Now that winter has arrived with a vengeance, Steamboat Powdercats, Colorado’s premier snowcat guiding service, has extended its season till the end of April and reduced rates to help entice guests to come for a much needed powder day.

Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) resorts are kicking off spring ski season with cost saving specials and a multitude of options for entertainment. To entice skiers and snowboarders to take advantage of the spring snow conditions, calendars are filled with activities including free live music concerts, invitations to a pop-up bar, scavenger hunts, beach parties, and a St. Patrick’s Retro Day.

Mother Nature has rewarded Colorado with several large storms recently, with more yet to come. Snow conditions are excelling across much of Ski Country, and Colorado’s snowiest month is still ahead. March typically brings robust snow storms, creating powdery playgrounds for spring break revelers. Bountiful storms in March are part of the reason Colorado’s ski season stretches well into May, June, and sometimes July.

Below is a calendar of highlighted events offered throughout Colorado Ski Country this spring, and further below are highlighted resort spring deals. (continue reading…)

Last weekend, we traveled to Summit County, Colorado to ski one of our favorite resorts: Copper Mountain. We hadn’t driven 25 miles from our garage when our bad luck started.

Black Mark #1: The “check engine” light comes on in our three-year-old car, disabling the stability control as we head into a snowstorm. We call the dealership only to find out that the car has to come in for service immediately. The good news: we’re already driving east, toward the dealership. The bad news: “immediately” means one of the adults won’t get to ski. It’s a pow day. (continue reading…)

We’ve barely made it to the first headwall of the Outhouse on Mary Jane before we’re stopped by an adoring fan.

“Hey, are you, like, Bob?”

Yes, he is.
