Colorado  Ski  Resort  In  Steamboat  Springs  to  See  Major  Upgrade   Work

A popular ski resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado is in line for a variety of facility upgrades.

The effort will see a redevelopment of the resort’s major base area, as well as an expansion of the on-mountain terrain.

The Denver-based Alterra Mountain Company, owner of the resort, has announced that it expects to spend up to $207 million on the resort’s improvements.

The company has already invested just over $500 million since 2017 on improvements to its properties.

In a statement, Rusty Gregory, Alterra chief executive officer, said the company continues to be committed to “infusing meaningful capital into on-mountain enhancements, base area development, and advanced technology that will elevate the mountain experience for all who visit.”

Phase one work at the Steamboat Ski Resort is expected to see the enhancement of the property’s Gondola Square, providing new restaurant and retail space.

The company also wants to eventually add around 650 acres to the resort’s Pioneer Ridge area.

The upgrade work at Steamboat Springs is expected to begin by early summer, with a completion date of fall 2022.

Other Alterra resorts in California and Utah are also slated for significant upgrades.
Altogether, Alterra operates 15 resorts, primarily in Colorado, California, and Utah.

The Steamboat Springs resort, featuring a top elevation of more than 10,500 feet and up to 165 runs, was originally opened in early 1963.
