With all the travel, a catch-up day was well overdue, and Monday 11/2 was that day. First thing was getting the high-speed internet turned on at the condo so I could start uploading photos. While I uploaded photos I cleaned up a bit, and started unpacking. The other big event of the day was heading up to the mountain to check out the construction progress and then pick up my Intrawest season pass.
The mountain is still firmly in “fall” mode, construction is in full swing and the whole area is brown. One Steamboat Place looks awesome though, and they’re pushing hard to have it in usable shape when the mountain opens. Thanks to stretch of cold nights snowmaking has piled up snow along Stampede; one big white ribbon of white going from the base up towards the top of Christy Peak.

“30 Days on the Road” is a blog series tracking my travel for thirty days in October and November; from leaving Alaska on October 27th until Steamboat opens on November 25th. Due to a series of cool opportunities I don’t have to be back at a “real job” until 11/26th, and after a summer that seemed way too long, I’ll be making the most of my free month with as much snow and snow industry fun as I can cram in. The goal is two-fold, first to get you pumped about the upcoming season, and two to help keep track of time as I wander aimlessly for a month.
I’ll also be posting updates on Facebook and Twitter, so make sure and check out the action there too.
