News / What is GTC? January 18, 2024

What is GTC?

Earlier this year we shared a proposal to transform the transportation experience at Steamboat Ski Resort, announcing our plans for the “Gondola Transit Center (GTC). The first phases of this concept were to identify and secure appropriate funding mechanisms- that background story lives here– and we are proud to have a private-public partnership with the City of Steamboat Springs and the Urban Renewal Authority Advisory Committee (URAAC) to maximize URA funds for the upper terminal component of the concept. We expect to have a Metro District in place in 2024 to collect tax dollars ONLY from Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation outlets and properties, with the exception of third-party developers who purchase and build on SSRC properties, moving forward. There are still caveats and steps to accomplish our vision for innovative transportation and every step along the way needs to fall into place for the next one to work; but we are headed in the right direction. 

 

We’re excited to formally introduce the Gondola Transit Center 2.0 concept. Our vision for a new GTC transforms the current single-passenger, bus and shuttle drop off on Mt. Werner Circle to be a comprehensive Transportation Center with the hub originating in Meadows Parking Lot and connecting to the base area via high-speed 8-10 person Gondola. The redesigned Gondola Transit Center will be safer, more pedestrian friendly and meet current and future transportation and capacity needs.  

 

This is a perfect example of a collaborative partnership between the City of Steamboat, the resort and URAAC- all working together to protect Steamboat’s heritage while moving forward to address community needs and enhancing the transportation experience. Steamboat Ski Resort has long been dedicated to creating innovative solutions for transportation, a critical need in the Yampa Valley. A long time in the planning, a Gondola from Meadows lot to Steamboat Square will reduce congestion on Mt. Werner Road and Mt. Werner Circle; create a more pedestrian friendly Mt. Werner Circle for better guest engagement at the Steamboat Grand street-level businesses and future development; provide a sustainable alternative for traffic; and support future transportation needs. A dedicated transportation hub originating in the Meadows Parking Lot at full build out will include specific drop off zones for kids, groups and guests, a better ADA experience, additional parking infrastructure; a more convenient traffic flow and regional transportation connectivity.  

 

Using a free gondola as transportation has proven successful in other mountain communities such as Telluride and Breckenridge, where traffic congestion has greatly been reduced. Breckenridge specifically has a similar model with Gondola access as a primary transportation resource from town to the resort base area, eliminating potential pedestrian and car interactions.  

 

City staff and representatives from the ski area and Alterra have been meeting regularly over the last year to create a plan for the design, construction and on-going operations of the GTC and Meadows gondola. Additionally, the group has met with key stakeholders, impacted businesses and citizens and community members at large to collect input and feedback on the most effective designs and concepts.   

 

If all goes accordingly on the GTC transformation, the earliest the project could break ground would be summer 2025. As the private-public partnership moves forward with these concepts, we will update the community here; as well hosting additional community informational and input sessions.  

News / The Wild Blue Gondol... October 10, 2023

The Wild Blue Gondola: Transformational and Impactful at Steamboat Resort

One of Steamboat Resort’s most anticipated on-mountain improvements will be fully complete for the 2023/2024 ski season: the Wild Blue Gondola. With both sections fully installed, it will become North America’s longest and fastest 10-person gondola, transporting skiers and riders from the base area to the top of Sunshine Peak in an impressive 13 minutes.

Section one of the Wild Blue Gondola was operational for most of the 2022/2023 ski season, transporting skiers and riders from the base area to Greenhorn Ranch at six meters per second. Section two will be operational for the 2023/2024 ski season, transporting guests from Greenhorn Ranch to the top of Sunshine Peak at seven meters per second. These two sections can run independent of one another, or all together, making it highly functional and adaptable.

With a total of 171 cabins (58 on the lower section, 113 on the upper section), the Wild Blue Gondola will increase the out-of-base capacity from 6,000 people per hour to 10,000 people per hour. Helping significantly in redistributing skiers and riders across the mountain, Wild Blue will especially ease morning congestion at the base area and afternoon congestion at the Sundown/Elkhead saddle.

