The owners of Steamboat Springs in Colorado, Intrawest, have announced that a new detachable chair will be built this summer to open for the 2016\/17 winter season.<\/p>\n
The new lift will be part of a large investment by Intrawest, as part of their $45 million investment in their six ski resorts, which also includes Winter Park in Colorado.<\/p>\n
The new lift will be called the \u2018Elkhead\u2019 and will help smooth transit on the south side of the mountain.<\/p>\n
Will substantially improve guest experience at Steamboat<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Intrawest CEO Tom Marano, “The increased speed and capacity of this new lift will substantially improve the guest experience at Steamboat.”<\/p>\n The current journey time will be reduced from 5 minutes 48 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds.<\/p>\n Only last month we blogged about the huge investment plans at Whistler, which include a number of summer and year-round projects, including an aquacentre and sports centre.<\/p>\n The plans include the introduction of a new \u2018mountain coaster\u2019 and a mini golf course.<\/p>\n The mini golf will only be open during the summer season, when around 30,000-40,000 people visit the resort at weekends, and will be similar to Intrawest\u2019s existing course at Blue Mountain.<\/p>\n The \u2018mountain coaster\u2019 will be open year round and will join existing amenities on offer to holidaymakers including a tube park, a bowling alley, ice arena and ice climbing and their own natural hot springs.<\/p>\n Accommodation in Steamboat<\/strong><\/p>\n For details of accommodation, lodging and lift tickets for Steamboat, please contact the Coda team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The owners of Steamboat Springs in Colorado, Intrawest, have announced that a new detachable chair will be built this summer to open for the 2016\/17 winter season.
