I came back into town yesterday hoping for some leftover powder for me to ride today, found some good stuff and got some powder turns in that I missed out on. It was beautiful out, lower mountain was warm while upper mountain was keeping the cold air trapped above. I actually had to pull out my facemask to keep riding the upper mountain.
Today was a new snowboard to test out, so the ride time was spent taking the board through everything and a lot of groomers.
Found some good powder turns in the trees. The report on Sunday was 21 inches total which was leftover to today. I had some great leftovers to enjoy on the mountain.
I was bummed to see that some spots were totally tracked out by sideslipping beginners in the trees. It looked like a snowboard beginner class went through and completely sideslipped all the powder. I was bummed.
Riding down to the bottom of the mountain, enjoying the view for miles surrounding Steamboat.

We’ve got a few more winter wonderland pix over at BoardtheBoat and a couple of the 45 mph wind shots also, just so riders remember their warm stuff.
And Congratulations on your very own domain, Shayboarder.com!
