| 11/19/07 - STEAMBOAT RESCHEDULES SCHOLARSHIP & OPENING DAY TO NOVEMBER 30th |
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO-November 15, 2007-Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation announced today that it has rescheduled its 2007/2008 Scholarship/Opening Day to Friday, November 30, 2007 due to the recent period of warm weather.
“Steamboat is headed into a La Nina winter, which as studies show, could mean heaps of Champagne Powder® snow throughout the season, but the warm weather patterns we’ve experienced lately have made snowmaking a challenge,” said Andy Wirth, executive vice president of sales & marketing and chief marketing officer for Intrawest. “Snowmaking crews, which were busy making snow last night, are ready to take full advantage of colder temperatures and conditions; and, as we’ve seen in the past, everything can change in a matter of days.”
Scholarship Day, the traditional opening day benefit for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, now will be held on Friday, November 30. As in past years, all proceeds from Scholarship Day’s specially priced lift ticket will benefit the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club’s Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support for deserving children participating in Club programs. The Scholarship Day program has raised more than $525,000 since its inception in 1991. |
