Welcome

Calling Steamboat home of Steamboat Springs and our surrounding towns. Small-town values reign and open space is highly valued — as evidenced by development rights being secured to preserve agricultural space throughout the valley. On the education front, Steamboat’s schools continue to earn top marks and are “accredited with distinction.”

Even better than visiting Ski Town USA® is calling it home.

Whether you are looking to move your family, relocate a business or start a business of your own here, the information in this guide will point you in the right direction.

Community is at the heart

MovetoSteamboat.com

Although tourism is a mainstay of the local economy, the community has created a diverse economic base. With strong high-speed Internet capabilities and flights servicing the Steamboat/Hayden airport, location-neutral businesses can serve customers globally while enjoying the Steamboat Springs mountain lifestyle.

The community also has a state-of-the-art medical center, a

community college with $23 million in new additions, a highly skilled labor pool, numerous outdoor recreational manufacturers, and entrepreneurial support through the Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center at Colorado Mountain College.

Boa, SmartWool Earn Outside Magazine’s ‘Best Places to Work’ List Springs Airport.

Outside announced its 30 best places to work in its September issue, along with “70 more best places to work,” bringing the local companies into the fold.

Like Boa, SmartWool, which has more than 10,000 retailer outlets in 35 countries, awards activity passes to its 83 local employees. They are encouraged to take frequent “product testing” outings that may involve bikes rides, ski days and weekend overnights. It offers pre-season bike tuneups for employees, organizes group employee rides on Fridays and offers incentives to bike commuters. It also provides as many as 40 hours of paid time per year for volunteering at nonprofits. (Last year, its employees accumulated more than 1,500 hours of such volunteer time.)

Business

Boa Technology, founded by Steamboat resident Gary Hammerslag in the 1990s, makes cable-lacing systems for a wide variety of athletic footwear, from running and golf shoes to snowboard boots. Boa has continued to expand in recent years and is now launching a new medical devices product line.

Yampa Street Revitalization Move to Steamboat Springs and you might soon have a vibrant, waterfront downtown pedestrian zone to stroll in your spare time. This summer, a team of urban planners and developers came to town to help the city plan for its long-anticipated goal of transforming Yampa Street into a pedestrian corridor.

Association recently purchasing a new headquarters site and the city pursuing a similar path for its police and fire stations on Yampa Street, the potential for new investment along the river looks greater than ever. The YVEA move frees up a valuable chunk of downtown real estate considered essential to such redevelopment.

Since the late 1980s, city officials have mulled the idea of turning Yampa Street into a pedestrian-friendly commercial district improving its link to the Yampa River and recreational facilities at nearby Howelsen Hill. The team tasked with helping came from the Colorado Chapter of the Urban Land Institute, bringing experience gained on projects from Denver’s Cherry Creek North to the town of Crested Butte. At the end of the summer, they returned with recommendations on how to reinvigorate Yampa Street and fund the improvements.

“It’s an amazing opportunity,” Gibbs says. “A lot of towns have a river running through them, but few have a park like Howelsen Hill and Emerald Mountain, complete with ski jumps and mountain bike trails on the edge of the downtown.” He adds that the community wants to “preserve the character” of the area, as well.

Steamboat Springs Planning Director Tyler Gibbs said that with downtown’s Yampa Valley Electric MovetoSteamboat.com

The development also would send a signal to the investment community that the city is proactive and looking to the future, he adds. “Great communities look for these types of opportunities,” he says. “We’re moving forward and are excited about it.”

Building & Steamboat Ski Area Unveils $10 Million Base Area Improvement Improvements usher in resort’s 50th Anniversary Gurgling waterfalls and pools for kids to play in. A new concert stage. A walkway along the resort’s base. These improvements and more at the base of Steamboat Ski Area were unveiled this summer as part of a $10 million renovation plan to revitalize the resort’s base area in a publicprivate partnership.

“It looks incredible,” says Steve Frasier, co-chairman of the Urban Renewal Area Advisory Committee, which helped facilitate the 8 | move to Steamboat | 2013

project. “It’s really opened up the area for everyone to enjoy.”

As well as enticing people to stroll and splash by the creek, the improvements also have ushered in a new era of family-friendly activities and performances, including plays, dances and hosting acts in the local Free Summer Concert Series.

Construction on the new promenade area, where Burgess Creek had run beneath the ski trails in

a culvert for 45 years, started in 2007. The work was financed from bond proceeds backed by the city’s tax increment financing, which captures growth in property taxes at the base of the ski area.

“With the unveiling of the promenade at the ski resort base, the mountain village looks to leverage opportunities around this tremendous community asset,” says Katie Brown, from Mountain Village Partnership, a business or-

ganization created to encourage base area visitation.

