Welcome

cAlling steAmBoAt home

You may know it as Ski Town USA, as Bike Town USA, as a vacation destination or as an outdoor adventure haven. But we know it as home, and so can you.

We’re glad you’re interested in learning more about moving you, your family or your business to Steamboat Springs, and we have so much to share with you in our 2015 Relocation Guide, brought

to you by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association.

Calling Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley home means being part of a strong and tightknit community. It means living in an ideal place to raise a family or start a business. With state-of-theart infrastructure, a growing and educated labor pool, a diverse economic base and an extraordinary quality of life, you’ll find that Steamboat is more than an outdoor paradise and world-class ski resort.

At its heart, Steamboat Springs is a ranching town infused with outdoor adventure culture and inhabited by 12,000 kind, welcoming folks who have a tendency to work hard, smile more and enjoy all that the beautiful landscape has to offer.

Nestled in the Yampa River Valley, Steamboat Springs and its

surrounding areas are fed by the wild, flowing river and nourished with more than 300 days of sunshine per year.

In the winter, Steamboat Ski Area’s 2,965 acres offer a pristine canvas for the 350 inches of light and fluffy Champagne Powder® that falls each winter. Summer brings ample water recreation, hundreds of miles of singletrack trails and scenic vistas.

While Steamboat Springs remains an ideal and attractive place to visit — and tourism continues to grow year-round — its diverse economy features a healthy outdoor recreation manufacturing sector, locationneutral businesses and energy development.

With Yampa Valley Regional Airport located just 25 miles away, air travel is at your fingertips. Recent developments

are enhancing local broadband services while entrepreneurial support abounds through programs like the Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center at Colorado Mountain College.

A variety of amenities helps support the town’s vibrant quality of life, from a Mayo Clinic Care Network hospital and a digital-minded library to genuine Western hospitality and the bustling and revitalized entertainment district in quaint, historic downtown.

Living the Steamboat Springs lifestyle is a dream completely within your reach. In these pages, you’ll find out how and why to make Steamboat Springs into a place you can call home, too.

doWntoWn mAkeover Downtown Steamboat Springs is enjoying a renaissance the likes of which the city has never seen. “It’s truly amazing what’s occurring down there and what it’s become,” Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Manager Tracy Barnett says. “All the hard work is paying off.”

Highlighting the improvements is Yampa Street, a restaurant- and bar-filled, riverside pedestrian-friendly zone that would make any mountain town green with envy. No fewer than 10 dining establishments and bars now line Yampa Street, many offering riverside dining and drinking. And all are close enough to walk between, meaning patrons can bar- and restaurant-hop all night long.

The revitalization owes itself to revamped efforts by the city to improve an area it recognized has great potential. In 2013, voters approved spending $900,000 in lodging tax dollars for Yampa Street parks. Other funding options also are being explored. The city is weighing a proposal to use tax increment financing for additional downtown improvements, and a business improvement district board is surveying residents for improvements funded by a property tax.

The city also is beginning negotiations to purchase a property at Sixth and Yampa streets to convert into a public park with improved river access. Finally, YVEA’s former headquarters on the west end of Yampa Street recently went under contract with developer Blue Sage Ventures, which plans to repurpose the building into a mix of retail, residential and commercial spaces, bringing renewed energy to Yampa Street’s west end, as well.

Historic Downtown Steamboat Springs.

side note

Downtown’s burgeoning dining scene Nowhere can Yampa Street’s revitalization effort be better seen than in its vibrant restaurant scene. More than 15 new or changed eateries join an already strong and established lineup downtown, including the following appetizers: On Yampa Street, diners are delighting in the addition of the LaRoche family’s E3 Chophouse, Sake2U and Aurum Food & Wine along the river as well as a new location for Ciao Gelato, the continued success of Carl’s Tavern, the opening of Eureka, offering Mediterranean street food, and burgers to go at the new Back Door Grill. Elsewhere downtown is Lincoln Avenue’s newest Mexican restaurant Vaqueros; the addition of The Barley bar in Old Town Square; smoothie, juice and panini specialist ROOTZ; the Red Bowl World Curry Haus (try the Gondwana with kangaroo); the new Karma Wine Bar and Lounge; and the southern fare of Low Country Kitchen. Finally, you can dance it all away at Schmiggity’s, Steamboat’s newest dance club.

Farmers Market moves to Yampa Street Coming off its 10th anniversary, the 14-week-long, Saturday Steamboat Farmers Market switched locations, happily moving into its new home along Seventh Street between Lincoln Avenue and Yampa Street, right in the middle of downtown.

“It’s a great spot for it,” says organizer Tracy Barnett, adding that the weekly event draws more than 100 vendors. “It adds a lot of vibrancy to that area of Yampa Street.”

With live music each week, the ongoing Steamboat event has become one of the most popular farmers markets in the mountains, offering thousands of visitors the chance to shop, mingle, taste, drink and more the first day of every summer weekend. Filled with food booths, arts and crafts kiosks and more, it serves up something for the whole family while adding ambiance to Steamboat’s newest hotbed. It’s open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 14 Saturdays every summer.

The new home for YVEA. Photo by Scott Franz

yveA purchAses tic Building for $9.7 million Marking the sale of the single largest industrial-zoned piece of property in the Rocky Mountains, in July the Yampa Valley Electric Association completed its purchase of the 15-acre, 47,000-square-foot TIC campus at the corner of U.S. Highway 40 and Elk River Road for $9.7 million. TIC has moved most of its employees out of Steamboat to consolidate operations on the Front Range.

“To have a business like YVEA located there will go a long way in stabilizing the area,” Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association CEO Tom Kern says. “It will become an impetus for what happens next there.”

The purchase expedites the timeline for YVEA’s move from its current 58-year-old headquarters downtown on Yampa Street and into a roomier headquarters.

“We see this as a place we can grow in,” says YVEA President Diane Johnson, adding that 6 | move to Steamboat | 2015

they might lease some of the office space to others. “This was clearly our preferred alternative.”

YVEA’s departure from downtown also makes way for redevelopment opportunities there.

Its downtown headquarters were recently put under contract with developer Blue Sage Ventures, which plans to repurpose the building into a mix of retail, residential and commercial spaces.

“Our vision is adaptive reuse,” says principal Steve Shelesky, adding that it should be an up to 55,000-square-foot project.

“The entire street is an asset to downtown, and this building will be a part of that story. It will be an anchor at this end of downtown.”

“It was a modern building, so we’re going to stick with modern industrial architecture,” he adds.

“It’s going to be unique and well suited to meet the needs of the local business community.”

New development comes to base area As well as redeveloping the YVEA building downtown, Blue Sage Ventures also is taking its expertise to the mountain.

The company recently went under contract to redevelop the 13,000-square-foot Clock Tower Square building, Xanadu condominiums and vacant land between Burgess Creek Road and Ski Time Square Drive, restoring the base area’s inventory of commercial, retail and restaurant space. A new residential development is slated to come in a later phase of the plan.

The developer sees great potential in the property and aims to be a big part of the base area’s renaissance. “It’s like a blank canvas down there,” principal Steve Shelesky says.

“The window here has never been better.”

