Welcome to Steamboat Valhalla !!! You wake to the smell of fresh coffee and breakfast on the skillet…it only takes a moment to remember where you are. Having just flown in the night before, you think how nice it is to have jet service so close to Heaven – like the Flight of the Valkries. You feel the warm wooden floors beneath your feet as you instinctively follow the luring aroma of Espresso and Irish Cream. The unobstructed, picture window view of Mt. Werner tells you it’s been snowing; the white shapeless trees whisper feet, not inches, of powder. Sipping your toddy, the warmth of the fire in the Great Room conjures up that perfect ski vacation with your closest friends and family. You pull your terry-cloth robe a little tighter around you as you sit back on the leather couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and ponder the powder caches you know you’ll surely find in Steamboat’s famous glades. A quick check of your email on the high-speed digital Internet connection confirms that the wheels aren’t falling off back at the office – you relax and look forward to a great day on the mountain… Where will the powder be..? From here, Tomahawk looks fresh… Perhaps The Chutes? Christmas Tree Bowl? Sure, why not hit them all – you can’t miss on Powder Day. As you dreamily stare at the white covered mountain-top, the Steamboat Shuttle driver gives you a friendly wave as he comes to a stop a mere 30 yards from the front door for the first stop on the loop. Save the free shuttle ride for the way home, you think, it’s too close and too nice a day not to walk. Turning on the 42” Plasma TV to find out the latest storm totals, you hear the kids downstairs playing the latest game on PlayStation-2… seemingly oblivious to this perfect moment – it’s just as well. You smile knowing that everything’s been thought of… from the boot warmers to the pre-stocked* refrigerator… the difference is in the details. Congratulations… You just found your perfect vacation and it starts with Steamboat Valhalla. After years of skiing, snowboarding, fishing, golfing, hunting, hiking, and biking all over the United States, we have finally been able to take our collective knowledge and experience and create a little slice of Nordic Heaven right here on earth.
