The 2023-24 season was vital for Colorado’s Steamboat ski resort, with the mountain lastly finishing two large initiatives that had been anticipated for years.
First off, the resort accomplished the second stage of the Wild Blue Gondola, marking the longest conventional gondola in North America. Secondly, the resort opened an almost 500-acre enlargement into Mahogany Ridge and Fish Creek Canyon, bringing a brand new large, expert-oriented terrain zone to the resort. Individually, these initiatives could nicely have been fairly impactful, however mixed, they throw a one-two punch on the Colorado ski scene that’s resulted within the largest disruption we’ve seen in over a decade.