Featuring the single largest direct drive in the world, Wild Blue brings state-of-the-art technology to Steamboat Resort. By installing a direct drive, which is a mechanical concept that comes from the windmill industry, a traditional gearbox is unnecessary. Most issues arise in gondolas and chairlifts due to a failure within the gearbox, and when it happens during the winter, it can be especially hard, if not impossible, to repair. By eliminating the gearbox all together, the direct drive will provide skiers and riders with a smooth, fast and highly efficient ride, which is especially exciting when Champagne Powder® is falling.

Spanning a distance of 3.16 miles, the Wild Blue gondola will give skiers and riders quite the scenic ride across Steamboat Resort. With two spans over 1,100 feet and the highest point reaching 136 feet above ground as you cross the Rainbow Saddle, Wild Blue will not only ease skier and rider traffic but will also provide a stunning and fast ride to the top of Sunshine Peak.

“I think our guests are going to be blown away. When they experience it, I think everyone will truly understand how transformational this gondola is to this world-class ski area,” explains Dave Hunter, Vice President of Mountain Operations.

Transformational indeed, the Wild Blue gondola if one of the most impactful projects within the scope of Steamboat Resort’s Full Steam Ahead improvements. It will give skiers and riders quick and easy access to the highly cherished and coveted Sunshine Peak area trails and will make for a seamless progression for SnowSports school from Greenhorn Ranch to the top of Sunshine. Skiers and riders will also have an option to download at the end of the day if their legs are tired, or more easily move around the mountain for lunch at the various lodges.

In August, crews are still working hard towards the completion of Wild Blue. Concrete is being transported to the top terminal, and crews are installing the second leg of the independent haul rope, which weighs in at an impressive 160,000 pounds.

As we approach three months until the start of the 2023/2024 ski season, excitement is certainly building in Steamboat Springs over the completion of Wild Blue. Scenic, functional and hugely impactful, the Wild Blue gondola is sure to transform your experience at Steamboat Resort in all of the right ways.

Steamboat Proposes Partnership for Innovative Transportation Solutions

How can we provide a world class experience to local skiers and riders, without hitting adding a new tax to Steamboat Springs community members.  It’s a question that has been top of mind for leaders from our community and the resort for decades. As the resort wraps up the Full Steam Ahead project improving the base area and on mountain experience it’s time to address transportation in and around the resort.

The IDEA: Transform the current single passenger, bus and shuttle drop off on Mt. Werner Circle to be a comprehensive Transportation Center connecting the Meadows Parking Lot to the base area with a high-speed 8 to 10 person Gondola. The redesigned Gondola Transit Center will be safer, more pedestrian friendly and meet current and future transportation needs.

The MONEY: Do this without tapping into City funds or asking Steamboat Springs/Routt County citizens to foot the bill via new collected taxes, in partnership with the City.  The resort is working diligently to create a new funding mechanism that, combined with the current URA funds, will support this innovative concept.

    1. Metro District: A metro district is a property tax that only applies to specific property and locations in a specific area with funds collected used for a specific end result.  SSRC’s Metro District is a self-tax that will only be put on SSRC businesses and land parcels. This means that ONLY SSRC outlets will pay the tax and any future development on land owned by SSRC or sold by SSRC will be responsible for paying the tax in the future. Current non-SSRC businesses in the base area, outlining the mountain, in downtown Steamboat Springs, etc will NOT be a part of the Metro District. Which means current non-SSRC businesses in the base area, outlining the mountain, in downtown Steamboat Springs, etc will NOT pay additional taxes for the proposed Gondola Transit Center Project.

    1. URA Funds. Back in 2003 the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) was created to address blight around the mountain area with the goals of spurring public-private partnerships and building a revitalized place for community and guests. URA projects are funded through TIF (tax increment financing) and guided by URAAC (the Urban Renewal Authority Advisory Committee) to meet the goals of the URA. Funds collected through URA are directed by SSRA (Steamboat Springs Redevelopment Authority) which is made up of City Council Members. Let us explain- SSRA is made up of City Council Members, BUT when SSRA is in session the city council members are directing the use of only URA funds, not City funds or functions.

