Bluebird skies and non-existant winds couldn't mask the fact that Steamboat needs new snow. Groomed runs were firm and fast, with north-facing aspects providing a chalky, edgeable surface. Cover was good, with the only rocks found on the day in The Ridge area. Christmas Tree Bowl and its neighboring chutes were all closed. <BR> <BR>While the bumps and the trees looked inviting, especially those warmed by the direct sun, looks were indeed deceiving, as they were more firm than pleasant. <BR> <BR>Bring on some new snow!! <BR> <BR>Watch for a full feature on Steamboat to appear within the next few weeks at <FONT FACE="comic sans ms">First Tracks!! Online</FONT>.
 
(12/30/00 - 1/7/00) Steamboat is bony at best, icy most places, lots of holes popping through the earlier good cover. <BR> <BR>Avoid for now until lots of new snow.