Phase 1, he says, would be renovating the Clock Tower commercial space and enhancing common areas. “We can deliver product in the near term that fills a need that has otherwise gone unmet,” Shelesky says, adding that the redevelopment could add 80,000 to 100,000 square feet of new product at the base area.

“It would be the first new investment in the base area in some time,” local Realtor David Baldinger Jr. says. “Hopefully, it will reinvigorate the area on a step-by-step basis.”

poWerice receives JoB groWth tAx credit The state, alongside a local energy food company, is helping Steamboat create more jobs.

PowerICE, a local manufacturer of frozen, electrolyte-replenishing hydration bars, recently was awarded a $515,901 tax credit from Colorado’s Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit program for undertaking job creation projects that grow small business in Colorado.

“We’re committed to building our business in Colorado,” PowerICE President Grant Fenton says. “This incentive program will allow us to hire Colorado residents and contribute to the state’s economic growth as PowerICE expands. It’s great that the governor’s office supports small business development in rural and entrepreneurial communities like Steamboat.”

Administered by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the credit provides a state income tax credit to businesses undertaking job creation projects that would not occur otherwise. To qualify, the new jobs must have an average yearly wage of 110 percent of the county average wage, which is $54,411 in Routt County. The company has been approved for the creation of 100 new jobs over five years.

“PowerICE is a great example of the emerging outdoor recreation manufacturing cluster in Steamboat,” Gov. John Hickenlooper says. “We’re thrilled they have chosen to expand in this part of the state.”

Last year, PowerICE relaunched in Colorado and elsewhere, attending numerous sport tournaments and athletic events. In

2014, it reformulated to become all-natural and expanded its growth into the health care and grocery categories — all of which is good news for town.

“One of our community’s economic development objectives is to diversify our economic base,” Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association CEO Tom Kern says. “Having a company like PowerICE here goes a long way toward meeting that objective. These are exactly the type of professional jobs we like to increase in our community.”

smAll Business resources Entrepreneurial-based small business is the backbone of the Routt County economy (more than 90 percent of registered businesses have fewer than 10 employees). But while the sense of independence that comes from moving to a mountain town lends itself to entrepreneurship, how do you get started in a new community?

The Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center at Colorado Mountain College helps budding entrepreneurs bridge the gap between a good idea and a feasible business plan. Offering a free First Steps monthly workshop with basics on business planning, a Success Steps business luncheon series, and a low-cost small business workshop called Next Steps, YVEC has numerous programs and resources to help you start a business.

SCORE, a free business counseling service, also is hosted at CMC. SCORE counselors are highly experienced professionals who volunteer to assist small business owners and startups on creating budgets, marketing strategies, operating plans and overcoming barriers to success.

In addition, CMC’s business incubator offers professional office space in the new Academic Center for entrepreneurs who wish to work in a supportive, flexible environment with an assigned mentor.

Conference rooms, shared office resources, plus the convenience of a campus cafeteria, fitness facilities and academic learning options create an ideal environment for an office-based business launch.

Good advice, connections, knowledge of state and local resources and more can be found at the Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center.

AccommodAtions tAx Benefits trAils, yAmpA street If Steamboat looks like it has a great lineup of public amenities, chalk it up to an innovative funding source. Already responsible for building the Strings Music Pavilion, Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs and Haymaker Golf Course, a portion (1 percent) of the city’s accommodations tax gets appropriated to fund improvements that will attract visitors and benefit residents.

“The accommodations tax has helped develop amenities that enhance Steamboat Springs as a well-rounded community,” says Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association CEO Tom Kern. “From building Haymaker Golf Course to the next 10 years’ worth of trail developments, it continues to support amenities that add to Steamboat’s appeal as a place to visit, live and work.”

Earning the most recent round of funding are the town’s network of hiking and biking trails and revitalization efforts for Yampa Street downtown. The two projects recently

8 | move to Steamboat | 2015

were chosen by taxpayers to receive an estimated $6 million in tax proceeds during the next 10 years, or about $600,000 per year.

Getting the lion’s share will be local trail-building efforts for biking and hiking, receiving a total of $5 million throughout the next 10 years. Yampa Street revitalization efforts will receive $900,000 throughout the next three years, with improvement plans including everything from the creation of additional public parks to building a 16- to 24-foot-wide walkway along the river side of Yampa Street.

On the trail-building side, the funds will be used by the Steamboat Springs Trails Alliance to further expand biking and hiking trails across town, the fruits of which already are being seen. This past summer, funds were used to build the new 4-mile-long Morning Gloria Trail accessing Emerald Mountain.

“It’s a great use of the funds,” the city’s

Planning Director Tyler Gibbs says. “Few downtowns have parks like Howelsen Hill and Emerald Mountain adjacent to them, complete with ski jumps and mountain bike trails. Great communities look for these types of opportunities.”

The funds also will be used to expand the Yampa River Core Trail to Legacy Ranch south of town, open new public access to the Yampa near the Chuck Lewis State Wildlife Area and build new trail networks for mountain biking and hiking. The Trails Alliance ultimately is proposing to build, expand and improve 46 multi-use trails and connectors in the city and adjacent lands.

Many of these projects also can be leveraged with grants from such entities as Great Outdoors Colorado. “The projects involve way more than just building new mountain bike trails,” local trail designer Aryeh Copa says. “They’ll benefit everyone who comes to Steamboat.”

milestone AnniversAries

Routt County Fair celebrates 100 years, SmartWool 20, Steamboat Today 25 A slew of milestones has come through the Yampa Valley lately, including last year’s 50th anniversary of Steamboat Ski Area and the 100th for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club and Winter Carnival. Joining the club in 2014 is Hayden’s Routt County Fair, which celebrates its 100th anniversary, local manufacturer SmartWool, which turns 20, and the Steamboat Today newspaper, ringing in its 25th year.

“It’s a huge milestone and accomplishment,” Routt County Extension 4-H agent Tami Thurston says about the fair’s 100th.

“Clubs had special decorations on their pens and we made special 100th belt buckles and 4-H chairs for winners.”

Several new events paid tribute to the fair’s century-long history, including the Routt County Fair Chute Out, featuring special bull and bronc riding contests. It also continued such traditions as the Bobby Robinson Sr. Memorial Barbecue, art exhibits and the junior livestock sale benefiting 4-H. With more than 1,300 exhibits, the event continues to be what its organizers call “one of the biggest little fairs in the state.”

SmartWool rolled out the carpet for its

20th anniversary. Founded in Steamboat 1994, the company, owned by clothing giant VF Corp., has brought more than 80 million pairs of socks and tens of thousands of apparel products to market around the world and is considered the world leader in performance merino wool apparel. “Our growth over the last 20 years has been fueled by the quality of life Steamboat offers,” President Mark Satkiewicz says. “We attract people who know what it means to live in Steamboat.” The company has made Outside Magazine’s “Best Places to Work” list for the past six years and also has a strong philanthropic side, with employees encouraged to volunteer for causes of their choice and the company’s Advocacy team distributing more than $1.5 million to various causes since 2006.

The Steamboat Today daily newspaper also celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014, as an offshoot of the weekly Steamboat Pilot newspaper founded in 1885.

