Are you the one from Storm lake that goes up to SLO every year?
M
No, from central Iowa.

Try Dutch Creek Ranch!!! SLO is nice and they have sleds to rent and Sue is a very nice lady.
Tried to PM you, but it doesn't work! I am in the Boat and as of now, we don't even have a foot of snow. Watch my thread that I have for Rabbit Ears Pass every day and I'll post the changes. The ski area isn't even open yet. If you have checked their website it says that we have gotten 32" of snow so far, that is an outright lie! I am not trying to discourage you, just don't want you to travel that far and set yourselves up for a MAJOR dissappoinment! If you are planning on driving that far, I would try Togwotee, they have a lot of snow! We are heading that way after Xmas.

Not sure what is up with the PM not working. Still trying to figure out the new format.
Thanks for the input. I actually have friends in Dubois that wanted to ride Steamboat. We are prepared to deviate and go North if we have to. Still optomistic that you will get some snow.
We would like to find a house to rent that will accomidate 10 of us and easy trailer parking, our usual spot fell through.

You might try "Vacation Rental By Owner" site - they have quite a bit in other areas...

My good friend built a muli-million dollar duplex near City Market near the ski area base. Place is about 1-year old, he rents out one side around 3,000 sqft. He is also a sledder and Dirt bike rider and we ride together a lot. I can get you info if your interested. Place is about 20 mins to RE, 15Min to Buff, 30Min to FT, or 30-40Mins to Hahns, <5mins to downtown steamboat or Ski Area Base.
Glen Eden resort in Clark, they rent peoples time shares out, nice little houses, they have a nice Restaurant on site. stayed there 2 years ago, Dave

VRBO is a good way to get a relative bargain. I've used them a few times with good results. Kind of short notice for Xmas rentals though. Snow wise you should be OK there. Indian summer is over and things change quick with a few storms, like this one hammering us now. Here's some rentals for the Boat. Sounds like a good time, let me know if ya need a guide to the good stuff.

Thanks, all for the input. ZUMA, I sent you a message, would like to get that info from you on the cabin, that is what I am looking for.
There are plenty of options/places to look at up there.... It's just going to take some time, discipline, and a few beers to sift through it all. Also, like bushmaster said, I wouldn't worry to much about the snow conditions. One or two storms, and you will be set..... I've seen it dump ~4' in two days.....

SLO rocks!!! Sue is awesome. I said once and I'll say it again. I used to own a house in Parkside across the street from SLO. There is some SICK climbing if you know where to go!!! The trails that take you there on the Sand mtn side are not groomed but they are ridden down so you can tell where to go. usually good snow back in california park and sugar loaf. But hahns peak has some insane climbs too. Best climb is that second front face of sand mtn. Best way to summit sand too, on the spine!!! Trail goes right up to the base of the face!!! INSANE IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO!!!

Try this one. http://www.cabinsatcolumbine.com/
Right at Columbine trail head.
Glen Eden is good too. We stay at the Glen 2-3 times a year.
