Operated by the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation, it is located on Mount Werner, a mountain in the Park Range in the Routt National Forest.
A couple of blue runs can also be found from the Four Points, BAR-UE, and Storm Peak Express lifts, as are a few in Morningside Park.
The manufacturer (Doppelmayr) sent a team from Austria to help with the situation, and the Steamboat lift Ops worked together around the clock to build, ship, and install the replacement part(s).
The $220 million Steamboat improvement project "Full Steam Ahead" constructed new amenities, lifts, and terrain to better the resort experience for skiers and riders.
In June 2021, the first phase of the mountain project "Full Steam Ahead" broke ground with the removal of the Steamboat Gondola building and slight improvements of the base including escalators, moving the gondola terminal closer to the mountain, and a new ski lessons building for small children.
Construction began on an ice skating rink and restaurant to dramatically improve the feel and flow of the base area.
[15] The final phase of Full Steam Ahead focused solely on the on-mountain experience for the 2023-2024 ski season: a new snowmaking system for the popular Sunshine Bowl, finishing construction of the record-breaking[16] top-to-bottom gondola, and a 650 acre expert terrain expansion.