The free daily newspaper, which published its first issue Aug. 21, 1989, celebrated the milestone with a gala reception and art show at the Depot Art Center downtown,

featuring iconic photographs published throughout the past 25 years. “It’s a huge milestone and a testament to the great community we have in Steamboat,” says Publisher Suzanne Schlicht. “We couldn’t have made it without the entire town’s support.”

Bike toWn usA Steamboat Springs’ bicycling momentum is rolling strong. Voters recently approved more than $5 million in lodging tax proceeds to build more trails, town recently won a $33,000 grant from Bell Helmets to build the Bear River Bike Park, and the International Mountain Bicycling Association chose Steamboat to host its 2014 World Summit for the event’s first stop in Colorado. Add to this a world-class bike path, miles of trail improvements, ride to work and school initiatives, new BMX, pump and freeride options, a local race series, two bike manufacturers, new downhill riding at the ski resort, events like the Tour de Steamboat, Steamboat Stinger and revamped Endro-X Series, and it’s easy to see why there’s so much hoopla about this bicycling hamlet.

It’s enough that the League of American Bicyclists recently awarded Steamboat its Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community

designation, and IMBA labeled it a Bronze Level Riding Center, one of only 17 such designations in the world.

“Biking help makes Steamboat a year-round destination,” says Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association CEO Tom Kern, whose organization has hosted several national bike media events in town over the past few years. “It’s an integral part of our community, just like skiing.”

The movement has hosted two nationally recognized Bike Summit meetings, produces the annual Steamboat Springs Bike Guide and has twice attracted the USA Pro Challenge to town, with the tour planning another visit in 2015.

But it’s the town’s riding options that comprise the backbone of this biking movement. “People are coming here from around the country just to go biking,” Steamboat Ski & Bike Kare owner Harry Martin says. “That’s the main reason it’s

getting so much attention. There are just a ton of different options you can do right from town.”

Adds Honey Stinger founder Bill Gamber, also an avid rider: “There aren’t many communities this passionate about riding.”

From the town’s lineup of annual bike events to a world-class bike path to marquee bike manufacturers Kent Eriksen Cycles and Moots Cycles calling Steamboat home, riding bikes is on everyone’s radar.

“Steamboat’s access to riding is pretty unique, from Emerald Mountain downtown to its road loops and freeride trails,” Moots Marketing Director Jon Cariveau says. “It has all the right ingredients.”

Mix those together with a passionate cycling community and Steamboat is the ideal place to pedal, whether it’s on skinny tires or those for the trail.

World chAmpion Johnny spillAne Buys steAmBoAt flyfisher What would you do if you retired from Nordic combined skiing with a world champion crown and three Olympic silver medals, and loved Steamboat Springs and fly-fishing? If you’re local legend Johnny Spillane, you buy a fly-fishing shop.

In late 2013, Spillane, a longtime fishing guide, purchased Steamboat Flyfisher at 35 Fifth St. in downtown Steamboat, ensuring a life of fishing and raising his family in Steamboat, including daughters Genevieve and Hadley. “Aside from skiing, fly-fishing is my other big passion,” says Spillane, who grew up going to Steamboat Flyfisher and later guiding for the outfitter.

Spillane says there are a lot of parallels between professional athletics and business: Both are competitive, with principles that guide success. “I know what it takes to be successful,” he says.

Spillane plans to reach out to destination travelers and expand his outfitting service to include hunting, all while keeping the store’s focus on the guiding and retail side of fly-fishing. Another focus will be on getting more newcomers involved, by hosting clinics, demos and other beginner programs. He also plans to use the company to spread the word about the attributes of Yampa River just a stone’s throw from his store. “Steamboat’s a great town, and the river is a big part of that,” he says.

steAmBoAt ski AreA updAte

More night skiing, new lodge and more Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2013, Steamboat Ski Area continues to better its onmountain experience for guests, from new bike trails and base area enhancements to mountainside eateries and grooming.

Building upon last winter’s improvements — including the new 13,000-square-foot, $5 million Four Points Lodge, night skiing debut and new promenade, creekside amphitheater and concert stage at base area — the momentum continues with a focus on Thunderhead Lodge, snowmaking, grooming and expanded night operations and guest services.

Thunderhead Lodge has a new color scheme and exterior enhancements as well as new carpeting, custom wood accents

and a redesign of Red’s Bar, doubling its size and bettering its views. In Gondola Square, the Bear River Bar & Grill adds a new, permanent outside barbecue facility, while its Umbrella Bar offers a heating system to accommodate night-skiing guests.

The resort also debuts a partnership with OpenTable, a real-time online reservation service for its restaurants, helping guests locate appropriate restaurants, check availability, make reservations and more.

In grooming and snowmaking, the resort adds a new Bison Sherpa winch, the first of its kind in Colorado, augmenting the Beast to groom some of Steamboat’s steepest terrain. The 21-machine fleet now corduroys more than 600 acres nightly.

Snowmaking is upgraded with more than 2 miles of additional pipe, bringing its total to 18 miles. The resort also increases its night operations to Thursday through Monday evenings.

On the retail end, Steamboat Ski & Sport at Sheraton Steamboat Resort expands 35 percent to 6,300 square feet of retail and rental space. Additionally, all ticket services now are housed in the One Steamboat

Place location to better serve guests, with the former space now a lounge for private lesson guests. The resort also upgrades its Mountain Cam network with six new camera locations to let guests better view real-time mountain conditions.

“We continue to strive to make the on-mountain experience truly exceptional for our guests,” resort President and COO Chris Diamond says.

olympiAn toWn usA Percy Jackson has nothing on Steamboat Springs. While he may be the son of Poseidon, the Yampa Valley and its 100-year-old, world-renowned Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club is parent to more Olympians than any other town in the country.

Hang your hat here and there’s a good chance your neighbor might have competed on the world’s biggest athletic stage.

At the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, 14 athletes with ties to Steamboat and its heralded Winter Sports Club competed in the Games, including the locally raised brother/sister tandem of Taylor and Arielle Gold in snowboarding; Nordic combined’s Fletcher brothers (Bryan and Taylor); and homegrown Todd Lodwick, the first American skier to compete in six Winter Olympics.

From John Steele becoming the town’s first Olympian in 1932 in Lake Placid, New York, up to the Vancouver Olympics where local Nordic combined skiers brought home seven medals, Steamboat has ties to more than 88 Olympic athletes, with more than 151 Olympic appearances among them.

You’re as likely to brush elbows with them in the grocery store as in the gondola line.

“The Olympic tradition here is hard to rival,” says retired Nordic combined skier Johnny Spillane, who brought home three movetoSteamboat.com

silver medals from the 2010 Olympics.

“The town has created an atmosphere that breeds Olympic-quality competitors.

Some towns nurture baseball or football but Steamboat nurtures Olympians.”

The list varies depending on how you count; it could be someone who was born and raised here, trained here or moved here after an Olympic appearance. But it’s substantial nonetheless — especially for a mountain town of 12,000. “Our list is as comprehensive and inclusive as we could make it,” says Tread of Pioneers Museum Executive Director Candice Bannister, whose staff monitors the count.