SHOW ME the Money: If approved by SSRA and City Council, Steamboat Ski Resort will pay $30 million dollars of the Gondola Transit Center Project, via the Metro District, with most of that funding covering the Meadows Parking Lot Improvements and the Gondola connecting Meadows and the base area.

The URAAC will use $20 million of URA funding, if approved by SSRA, to transform the transportation experience on Mt. Werner Circle. Steamboat Ski Resort will reimburse $13 million of the URA funds, via the Metro District collection, so URAAC can reinvest additional funds in future URA projects. And since Steamboat Ski Resort pays into the TIF that feeds URA funds, over the course of the project Steamboat will have contributed an additional $1 million. That means, while URRAC is spending $20 million up front to make the project happen, ultimately the URA will have only spent $6 Million to make the Gondola Transit Center a reality.

WHY this is cool for the community: This is a perfect example of a collaborative partnership between the City, the resort and URAAC- all working together to protect Steamboat’s heritage while moving forward to address community needs and enhancing the transportation experience. Steamboat Ski Resort has long been dedicated to creating innovative solutions for transportation, a critical need in the Yampa Valley. A long time in the planning, a Gondola from Meadows lot to Steamboat Square will reduce congestion on Mt. Werner Road and Mt. Werner Circle; create a more pedestrian friendly Mt. Werner Circle for better guest engagement at the Steamboat Grand street level businesses and future development; provide a sustainable alternative for traffic; and support future transportation needs. A dedicated transportation center in the Meadows Parking Lot at full build out will include specific drop off zones for kids, groups and guests, better ADA experience, additional parking infrastructure and a more convenient traffic flow.

Using a free gondola as transportation is not a unique concept, it has proven successful in similar mountain communities such as Telluride and Breckenridge, where traffic congestion has greatly been reduced. Breckenridge specifically has as similar model with Gondola access the primary transportation resource from town, eliminating potential pedestrian and car interactions.

WHAT needs to happen next? On August 22, Steamboat Ski Resort goes before SSRA to seek approval for the Public Improvements Agreement (PIA), which outlines the project funding strategy for $30 million collected via a resort self-tax and the reimbursement of $13 million to URAAC. Once the PIA is approved by SSRA, the City Council will convene (also on August 22) and the resort will seek approval of the PIA and Metro District Service Plan. If/when these two plans are approved, the next step is another meeting where SSRA allocates $20 million of URA funds for the Gondola Transit Center with a future $13 million reimbursement from SSRC; and the Metro District being put on the November Ballot for impacted businesses (SSRC) to vote.

City staff and representatives from the ski area and Alterra have been meeting regularly over the last six months to negotiate the agreement and create a plan for the design, construction and on-going operations of the GTC and Meadows gondola. If/when the PIA and Metro District are approved, the resort, URAAC and the City can move forward on the design of the Gondola Transit Center, gondola, and Meadows lot and opportunities for community education and input beginning early fall 2023. This timeline sets the foundations for construction work to potentially being 2026.

Reimagined Transit Center at Steamboat Resort

News / The Steamboat Stage:... September 22, 2022

The Steamboat Stage: A New Hybrid and Dynamic Space

The Steamboat Stage in the heart of Steamboat Square will have a new and improved look to welcome guests back for the 2022/2023 winter season. As part of Full Steam Ahead, the new stage with a new orientation will be another exciting improvement for Steamboat Resort guests to enjoy.

If you are familiar with Steamboat Resort, the new stage will be in the same location as the previous stage, but with a different orientation. Facing into Steamboat Square, the new stage will allow for better and more open sight lines and easier viewing from multiple locations throughout the base area. New timber frames on the stage will echo the design of The Range Food and Drink Hall and escalator, ultimately creating a more cohesive Steamboat Square experience. With a narrower and higher design, along with an open back, guests will also be able to enjoy fantastic views of Steamboat Resort behind and adjacent to the stage.

In the past, the stage has predominantly been used for concerts or special events, but the new Steamboat Stage is transitioning into more of a hybrid space that can be used for a variety of functions, as well as additional seating for The Range Food and Drink Hall when it’s not in use. Music concerts are at the heart of the Steamboat experience, and those will continue as they have in the past. Other events such as Meet & Greets with Olympians, educational outdoor talks, dance performances, magic shows, storytelling events and photo experiences will also be hosted on the new stage. In the summer, the space will be used for yoga classes, outdoor movies, yard games and more. With a new and improved look, the Steamboat Stage will be a hybrid and dynamic space in the heart of Steamboat Square.

