weapons of choice yesterday? Nothing but the best... ON3P. Three generations of Billy Goats and the Cease and Desists.

Aren't those ON3Ps from that start up ski company guy from NS/TGR?
Yep. They've been around a few years now. The Billy Goats are my favorite ski by far, and IMO they're better made skis than the big manufacturers.
Davidski- the front range resorts are doing much better now. LL and A-Basin have been getting consistent snow for a couple of weeks now, and the storms are lining up. Nothing huge, but 6-8" every couple of days does wonders for the skiing.

really cool to see those make it this far. I had no idea the brand had gotten so big. Referenced thread here: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/show ... -ON3P-Skis