The town’s Olympians cover the spectrum of winter sports, from Nordic and Alpine racing to freestyle skiing and snowboarding. They include everyone from to Steamboat Ski Area Director of Skiing Billy Kidd, who won the U.S. men’s first skiing Olympic Medal in 1964 when he took the silver in slalom, to former Winter Sports Club coach Deb Armstrong, who won the giant slalom gold in 1984.

“Steamboat has produced more Olympians than any other town in North America,” says Winter Sports Club Executive Director Jim Boyne, whose club employs nine Olympians. “Steamboat’s unique success on the world stage and in the Olympics is a byproduct of the way

Air service Hayden’s Yampa Valley Regional Airport is the only commercial service airport serving Northwest Colorado. It hosts four major airlines (American, Delta, Alaska and United) during the ski season (mid-December through March) with direct service from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, Minneapolis/St. Paul, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C. and Denver. Commuter service is provided year-round to Denver by United Express.

The airport provides critical access to the national air transportation system for residents and visitors, facilitates commerce and is a vital catalyst for the area’s growing location-neutral business market. More than 70 percent of the area’s winter vacation travelers arrive through YVRA, which depends on a number of local, state and federal funding sources for its operations and capital improvements.

With growth in passenger traffic expected to increase as much as 15 percent in the next five years, YVRA recently completed a three-phase, $25 million expansion project that replaced the old terminal with a two-story building housing a new baggage claim area, administrative offices, conference rooms, restaurant, enhanced passenger flow and more.

flying eAsy Resort announces new direct flights, growing list to 11 major airports Getting to Steamboat is far easier than it was in the old stagecoach days, whether you’re coming from the East and West coasts or the Sunshine Coast of Australia.

Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. recently announced two new nonstop winter flights from San Francisco and Washington-Dulles International Airports; expanded nonstop service on its Los Angeles and Seattle routes; and additional weekend flights from Chicago and Houston.

Steamboat’s 2014-15 winter flight program provides access from 11 major airports (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Newark/NYC, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington-Dulles) on key U.S. carriers — Alaska, American, Delta and United — featuring convenient connections from more than 300 airports nationwide and worldwide.

“We’ve aggressively worked with the airlines to provide convenient access into Steamboat,” says Rob Perlman, Ski Corp.’s senior vice president of sales and marketing.

fAst fActs

The addition of weekly Saturday flights from Washington-Dulles and San Francisco International into Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Hayden also will provide access to major hubs for United Airlines.

“Not only do they offer us really strong local markets, but they offer us a lot of connections,” says Ski Corp. Airline Program Director Janet Fischer, touting the town’s “hub” system where customers are able to find their way to Steamboat through connections at larger airports. “WashingtonDulles is a big origin city for Steamboat Ski Area customers and connects to major origins across the Eastern seaboard.”

San Francisco will provide another option for travelers coming from Australia, after a nonstop flight from Los Angeles was added two years ago. “We’re trying to take healthy growth with Western markets,” Fischer says.

Los Angeles started with flights Saturday and Sunday, grew to include Thursday last year and adds Monday this upcoming season. Likewise, nonstop flights from Seattle

will grow to include Sunday after starting last year with Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The Seattle addition also brought with it a new carrier, Alaska Airlines, whose new service represents an expansion of its presence in mountain resort towns. “This will be Alaska Airlines’ first Colorado ski destination, giving our customers in the Pacific Northwest the first-ever nonstop service to world-class skiing in the western Colorado Rockies,” Alaska Airlines Vice President of Marketing Joe Sprague says.

On the international side, Perlman adds that eliminating the need to fly to Denver before connecting to Steamboat is a difference-maker for many international travelers.

International travelers, particularly from Australia, now can experience convenient one-stop connections in both directions.

“As a result of our state-of-the-art airport facility and a direct flight program built upon convenience and options, Steamboat’s nonstop flight system is truly a key differentiator against other winter destinations,” Perlman says.

Beer BreWeries If you base a town’s status on its breweries, Steamboat is in good standing, with Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill, Butcherknife Brewing Co. and Storm Peak Brewing Co. all calling the Yampa Valley home. Below are the two most recent additions to the local brewing scene.

of WAter And Wort Butcherknife Brewing Co.

Butcherknife Brewing Co. founders Mark Fitzgerald and Nate Johansing began serving small home-brewed batches of beer in 2011, donating a large percentage to local charities and fundraisers. Now they’ve opened up full time in a 4,000-square-foot brewery with a tap room — complete with large tasting room and two garage doors opening to a patio — at 2875 Elk River Road.

“Right now the brewery produces 60 kegs every 20 days,” Fitzgerald says, adding that its beer can be found in such local establishments as Carl’s Tavern and The Tap House Sports Grill. “But the majority of our movetoSteamboat.com

beer is sold through bottles and cans.”

The brewery prides itself on its recipes, attention to detail and good ol’ Steamboat water. “It’s the best water in Colorado,” Fitzgerald says. “Our location provides us first use off the Continental Divide, which means pure, clean water goes into the heart of every batch.”

It also helps to have Johansing on board, who earned his master’s degree in brewing from the Siebel Institute of Technology and Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany.

“We’re thrilled to finally deliver our beer to Steamboat,” Fitzgerald says, adding that they plan to deliver more than 1,000 barrels in its first year of operation.

Brotherly Beer

Storm Peak Brewing Co. Steamboat’s newest brewery is Storm Peak Brewing Co. at 1744 Lincoln Ave. just west of town. Founded by Colorado natives and brothers Wyatt and Tyler Patterson, the seven-barrel, three-employee brewhouse had its grand opening Aug. 2, 2014, to

rave reviews. Brewed in a 2,000-squarefoot facility with tap room and bar up front, its beers explore a range of styles from light, crisp Golden Ale to a darker Black Ale and a range of seasonal styles in between.

“We’re focused on tap room sales and creating an atmosphere where people can come enjoy our product and spend some time with us,” says Wyatt, whose second brother, Zach, and father, Erik, also are partners in the business. “Our equipment is all in the open so people can see the raw materials and machinery in action.”

So far, patrons enjoying the fruits of its tap room have kept any larger-scale distribution plans on hold. The company is selling every drop it makes before it even leaves the premises. “Our plan is to grow organically,” says Wyatt, who has brewed beer with his brother for years. “Eventually we’ll start distributing, but for now it’s hard enough just keeping enough on hand in the tap room. But we’re proud to call Steamboat home and we love sharing our passion for beer with as many people as possible.”

locAtion-neutrAl Businesses Booming Lone eagles can be found on far more than local cottonwoods above the Yampa River.

Lone eagle workers in Steamboat Springs continue to constitute a big piece of the economic pie. According to research group Yampa Valley Data Partners, location-neutral businesses account for nearly 2,000 workers in town and generate $54 million in annual income, more than the annual payroll of the town’s hospitality industry.

“There’s definitely a thriving entrepreneurial spirit in this valley,” says Jay O’Hare, founder of tech consulting business Altera Marketing Group.

Location-neutral employees can work anywhere they choose, and the infrastructure is there to support them. Steamboat has proven it has everything these workfrom-afar employees need, from high-tech broadband services with download speeds of 100 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps to competitive direct flight and shipping programs.

