On our first day in Steamboat, there were clouds, but no new snow. We had a great day and found lots of leftover powder from the 27 inches that fell around Christmas time.
Our second day, we went to the Strawberry Hot Springs at night. It was about 3 degrees by the time we were back home. The hot springs were perfect. I had previously only been to the hot springs during the day. The night time experience was even more magical. There was no artificial lighting, just the moonlight beaming down in the pools.
When we got back from the hot springs, I went for a walk around the ski village. Although it was only a few degrees outside, I loved seeing what the village was like with no one there. The lights and fires were beautiful.
The morning that we left Steamboat, it was warmer. All the snow on the patio furniture outside had melted. There was about a foot of snow in that spot when we arrived. As we made our way up Rabbit Ears Pass, I got out to take photos of the trees that were frosted over from the -15 degree temperatures there and in Kremmling the night before.