Steamboat Stage is scheduled to be ready for Opening Day, and there are some exciting events lined up for the season including the New Year’s Eve Light Up Snow Cat Parade, the Music Fest at Steamboat, the 60th Anniversary Celebration for Steamboat, the 48th Annual Bud Light Cowboy Downhill, the Steamboat Light the Night Celebration, the Bud Light Rocks the Boat Free Concert Series and Springalicious. While that is a fun and exciting list, there will also be times when the stage is not in use and the base area is a bit more quiet. During those times, the Steamboat Stage will be a gathering location and a place to enjoy lunch or après ski while also enjoying the views of beautiful Mount Werner.

Steamboat Resort has an impressive list of improvements that are part of Full Steam Ahead, and the new hybrid and dynamic Steamboat Stage will certainly bring a lot of fun and entertainment to the heart of Steamboat Square.

The Centerpiece of Steamboat Square: Skeeter’s Rink

With Full Steam Ahead in full swing these days, excitement is building over the impending improvements that Steamboat Resort has in store. The centerpiece of Steamboat Square at the base area will be Skeeter’s Ice Rink, welcoming all resort guests to a very festive winter scene. Skeeter’s Ice Rink is currently under construction and slated to be completed by the upcoming winter season.

The rink itself will be 133 feet by 58 feet, which is not the size of a hockey rink (200′ x 85′), but is large enough to accommodate a variety of winter activities. The sides of the rink will not be typical plexiglass, instead, the rink will be surrounded by open rails, which will create quite the dreamy winter experience. Outside of the ice rink there will even be some “drink rails” where spectators can watch the activity in the ice rink while sipping on hot chocolate or their beverage of choice, of course.

Next Slide

During Phase I of Full Steam Ahead, the foundation and some of the infrastructure for the ice rink was already completed, but the more visual construction for the rink will start in about one month. The curb, mechanical installation and actual construction of the rink itself will begin in early July, and will give a much more visual perspective to the public by the end of July or early August. The railings aren’t slated to go in until October, but by that point, you’ll have been able to see the rink really take on an exciting new shape.

Steamboat Resort has some exceptionally fun ideas and concepts surrounding Skeeter’s Ice Rink, for the winter and summer seasons alike. As for winter, which will be the true season of the ice rink, Steamboat plans to have the rink open from 10 A.M. until 8 P.M. every day. Guests can enjoy daytime skating or nighttime skating, or both, with an open skate concept where if you bring your own ice skates, you can skate for free. A skate rental kiosk in the form of a converted horse trailer will also be stationed close by the ice rink to assist guests. Figure skates and hockey skates will be available for rent, along with helmets and some trainers for the youngest or most beginner skaters, to enhance their experience and enjoyment.

While nothing is set in stone, Steamboat Resort is exploring the idea of facilitating a curling league, figure skating lessons and other special activities on ice. Earlier I mentioned that the rink will be surrounded by open rails instead of plexiglass, so there will not be hockey on the rink at this time. Within the rink’s mechanical system will be a cooling system, which will make the rink not dependent on Mother Nature and open from the start of the winter season through the end of March.

Next to Skeeter’s Ice Rink will be the new Range Food Hall featuring a variety of foods like Pioneer Pies, Twister Tacos, Sunshine Bowl Ramen and Why Not Sweet Spot, along with a full bar, catering to indoor and outdoor diners alike. Surrounding the ice rink will be rocking chairs and fire pits for guests to enjoy while either spectating or simply taking a break from skating.

During the summers, Skeeter’s Ice Rink will be covered in a soft turf, allowing for other activities to come to fruition like yoga, lawn games and outdoor movies. As for the outdoor movies, the large screen would be towards the base of the gondola, giving viewers the experience of an outdoor movie with a backdrop of Steamboat Resort. The idea here is to take the wintertime centerpiece of Steamboat Square and also make it a summertime centerpiece that guests can enjoy in a more summery way.