“It’s an increasingly important component of the economy,” local economic analyst Scott Ford says. “And location-neutral businesses pay on average 20 percent above our current median income.”

For many, it’s more than broadband that’s the deciding factor for relocating entrepreneurs. “Actual broadband capacity doesn’t really attract or repel them,” local entrepreneur Noreen Moore says. “They want a sense of community, good schools

“Our strongest economic asset as a community is being a great place to live.”

— Economic analyst Scott Ford and a safe place to raise children.”

Companies fitting this mold are as varied as the outdoor activities the town offers.

From software techs and salespeople to graphic designers and lone eagles for employers like Oracle, the town is rife with workers whose business borders extend beyond Steamboat.

While a variety of support services exist to meet their business needs, a grass-roots effort lending a hand is Ignite Steamboat, a community think tank founded in 2009. “It grew out of a collective need for entrepreneurs to share ideas and support one another,” founder O’Hare says. “People with a location-neutral ethos make up a growing chunk of the economic pie and there’s value in spreading ideas. We’re a voice and advocate for them.”

What Steamboat has done best to lure this working category, adds Ford, is maintaining its reputation as a great place to live, from its outdoor amenities to high rankings for its hospitals to schools.

“Our strongest economic asset as a community is being a great place to live,” he says.

side note

Drop-In Desk founder Julie Niemi.

Drop-In Desk Recognizing the town’s growing location-neutral businesses, a new company in Steamboat is giving freelancers, entrepreneurs, mobile/ independent workers and more an office they can call their own. Founded

by Julie Niemi, who noticed a wealth of similar operations during a recent stint in Seattle, Drop-In Desk lets workers rent a desk by the day, week or month, offering 20 desks, copying facilities, a 10-person conference room, Wi-Fi, mail service, TV monitor, lockers, whiteboard and more. “I was surprised there wasn’t one here already when I came back as there are a lot of location-neutral businesses here,” Niemi says. “It’s not so much about renting desk space as the community that develops in a co-working space. There’s a wealth of energy, idea sharing, support and communal work ethic around you.”

The company operates out of a 1,200-square-foot, two-room studio at 2093 Curve Plaza. The 24/7 facility also allows pets (“Call first to make sure we don’t have 30 dogs that day,” Niemi says) and is wheelchair accessible. Desk costs run $30 per day, $100 per week or $250 per month, with the conference room $25 per hour. “It’s great for location-neutral workers to have a workplace that has people in different businesses working together,” she says. “There’s a lot of synergy that takes place.”

BroAdBAnd on the rise An old boiler room in the school district’s administrative building is reshaping broadband access in Steamboat Springs.

In May 2014, members of the Northwest Colorado Broadband co-op dedicated the site as a new carrier-neutral location, allowing Northwest Colorado Broadband to connect to middle-mile broadband provider Mammoth Networks. The site allows the school district, city and county to aggregate their demand and pay less for more connectivity, while allowing Mammoth to compete to provide middle-mile services to local Internet service providers and institutional customers. “It’s going to help the entire community,” Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Brad Meeks says.

Yampa Valley Medical Center and Yampa Valley Electric Association will join in the next phase, further aggregating the institutional broadband demand. The city and county each will get 150 Mbps, and the school district 700 Mbps, dramatic improvements to their connections. Mammoth Networks can scale the connection to 10 Gbps and beyond.

Mammoth Networks and other carriers also recently secured an auxiliary connection through Hayden, meaning that if something happens to the fiber line from the east, connections still can get through from the west.

“To my knowledge, it’s never been accomplished up in this valley before,” says Vince O’Connor, the city’s information systems manager, adding that the redundancy will eliminate lost connection consequences.

“It’s going to be a game changer as far as broadband access and reliability around here.”

More competition for middle-mile services also should allow the town’s last mile providers to reduce their own costs while improving speeds, redundancy and service.

Internet connections to homes and business-

es also should get cheaper and faster.

“One of the great outcomes of the Northwest Colorado Broadband initiative is the effective partnership among members and the ongoing collaboration with service providers to expand and improve broadband service for business and residential customers throughout Routt County,” the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s Economic Development Director Jane Blackstone says. “It’s a big improvement.”

reAl estAte trends reveAl opportunities Moving to Steamboat? It’s still a good time to buy.

Since the turn of the century, market value in the Steamboat Springs real estate market has had its ups and downs. For the first half of 2014, the market has seen an increase in the median purchase price (red line in Graph 1) to $320,000, up from the year before at $284,000 and tied for the fourth highest median price the market has ever experienced.

Adding a trend line (black) to the median price reveals just how aggressive the market was in the mid-2000s and how it overcorrected in the early 2010s. However, should the second half of 2014 remain consistent with the first, prices as a whole may normalize.

line path, which indicates median price should be closer to $300,000. This product type could prove a good investment at 20 percent below the trend. Furthermore, no new condominium projects are on the horizon: The only product to meet future condo demand will be existing inventory, and this may soon begin to impact the median price.

The median pricing of townhomes enjoyed a significant bump in 2006, 2007 and 2008, however, their 2014 median price of $444,000 is 7 percent below the 13-year historic trend. They, too, could prove to be a sound investment.

“The local real estate scene is picking up steam,” says Cam Boyd, broker/owner for Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty.

“The average sale price has increased around 11 percent from last year and the total volume is up 14 percent. Our market is small and as consumer confidence increases, more investors will enter and the inventory will shrink faster. There are still some great opportunities in all price ranges and values are still well below the high point of the market in 2008. It seems that prices will continue to climb steadily as the demand outpaces the supply.”

Analyzing product types provides perspective as to which market segments merit opportunity and caution. Single-family homes have seen the greatest activity and appreciation, realizing higher-than-average appreciation since 2000. They also are selling at the second highest median price in history, at $522,500.

The second-most popular residential products are condominiums, which, at least for the time being, have appeared to have leveled off at $250,000. This number is far below the trend

22 | move to Steamboat | 2015

During the past seven years, the recession has taken its toll on Routt County land values, where sellers have had to realize a more than 50 percent depreciation in value since 2008. Slowly recovering from its post-crash low in 2011 of $143,750, 2014 is posting a $175,000 median price and nearing the $190,000 trend line value.

Today’s buyer should be aware of the options available and the opportunities that remain. In 2014, the single-family home market has caught the attention of many, and that window of investment opportunity may not be as open as in condos or townhomes.

Sellers should be realistic about market conditions and not price themselves out of the market. A number of wounds were inflicted throughout the past several years, and although the market is recovering, most buyers remain cautious.

Economy, quality of life driving market trends

Steamboat’s high quality of life and improving labor market are continuing to lift Steamboat out of the recession, local economic analyst Scott Ford says.

On the economic front, he says key indicators point to a continued recovery for Routt County, with gross retail sales and unemployment numbers improving in 2014. He adds that the group’s most recent forecast gives reason for optimism.

“We’ve seen an employment recovery as well as growth in the retail trade sector,” he says. “And the job increases are coming in a number of sectors, including the technological, health care, construction industries and more. It’s a broadbased recovery with both part- and full-time job growth.”

