Replying to How to Ski Steamboat?????

Dead Newschoolers,
So I'm heading to Steamboat this weekend to ride for a couple days.  I have been skiing in Colorado my entire life, but this will be my first time experiencing Steamboat.  I will be with a buddy, and we are both very good skiers.  I have a few questions if any would be kind enough to help me out.

1) Where are the best spots on the mountain to scare ourselves?  Little hikes are not a problem.

2)  Any secret stashes that you know of?  They would much appreciated.

3) Is there anybody that would want to shred on Friday and give two fellow skiers a tour?  Any hospitality would be rewarded with free booze and ganja.
