Steamboat’s Newly Installed Lift Cuts Ride Time in Half

You’re off to an amazing ski vacation with friends or family. Excitement is stirring, and you can’t wait to hit the slopes.

No one likes waiting, but it is a part of life. You go to the store, a coffee shop, or even the doctor’s office and you’ll find lines and wait times that you don’t want to deal with, but are simply forced to. You really don’t want to encounter that during your vacation. A ski getaway is about having a fun, thrilling adventure so it would be nice not break the adrenaline rush by waiting in long lines.

Steamboat Resort understands what its guests desire, and has spent a lot of time and money installing a new lift that is better, faster, and safer for all who vacation there.

Faster Than Ever
Once you arrive and get a good look at the snow covered mountain, anticipation really builds. You head for the lift and find the new express lift looming before you. What does this mean for you as a skier? Faster access to the trails so you can get more thrills in.

You’ll find Steamboat’s new high speed quad replacing the Elkhead chair this season, it’s 8th detachable lift. The new and improved lift will take you to your skiing journey in half the time that it took their previous lift. That’s right, half the time.

The new lift will cut the current 5.8 minute ride to just 2.5 minutes, and will help disperse the traffic around the beginner and low-intermediate level terrain.

It’s Safer
Not only is the new lift more efficient at getting you to your destination in record time, it’s safer too. With its state-of-the-art safety bars, any new, inexperienced, or young skier will feel safe from the possibility of accidentally falling from the ski lift while it’s running. So, take the little ones or the beginners up with confidence, and have the peace of mind knowing that they’re more than safe from any dangerous falls.

Steamboat’s strategic new lift is an upgrade where it really matters, and they’re planning even more lift upgrades in the coming seasons. You came to ski, and they want you to get to the slopes faster, increasing your ski time and improving your adventure. They’ve listened to their guests, and delivered big.