Ford also sees encouraging signs in the size of the local workforce and growing income levels. “More than 70 percent of the local workforce is working full-time jobs, which is pretty active” he says. “We’re also seeing household income growth greater rate than the rate of inflation.”

Behind it all, he adds, is something most towns don’t have the benefit of: an attractive, family-friendly community. “We live in an extraordinary place, which gives us the best of both worlds,” he says. “We’re still seeing a lot of young families move here, bringing jobs or employment with them.”

steAmBoAt neighBorhoods shine Live in Steamboat Springs and you can bet you’ll share a story or two about the weekend’s adventures over your backyard fence.

It’s as friendly of a town as you’ll find anywhere, no matter the neighborhood you settle down in. From higher-end homes along Fish Creek and the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Course in The Sanctuary to quaint Victorians dotting Old Town and family-affordable options west of town in Silver Spur and Steamboat II, borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor always will be just a door knock away.

For proximity to the mountain, buyers can choose from townhomes, condos or homes near the resort, or a variety of single-family homes in the Whistler and Fish Creek Falls Road neighborhoods. Closer to town, neighborhoods range from Fairview and Brooklyn “on the other side of the tracks” with backyard access to Emerald Mountain to countless walk-to-town homes downtown, some old and some new (including a few geothermally heated homes). Farther away are homes and working ranches in Strawberry Park and beyond, as well as those in the Riverside and Tree Haus neighborhoods.

In all, more than 20 distinct neighborhoods dot town, each one offering its own charm. “Steamboat is a bit of an anomaly as far as neighborhoods go,” says Ulrich Salzgeber, of Buyer’s Resource. “At most ski resorts, the higher-dollar-per-square-foot homes are around the base. That’s not necessarily the case here. Steamboat has a lot of great neighborhoods people want to be in.”

What all these neighborhoods share is a feeling of belonging to one of the best communities in the country. “What separates us from other resorts is that the people who live here, live here,” Salzgeber adds. “Steamboat has a lot of other attractive features besides the mountain, foremost of which is its community.”

steAmBoAt springs school district 2014 tcAp results Strong academic performance continues Once again, students in Steamboat Springs schools have scored at high levels of proficiency significantly above state averages.

According to results for the Colorado Department of Education’s 2014 State Assessments in reading, writing and mathematics, Steamboat Springs students are demonstrating academic growth that places them above state averages.

Scores on the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program assessment include the performance of students from Strawberry Park Elementary School, Soda Creek Elementary School, the North Routt Community Charter School, Steamboat Springs Middle School, Steamboat Springs High School and Yampa Valley High School.

Scores are based on students reaching proficiency in each of the content areas of reading, writing and math. In 2014, local students ranged from 83 to 93 percent of students at any grade level achieving proficiency or above, with scores ranging from 11 to 24 points above state averages. In writing, the results showed between 66 and 84 percent of all students ranking proficient or above (15 and 27 points above state averages); and in math, between 56 and 87 percent ranked proficient and above range (13 and 28 points above state averages).

“The results of our proficiency scores continue to demonstrate the high quality of education that the students in our district receive,” Director of Teaching and Learning Marty Lamansky says. “The scores are one of many indicators of the high level of expectation of our staff, students, parents and community.”

Growth data — based on the academic progress of students as they move up in each grade level and expressed as a median growth percentile, with 50 considered typical — shows Steamboat Springs School District students exceeding that mark in all three content areas of math, reading and writing. The district considers the growth statistic as one of the most important indicators of student success as it demonstrates how students are progressing as they move through grade levels.

Its mission is to make sure that all students are learning in a safe environment, are prepared to succeed in an ever-changing world, and can apply essential academic skills and knowledge in various content areas.

There are two public elementary schools (kindergarten through fifth grade): Soda Creek Elementary, located in town, and Strawberry Park Elementary, located at the middle school campus. There are about 500 students per school.

The Steamboat Springs Middle School (sixth through eighth grades) has been recognized as a school of distinction by the state of Colorado for sixth years in a row, earning the John Irwin Award and Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award.

The John Irwin awards are given to schools that demonstrate excellent academic achievement.

On the school performance framework used by the state to

evaluate schools, these schools “exceed” expectations on the academic achievement indicator and “meet or exceed” expectations on the indicator related to academic growth gaps. The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement awards are given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth.

The Steamboat Springs High School (ninth through 12th grades) has about 650 students.

The high school has a rotating block schedule in which students attend each class for 95 minutes every other day. With a teaching staff of 57, class size varies from eight to 33 students.

Steamboat Mountain School

The Steamboat Mountain School, formerly known as The Lowell Whiteman School, (9-12, private) is a coed boarding school, well known for its intense college-preparatory classes and helping prepare students for education at a higher level.

The school employs dynamic,

highly competent teachers and staff who push students to strive for their best in the classroom, in the mountains and around the globe. The curriculum challenges students to think critically and creatively while preparing them for success in college and in life. The Global Immersion Studies program gives students the invaluable opportunity to become a citizen of the world. The Lowell Whiteman Experience asks students to be scholars, citizens, explorers and leaders.

“The Global Immersion Studies program allows our students to gain a deep understanding of their role as global citizens,” Director of Admissions Marta Miskolczy says. “While traveling, the students interact with the people in local communities and learn about the region’s history and the culture which they then incorporate into their own experiences. Through our new Sustainable Agriculture Program, students connect with their environment through our food system by building and maintaining a greenhouse for composting and growing.”

cmc: A college in the mountAins

New academic and student center, bachelor’s programs driving 40 percent increase in enrollment With a slew of recent improvements and new programming as well as fall 2014 applicants up 40 percent from the preceding year, Steamboat Springs’ Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus is quietly becoming one of the top mountain colleges in the Rockies.

“Everything we’ve done makes our campus more collegiate,” Dean of Student Affairs Brian Hoza says. “It augments what we can do for our students and the community.”

The college recently introduced two four-year bachelor’s degrees — a Bachelor of Arts in sustainability studies and a Bachelor of Science in business administration — both offered at its Steamboat campus. In 2014, it approved adding a Bachelor of Science in nursing, a hybrid (mostly distance learning and a small amount in person) degree based at its Glenwood Springs and Breckenridge campuses. Working RNs

throughout the CMC service area and beyond can enroll.

In 2012, CMC opened its new $18 million, 60,000-squarefoot academic and student center overlooking downtown Steamboat, housing administrative offices, classrooms, auditorium, cafeteria and more. In 2013, it finished building a secondary access road to the college as a final piece of the construction.

Combine this with new course offerings in everything from resort management and hospitality to sustainability studies and culinary programs and it’s truly a cornerstone of the community.

Enrollment is growing as well as its accolades. In 2012-13, the college had 20,436 students enrolled across its 11 locations, including 2,492 students in Steamboat. That same year it was named by www.cnnmoney. com as one of the nation’s Top 20 Community Colleges in achiev-

ing student success. In 2013 and 2014, the U.S. Department of Education ranked CMC the country’s third most affordable public college offering bachelor’s degrees. In 2014, the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program named it one of the nation’s top 150 community colleges, allowing CMC to compete for the 2015 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.

