Steamboat was ridunkulous today. I was a lazy f*@ker and didnt get up there until lunchtime so I thoroughly expected everything to be tracked out and generally gaper-fied.

But the goods were still in abundance and it was one of those days when I would of drowned with the BRO.

It's been dumping all day though and the hill was seriously quiet, even with stormpeak chair being closed.

The visuals:

We need to be able to post more pics on the board!

Yeah, Im the town mayor of FaceShotVille.

It's almost TOO sick, if I go fast I cant see shit, if I go slow I can see but the snow literally piles up infront of me and stops me dead:

Plus it's completely gay going slow. ever.

So back to the white room.

Its seriously sick up there right now, totally f*@king awesome.

I was planning to head down to Cressted Butte, but I may just have to hang around the boat a little longer.

Yep, sure has been dumping in Steamboat. Amazing powder up there right now.

So much snow it's pretty difficult to see where the hell you're going in a sitski.

Check out this little video from steamboat 2 days ago.
