Recap for Steamboat Co- Ski Town USA On February 25 th 42 members took off in search of the champagne powder that Steamboat is world famous. We weren t disappointed with 28 inches of fresh powder that week. All you had to do is peek in the Aspen trees or evergreen trees and you might see a pink bandana floating by. Some of the members took advantage of the Sleigh ride dinner, Strawberry Park Hot Springs and the Powder Cats. Nobody went home hungry with over 100 restaurants-anything from steaks, ribs to seafood. The grand finale was the Western Bar-B-Que atop the Gondola with plenty to eat and dancing to a country western rock band. Thank you to all who joined me on the Steamboat trip. I hope you enjoyed the trip and had as much fun and laughter as I did. Anne