Per-credit-hour costs for the 300- and 400-level baccalaureate classes are $99 for in-district

students, $205 for students living outside the district but within the college’s service area (Grand, Jackson and Chaffee counties), $212 for in-state/out-of-district students and $429 for out-of-state students. For 100- and 200-level classes, tuition per credit hour is $57 for in district, $97 for in service area, $100.50 for in state and $317 for out of state.

Tuition for upper-level Bachelor of Science nursing students is an additional $40 per credit hour.

yvmc enters pArtnership With mAyo clinic In a much-heralded affiliation bringing even better medical care to Steamboat Springs, in March 2014, the Yampa Valley Medical Center entered into a new partnership with the Mayo Clinic, giving local physicians the ability to consult with the clinic’s specialists across the country. YVMC is the second Colorado hospital to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network after Aspen Valley Hospital joined in 2013.

“We couldn’t be more proud to have this relationship,” hospital CEO Frank May says. “This elevates our game and lets us offer another level of care.”

The partnership will help local patients receive better quality care and even eliminate having to travel long distances to see certain specialists. Local physicians in the Mayo Clinic Care Network also will have access to AskMayoExpert, an online medical reference tool.

While the partnership will be another tool for physicians, it still will be up to patients and their doctors to decide the best path of care. The cost of the contract would be absorbed in the hospital’s budget, without resulting in any signifi-

movetoSteamboat.com

cant price changes for patients to help cover costs of the new partnership.

The Mayo Clinic Care Network was launched in 2011 and now includes 26 hospitals of varying sizes in 12 states as well as Puerto Rico and Mexico. The hospitals undergo a rigorous evaluation in order to qualify for the Mayo Clinic Care Network, with the YVMC affiliation process taking 18 months. Mayo employs more than 4,000 staff physicians

and scientists nationwide.

“We’re delighted to be collaborating with the medical center,” Mayo Clinic Vice President Wyatt Decker says. “With all the changes in health care, there’s a fair amount of consolidation of health care organizations, but we decided to take a different path. Our strategy is to share our knowledge to provide higher levels of care to broader groups of people.”

yvmc opens gloriA gossArd BreAst heAlth center Yampa Valley Medical Center has launched the new Gloria Gossard Breast Health Center to make it easier and more convenient for women to get screened and receive care.

“We hope it will increase awareness and increase the number of women who choose to get screened,” says the center’s Director Dr. Terese Kaske. “The hope is to find nothing, but screenings can help find cancer earlier and lead to far better outlooks for patients.

The new breast health center features a comfortable, spa-like atmosphere for patients and comes with such technology enhancements as better breast MRI capabilities, a Giotto Stereotactic mammography machine and a vacuum-assisted biopsy machine. Hospital officials maintain the new technology will allow more patients to get the care they need here in the Yampa Valley instead of driving to the Front Range.

The center also will have a breast health navigation program in which patients will be guided through all aspects of care. “It’s a way to provide more services,” says Kaske, who brings to YVMC more than 22 years of experience in breast health and radiology.

Made possible by a donation from late Steamboat philanthropist Gloria Gossard, the new breast health center opened in April 2014 in the medical office building adjacent to the hospital. The long-term plan is to establish it in part of what previously was the Doak Walker Care Center.

Culture, Arts & Community chief theAter Just two years into its resurrection as a performing arts and cultural venue, downtown’s Chief Theater continues to bolster the arts, culture and entertainment scene in Steamboat Springs.

The movie theater, built in 1926, was purchased by the nonprofit Friends of the Chief for $1.45 million in October 2012 and opened its doors to the main theater in May 2013.

New Executive Director Scott Parker has since taken the reins and galloped to a string of successes, including sold-out shows by such musicians such as the Wood Brothers, Uncle Lucius, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen, Tony Furtado and Todd Park Mohr, of Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

The theater also has caught on with other touring musicians,

community drama, documentary screenings and shows by musicians in residence.

Parker estimates that more than 10,000 people came through the 135-seat theater’s doors last winter alone. “One of my goals is to be there for every facet of the community, from the Arts Council’s annual Cabaret to other local productions and world-class music acts. Our films have also been hugely successful.”

A number of shows have been sold out, illustrating the pent-up need for such a performing arts venue all the more. “It’s truly something that people needed here,” Friends of the Chief board President Alice Klauzer says. “The key to its success has been its great diversity of events.”

Steamboat Springs earned its name from early pioneers for the “chugging” sound of its springs, and you can experience them yourself in the area’s natural pools (there are approximately 150 springs in the region).

The nonprofit Old Town Hot Springs at Third Street and Lincoln Avenue downtown, which recently underwent a $5 million expansion, is looking to enhance its offerings yet again. It recently submitted a proposal to the city for a $3 million expansion that would add another 10,000 square feet of recreation facilities to its current 19,000-square-foot building.

The world-class facility currently sees more than 70,000 visitors per year and has 5,000 annual members, all enjoying three spa pools, a large hot pool with a climbing wall, two kiddie pools, a lap pool, two waterslides, a full fitness center with exercise classes and equipment, a snack bar and three massage rooms. “It’s been a community asset and gathering place since the late 1880s when the first small bathhouse was built,” Executive Director Pat Carney says. “It’s truly one of town’s best and most unique amenities.”

For a more rustic setting, Strawberry Park Hot Springs, just 7 miles out of town, also is open year-round, letting you experience the healing powers of its hot springs just as the Utes once did.

A variety of different temperature pools, complete with shouldercaressing waterfalls, are situated right beside a creek you can plunge into to cool off, with cabins and camping spaces available for rental. The springs also offer a full array of massage services to further relax sore muscles from a day on the slopes.

Outdoor Business outdoor Businesses shine in steAmBoAt With an educated workforce, easy airport access and product-testing grounds right out the office door, Steamboat is a hotbed for outdoor businesses. The following are a few whose products you’ll likely see on local trails, slopes and waterways.

Big Agnes

Founded in 2000, Big Agnes is an award-winning tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad manufacturer headquartered downtown. In 14 short years, it’s won multiple Editor’s Choice awards from national magazines and has grown to harbor more than 600 North American retailers, including EMS and REI, where it has become the co-op’s No. 1 outsourced tent brand. Employing nearly 40 people locally, the company also is in 10 international markets throughout Asia and Europe. “Steamboat is a great place to be based,” says co-founder Bill Gamber, whose company recently acquired a new warehouse facility on the city’s west side. “You couldn’t ask for a better place to test our gear.”

BoA

Founded in 1998 by Gary Hammerslag, Boa Technology builds dialed, reel and steel cable closure systems for tightening everything from recreational footwear to medical supplies.

The system can be found on a third of the world’s snowboard boots as well as 100 brands in more than 15 categories. The company recently received an investment influx from Glenbrook Consumer Partners, which will help it launch deeper into the medical industry. “Boa exemplifies all the elements we seek in a partner, with a highly differentiated product offering, scalable business model, large market opportunity and an extremely talented team,” Glenbrook managing partner Peter Breck says.

