I'm headed out west the day after Christmas (from Northern Michigan, lower penninsula area). We're going to be staying with a friend who lives in Laramie. I was thinking we might head down to steamboat for a day or two (approx. 2 hours away as I understand it) and other various smaller hills, by your standards, in the area. I was just hoping I could get some recommendations. I'm lookin for Pow, Carving, secret spots, cheap spots, whatever.
Powder, I'll take any I can get. Carving I like long blue squares that I can rail. My butthole puckers up too much on the steeps and my carving just falls apart. Also, I was trying to teach my girlfriend how to snowboard, but since we're going out west I might enlist the help of instructors, whether she wants to try skiing or snowboarding or what. ANd my brother and his wife will be there, he's a strong skier (carving, don't know how well he'd do in pow) and she's a rather new skier.
Thanks, Ben
