I spent the last week in Steamboat Springs, CO and it was the best skiing week of my life. Part of that came from the fact that Steamboat Ski Resort has some of the best natural terrain imaginable. The other part of that was because when we arrived on Tuesday, so did the snow, and it pretty much stayed the whole time.

There is often great skiing in Colorado in December and January, but late February and early March are pretty reliable for great snow. The best time to plan a long trip to the Colorado Mountains is later in the season.

We skied Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day was the best skiing I had ever enjoyed. I couldn't believe it when each new day outdid the previous. I felt so lucky and grateful to be able to experience it. It was truly the best ski trip of my life.

I hope you enjoy the photo gallery!
