Mountain Improvements

One of the most notable changes you’ll see at the Steamboat Ski Resort this winter won’t be the addition of chairlifts or increase snowmaking.  This year’s major capital improvements are more focused at the base area and include 100,000 new pavers in Gondola Square with a built-in snowmelt system and a permanent outdoor stage.  The stage will provide a better experience for both musicians and fans when it comes to outdoor concerts and events.

The added amenities demonstrate the ski area’s focus on projects that positively impact both the guest experience and increased efficiency.  Efficiency upgrades include an improved snowmaking system that allows the resort’s 100 high-efficiency snow guns to produce the same amount of snow as in the past but with 30 percent less energy used.
