Snow Record for Snowpack Depth in Steamboat Springs

Steamboat is going down in the history books this winter for recording the deepest snowfall in recorded Colorado history. The snow on Buff Pass, just outside of downtown Steamboat Springs is currently sitting at over 200 inches deep, with 72.6 inches of water content. “This exceeds the previous record reading of 71.1 inches of water equivalent measured in 1978.”

While the weather is beginning to warm in Steamboat, there is still plenty of snow on the mountain and in the backcountry that can be skied and snow-shoed. If you have some extra time in the morning or late afternoon, stop over on Buff Pass or up on Rabbit Ears to get in a few extra days to add to your season!

'Spring-ter' Skiing in Steamboat Springs

The skiing almost seems to continue to get better as the season continues on. Powder skiing at the end of April seemed too good to pass up, and we took the morning off of work to enjoy some of the snow that had blown in over night. We decided that the word 'spring-ter' the combination of spring and winter, never knowing what day will bring what conditions, has been an apt way to describe the spring in Steamboat this year. Fortunately for us, and other Steamboat-er's looking to extend their ski seasons, more of the days are still feeling like winter. We put one last ski video together from the great season, enjoy it below!
