Great Quote from one on Steamboat's pioneers that still holds true today
Sunday, November 13th, 2011 at 12:44am. 199 Views, 0 Comments.
From Judge Gooding who moved here in 1905. "Fame & fortune are out of my line, there are still too many hills to climb and too many trout to catch. He measured success a little differently and we stiull do in Steamboat today. I just finished putting the climbing skins on my skiis for a hike up Buffalo Pass and saw this when I sat down to read the Sunday paper. That is a pretty great connection to make across the years. I will think about what life must have been for judge on my way up and I hope that you can make time to live a little more like Judge too. Let it Snow ^3
Land Conservation is one of the many things that makes Steamboat special

Our open valleys are one of the things that grab newcomers hearts and grow even more special over time.
Routt County's big open valley's are a result of a combination of our hesitance to lose these assets, zoning to keep it that way a deeply ingrained resitance to annexing more land into the city and significant local efforts to preserve large ranches in Perpetuity. We have been able to conserve some very special areas, maintain our agricultural heritage and keep large slices of land open. Steamboat magazine has an excellent article this month our Routt County's Land Conservation Crusade. If you want to know more about this or Steamboat Ranches, just give me a call at 970-879-0879.
Late Season Powder Skiing in Steamboat (HD Video!)
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 at 4:38pm. 501 Views, 0 Comments.
The late season snow got us excited and yesterday morning we took a few runs in the 10" of new snow before heading into work. Realizing (but hoping against the idea) that this could be one of the last big powder days we implemented our Powder Clause and enjoyed the morning on the mountain. The powder felt like January snow, as light and fluffy as Champagne powder can be, and blew past and behind us with each turn. While enjoying the new snow, we unfortunately missed getting footage from up on 'No Names', which we decided was one of the best runs of the year...Next time! Hope you enjoy the video below and hope to see you out on the mountain this weekend!
