Steamboat has record breaking snow season

Steamboat, Colorado, has had a record breaking 2007/2008 winter season with more than 450 inches of champagne powder snow falling. The previous record was set in the 1996/1997 winter season with 447 inches of snow falling.

Chris Diamond, president & chief operating officer for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation said, "despite early forecasts calling for a warmer and drier winter, big snows, often the norm in Steamboat, were a common occurrence and provided a season full of epic powder days,....powderhounds will have plenty of powder tales to tell for years or at the very least until the cycle begins again with the opening of the 2008/2009 season on November 26th....With each additional flake over the next few weeks, a new snowfall record will be set, with just over two weeks left in the record-breaking snow season, spring skiing/riding in Steamboat should definitely not be missed.”

Steamboat's season is due to end on Sunday 6th April.
