Johnny Spillane, Class of 1999 -- Olympic Triple Silver Medalist in a 2010 Olympic Moment.  "Lowell Whiteman School made it possible for me to do what I've done.  If you get an opportunity to go to a school like this, take it!  I recognized what I had here and it really made it possible for me to get where I am."

STEAMBOAT SKI & RESORT

There are several things you can count on when you vacation in Steamboat. Rich western heritage, small town hospitality, and snow, lots of it. With an average of nearly 30 feet of snowfall every season, you can expect to relish in many satisfying powder days. But it’s not just any snow here in Steamboat, we have the driest and fluffiest snow in the world. It’s so different, we coined the phrase Champagne Powder®. In fact, meteorologists have measured Steamboat’s Champagne Powder® as having 70% less moisture content than average snow. If you have a hard time believing it, visit us in Steamboat and get a taste for yourself.
