Steamboat Ski Area Project Update
The Steamboat Ski area is on target for the completion of over $16 million in mountain improvements by the November 21st opening. Base area work is moving at a fevered pitch as Ski Corp is more than halfway completed with a total re-grade of the Headwall area that feeds into the base area. Along with the re-grading project, the old Southface and Headwall chair lifts are being dismantled and the Preview lift is being realigned and increased in capacity from a double to a triple chair. In addition the five beginner area magic carpets will be upgraded, realigned and lengthened.
Construction on the new Christie Peak Express high speed chair is also progressing well. Foundations have been poured and tower installation will start this month, with helicopters being used as needed. The new lift will have an unload only station just above the top of Southface, before continuing on to the top of the Christie Peak. The new lift will cut ride time from 15 to 4.8 minutes. Additional improvements are being completed at the Thunderhead Cafeteria and Meadow Parking Facility, along with general improvements to the snowmaking system.
These exciting improvements will enhance your skiing experience at Steamboat. If you have questions about any of these projects at the ski area, please contact your Colorado Group Realty broker.
