A priceless day here at Steamboat Powdercats. Today, December 21st 2007 marks the one year anniversary of our photographer Dave Genchi getting injured while working on the pass (learn more here). To surprise our staff, Dave returned to Steamboat today and for the first time since leaving us a year ago. We got to spend quality time, all together, as a crew once again. MOVIE CLIP

With 11" of new snow overnight, we celebrated in fine style as the deepest day of our season just happened to coincide with Genchi's return. In between face shots and some relentless, hammering snows, we spent time honoring the occasion with lots of laughter, good vibes and great friends.MOVIE

Dave got to take some shots of the guides, once again capturing the story of our days at Steamboat Powdercats.

In the end, the clouds parted from above and blue skies opened up the most incredible views of Soda Mountain and the Yampa Valley, all backlit from a full moon high above us.