Now that I’ve painted the visual and given you the details on Skeeter’s Ice Rink, one question that you may have left for me is: Who is Skeeter? Good question. Skeeter, also legally known as Gladys Werner, was the oldest child in the famous Werner family that included Buddy and Loris. She was born in 1933 and began skiing in 1934, at the age of one. In 1949 she rose in the ranks of competitive skiing and garnered national attention by winning the West of the Mississippi Championship in Sun Valley, Idaho. From there she continued in competition and became the youngest member of the U.S. FIS team and placed 10th in downhill. Skeeter was featured on the cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine and went on to marry Heisman Trophy winner Doak Walker in 1969.

Skeeter started the Steamboat Ski School, serving as director and owner until 1969. She also coached for the Colorado Junior National Team and the infamous Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. In 1984, Skeeter was inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame and went on to receive the Hazie Werner Award in 1989. In 2001, Skeeter passed away at the age of 67. Her legacy lives on in the Steamboat Springs community today, and Skeeter’s Ice Rink will soon be a wonderful reminder of her impact on the world of women’s skiing and Steamboat Resort.

Opening day for the winter ski season at Steamboat Resort will be November 23, 2022 (subject to change). Skeeter’s Ice Rink is also planning to open that day, bringing a new and more exciting facade to Steamboat Square. Stop by and check out the construction progress at the base area and get ready for a winter of skiing and skating alike!

Construction Meets Creativity

The Story Behind Steamboat Square’s Art Installations

Rolling ahead on $180 million in monumental improvements, Steamboat is welcoming increased expert terrain, revamped learning and base areas and much more. These major capital enhancements will unfold over the next three years, positioning Steamboat as the second-largest ski resort in Colorado.

With growth comes construction. Thanks to the creative team at Cultivator — the Denver-based ad agency behind similar projects in Snowmass and Beaver Creek — the ambitious Steamboat Square facelift is cloaked in an educational and engaging art installation.

While crews kick up dust, building a new après ski plaza, ice rink and food hall, skiers follow the path from the transit hub, riding the new escalator and walking along the art installation to the repositioned gondola base. Playful exhibits tell the story of how our town runs on tradition, how we’re growing and staying sustainable and how we celebrate our Olympic heritage.

As you make your way to the slopes, be sure to stop and spin the snowflakes, snap a podium pic and peer into the future through giant six-foot goggles.

“Folks at Steamboat really love the mountain and they care about what’s going on,” says Cultivator creative director Chris Beatty. “We love seeing groups stop and gather around these art installations to talk.”

Follow the larger-than-life letters “S-N-O-W” this way arrow from the transit center to the escalator to the resort base. Look for the word “Gondola” spelled out with 783 painted ski pole baskets leading skiers to the new gondola location.

Tip your ski helmet to the gondola mural comprised of 57 spray-painted cowboy hardhats and get ready to hitch a ride in our brand-new, 10-person Wild Blue Gondola — the longest and fastest 10-person gondola in North America.

Spinning snowflakes made of real horseshoes remind us that our favorite activities happen on snow. That’s why we’re making more of it earlier by upping snowmaking efforts on Sunshine Peak, guaranteeing great early-season powder.

A wall of cowboy boot ice skates celebrates the new ice-skating rink and Steamboat Square centerpiece. Chris and team collected real cowboy boots from Colorado shops and even rounded up a tiny pair from one of our marketing guru’s little skiers.

View the future through six-foot ski goggles made of high-density sign foam. The heart of the resort reimagined appears as you’re looking out from the inside, including the exciting new Range Food & Drink Hall coming summer 2022 and 650 new skiable acres coming opening winter 2023.

Marvel at the nine-foot oversized spurs made of metal and up-cycled cross-country skis. In the tradition of our pioneering spirit, we’re spurring forward momentum with an exciting transformation.

Capture an Instagram story on the Olympic podium, taking home the gold, silver or bronze and honoring the 98 Olympians to come out of Steamboat so far—more than any other town in North America.

“The number one goal is to inform guests about what’s happening with the development,” Chris says. “We want to assure people that Steamboat is staying true to its roots and authenticity.”
