Happy Boxing Day
Today is the day after Christmas, known by some as boxing day. Why is that important? Well, actually, it’s not important at all - but the attached photo shows some boxing day riders in their boxers (posing with Velzy).
Today also happens to be our third day of boarding in Steamboat. We haven’t seen any new snow fall since the first day here, but there’s still lots of fresh powder to be found. We worked our way to the back of the mountain this morning - just to check it out. We found big open areas with tons of powder left untouched. We ended up spending the entire day. Keep in mind, riding good powder like this is new for both Velzy and I. The soft falls really builds our confidence; but swimming out of the powder after you fall can really wear you out!
Steamboat is a great mountain. The only complaint we’ve had so far is some funky signs. They seem kinda poorly placed at times - or missing altogether. It’s really a minor complaint - who wants to spend all day reading signs anyway?
