Steamboat Springs, CO (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- Steamboat's 2006/2007 season cumulative snowfall surpassed the 250-inch mark at mid-mountain due to a series of storms that has dropped three feet of fresh Champagne Powder snow over the past three days. ResortQuest Steamboat Vacation Rentals is offering variety of discounted Steamboat Springs accommodations for the remainder of the ski season, including Kids Ski and Rent Free packages.
"Steamboat has some of the best snow in the Rocky Mountains, the largest mid-mountain base of the major Colorado destination resorts, and a summit base that's approaching 85 inches," said Andy Wirth, vice president of sales & marketing for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation. "Steamboat is definitely showing why it is the home of Champagne Powder and will be in great shape as the resort gears up for the upcoming Spring Break period."
The Steamboat Ski Resort is currently in a storm cycle that has yielded 9" at mid-mountain and 9" at the summit overnight; 18" at mid-mountain and 23" at the summit in past 48-hours and 27" at mid-mountain and 36" at the summit in the past 72-hours. The resort is reporting a 72-inch base at mid-mountain and 83-inch base at the summit on powder conditions.
For the month of February, 79.5 inches (6.6 feet) has fallen at mid-mountain and 100 inches (8.3 feet) at the summit, currently making this the 6th snowiest February in the past 28 years. The resort has seen snow 15 out of 26 days (57.7%) this month, with 9 of those days recording more than four inches.
"This past weekend is being called one of the best powder weekends this season by our local powderhounds, and it still has not stopped snowing," continued Wirth. "February is shaping up to be remembered as a legendary Steamboat Springs snow month, full of incredible, waist deep powder days. With February going out like a lion, Mother Nature's attention is definitely squarely focused on Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A.® and skiers/riders couldn't be happier!"