With offices in Steamboat and Denver, Boa recently moved into a new 23,000-square-foot complex in Denver, with plans to add to its 70-employee workforce.

hAlA geAr

cogmA BikeWeAr

Like any good business, Cogma Bikewear is fueled by passion — a passion for biking. Founders Karen Tremaine and Clint Ball began their adventure as bike apparel makers in November 2011. Both competitive racers, their love for the sport has enabled them to produce comfortable and “slightly rebellious designs” that fit cycling’s unique style. Plus, they have the perfect testing grounds right outside their back door. “Ours is a lifestyle brand,” says Ball, adding that the company video-conferences with its suppliers and contractors on the West Coast. “The foundation we build from is that we actually live the mountain town lifestyle. Product ideas come from our daily experiences and input from friends. We get to play and work outside in our backyard every day. We feel lucky to be here.”

creek compAny

In 1982, Steamboat locals Dave Gowdy and Chris Timmerman invented the Quick Float to inflate float tubes for fishing in high Alpine lakes. In 1986, they added the open-front float tube U-Boat to its offerings. Recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, Creek Company is now a market leader in the high-end personal flotation craft category, manufacturing pontoon boats, float tubes, tackle bags, flyfishing accessories and hunting and camping accessories. “Having our business located in Steamboat has been a great inspiration for all we do,” says Gowdy, whose office is just a fly-cast away from the Yampa River.

“When it comes to R&D, we can test our product in a matter of minutes.”

Design. Adventure. Better. That’s the premise behind local stand-up paddleboard company Hala Gear, founded in Steamboat Springs in 2010. The company is quickly standing out in the crowd for its innovative line of inflatable SUPs and accessories, testing its watery wares daily on the Yampa River.

“The idea was simple,” founder Peter Hall says. “We wanted to make a better paddleboard that was stable and performed well.” Its six-shape collection is fast taking the SUP world by storm. The company also debuted the patent-pending Butterknife paddle, designed as double-bladed kayak and conventional SUP paddle. Hall manufactures the boards overseas, with distribution centers in Steamboat, Seattle and California. “They’re stable enough that they’re perfect for everyone,” Hall says, “from grandparents to the younger generation.”

hog islAnd BoAtWorks

After earning its flotation certification from the U.S. Coast Guard, Hog Island Boat Works, based along the Yampa River, introduced the world’s first rotomolded drift boat to the fishing market in 2007. The company now produces a full line of rotomolded drift boats, available with trailer, anchor and other accessories as well as a new line of equally accessorized rotomolded, motorized skiffs. “Our design mantra has always been based on making performance rotomolded boats that can go anywhere,” founder Johnny St. John says.

“It’s great to be able to do it all out of Steamboat, where you can go wet a line during lunch break.”

Outdoor Business honey stinger

Big Agnes is only half of the company based in the little red house on Oak Street. Founded in 2002 by Big Agnes co-founder Bill Gamber, energy food company Honey Stinger has grown to 40 local employees and is making waves around the world.

While the company’s original line of honey-based energy gels arose as a natural, long-lasting energy source for endurance athletes, it now also produces bars, chews, waffles and gels.

The company’s best seller, the Stinger Waffle, improves upon the popular stroopwafel racers use in Europe. The company is on track to double its sales in 2015, Marketing Director Len Zanni says. “It’s another great company to be based in Steamboat,” Gamber says. “We use the product every day.”

kent eriksen cycles

Kent Eriksen, 58, played a pivotable role in introducing mountain biking to the country and Steamboat Springs.

Owning bike shop Sore Saddle Cyclery in the 1970s, he founded Moots in 1981 and was elected into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1996. An endless tinkerer, he later founded Kent Eriksen Cycles downtown, also specializing in titanium bikes. His company recently won the Best Titanium Construction award for the fifth year in a row at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. The company produces as many as 200 custom cycles per year. “Steamboat is already a special place to live, and its wealth of biking options make it even better,” Eriksen says. “It’s easy to balance work and fun in a town with so many outdoor activities available.”

point6

Founded by Peter and Patty Duke, who started sock giant SmartWool in 1994, Point6 is another local company putting Steamboat on the world’s sock map. The company uses merino wool fibers combined with state-of-theart spinning and knitting techniques to create soft merino products built for optimal comfort and performance.

It currently has about 15 employees working out of its Steamboat headquarters, serving more than 800 retailers and 20 distributors in 15 countries.

moots

Founded in Steamboat in 1981, Moots Cycles has been hand-building titanium road, mountain and cross bikes locally for more than three decades, with a staff that lives and breathes cycling. “We’re fortunate to be surrounded by such great riding,” Marketing Manager Jon Cariveau says. “It inspires all of us personally and professionally.”

Moots recently won top honors at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show for its new Trail Maintenance Bike and was recently selected as a Colorado Company to Watch by the State Office of Economic Development. The company sponsors numerous community and industry advocacy movements, from local trail work days to cycling teams. “We strive to lead the way in building the most innovative high-performance titanium bikes in the industry,” Cariveau says.

“We’re proud of them, our team and the town we call home.”

poWerice

One of Steamboat’s newest outdoor companies, PowerICE is a frozen, hydrating ice bar designed to enhance performance by cooling core body temperature while replenishing lost electrolytes. “It helps athletes recover more quickly,” Director of Sales Blair McNamara says. No one knows this better than six-time local Olympic Nordic combined skier Todd Lodwick, who serves as a company spokesman.

“It works,” he says. “And I’m pretty selective about how I replenish my electrolytes.” An all-natural 1.7-ounce bar contains 30 calories and no high fructose corn syrup, stimulants, artificial colors or artificial flavors. Now entering the medical field, as well, the product is available in more than 600 grocery outlets nationwide and hundreds of retail locations. In 2014, it received a $515,901 tax credit from Colorado’s Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit program for creating jobs in Steamboat Springs.

smArtWool

Based out of the old Steamboat Springs Airport building and now celebrating its 20th anniversary, SmartWool is Steamboat’s leading outdoor brand. Its merino wool apparel brand was born on a simple belief: keeping feet comfortable on the slopes.

It’s since expanded that concept into a complete apparel line, all made from soft and high-performance New Zealand merino wool. Owned by VF Corp., the company has received multiple Editor’s Choice magazine awards and continues to lead the merino wool sock and apparel market.

Its Steamboat headquarters employs 75 people of a total of 120 worldwide. Its more than 400 sock and apparel products — which use enough yarn each year to circle the Earth 500 times — enjoy worldwide distribution through more than 6,000 retailers.

tAlon grips

While Steamboat’s entrepreneurial spirit is exploding, one company is setting its sights on products built for combustion.

TALON Grips targets law enforcement officers and other gun users desiring enhanced grip for their firearms. President Mike Morris runs the company with his wife, Gillian, progressing from a basement operation in 2012 to now having five employees with 75 U.S. retailers and three international distributors.

Offering 126 gun model grips in two textures, business is, well, booming.

“We never could have imagined it would grow so quickly,” says Morris, whose company is expanding into iPhone grips, as well. “Steamboat’s a great place to be based. We’d rather live in the mountains and visit the city, and have a few hours of outdoor recreation every day, than live in the city and use our vacation to do these things. The mountain lifestyle and community are hard to beat.”