With the project’s completion, members of the Urban Renewal Area Advisory Committee also are discussing ways to best spend an additional $1.26 million available for public improvement projects in the area, including landscaping at the Mount Werner Circle roundabout, signage and a new entry feature.

Olympians Call Steamboat Springs Home Business & Economy Downtown Gets Walk of Olympians The London Games might be behind us, but the Olympic spirit is still thriving in downtown Steamboat Springs.

Sponsored by Mainstreet Steamboat Springs, the town’s Walk of Olympians project honors local Olympians who have lived or trained in the Yampa Valley. So far, 11 18-inch-by-18-inch bronze plaques have been set into sidewalk brick downtown, letting you take a walking tour of Steamboat’s Olympic heritage. The plaques can be found on the corner of Fifth and Yampa streets, Seventh and Yampa streets and in front of Allen’s Clothing on Lincoln Avenue.

“We’ve gotten great comments on it,” says Mainstreet Steamboat Springs' Tracy Barnett, adding that eventually she hopes to honor all of Steamboat’s Olympians, which stands at 88 and counting. The only rule is that the athletes must be retired.

The plaques — which so far honor Olympians Billy Kidd, Todd Wilson, Buddy, Loris and Skeeter

Werner, Shannon Dunn, Scott Berry, Moose Barrows, Gordy Wren, Nelson Carmichael and Caroline Lalive — feature a head and action shot along with the athlete’s Olympic accomplishments. “It’s an honor,” says Wilson, the Nordic director for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. “It’s just another sign of how this community embraces athletics and its Olympians.”

Continuing the project, adds Barnett, should be easy given the way the community embraces its Olympic history. It should also make for a great walking tour showcasing the stories of Steamboat’s best athletes.

Wilson says he hopes the plaques will help pass along the values that helped carry him to his Olympic dream. “I’ve never been comfortable being put on a pedestal, but if I’m an example of what can be accomplished through hard work, that’s great,” he says. “I’m really proud.”

Steamboat: A Breeding Ground for Olympians In Greek mythology the Twelve Olympians resided atop Mount Olympus. Today’s Olympians reside in Steamboat Springs.

Hang your hat in the Yampa Valley and chances are your neighbor might have competed on the world’s biggest stage.

From John Steele becoming the town’s first Olympian in 1932 in Lake Placid, N.Y., to the past Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, where local Nordic combined skiers brought home seven medals, Steamboat has ties to more Olympic athletes than nearly any other town in the world — 88, to be precise, with 129 Olympic appearances, according to the Tread of Pioneers Museum. You’re as likely to brush MovetoSteamboat.com

elbows with them at Howelsen Hill downtown, where many of them train with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, as you are at the hot springs, grocery store or gondola line.

“Steamboat has an Olympic tradition that is hard to rival,” says hometown hero Johnny Spillane, who brought three silver medals home from Vancouver in Nordic combined. “The town has created an atmosphere that breeds Olympic-quality competitors, and every day our athletes get better and better. Some towns like baseball or football, but Steamboat nurtures Olympians.”

Depending on how you count — whether someone trained

here, moved here after an Olympic appearance or was born and raised here — the list can vary. But it defies comprehension nonetheless, especially for a tiny mountain town of 10,000.

“Our list is as comprehensive and inclusive as we could make it,” says Tread of Pioneers Executive Director Candice Bannister, whose staff diligently keeps tabs on Olympians with ties to town.

“If they call Steamboat home now, used to live here when they were competing or grew up here, we include them.”

of half-pipe, aerial, moguls and cross competitions. They include everyone from homegrown Todd Lodwick, the first American skier to compete in five Games (which could be six by 2014) to Steamboat Ski Area’s Director of Skiing Billy Kidd. These connections owe themselves to the Yampa Valley headquartering the Winter Sports Club, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013.

“We’re known as Ski Town USA for a reason,” says the club’s Executive Director Rick DeVos, who has eight Olympians on staff and five more as volunteers.

“Steamboat is a true winter town environment where the Olympic dream actually can come true.”

The annual celebration includes a variety of events that embrace Steamboat’s Western and winter sport heritage, including ski jumping competitions, a diamond hitch parade, fireworks, street events coordinated by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association (including the popular horse-

pulled ski races), the Lighted Man and the world’s only high school marching band on skis. It was rated one of the top 10 winter carnivals in the world by National Geographic and has appeared on Good Morning America.

The Winter Sports Club, which has ties to more than 88 Olympians, also celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013, further cementing Steamboat’s long-running snow sports heritage.

Transportation Resort Announces New Flights From LA, joining 7 other major airports Getting up and over the Rockies to Steamboat is getting easier than ever, especially for those coming from Down Under.

Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. recently announced new direct ski season flights from Yampa Valley Regional Airport to Los Angeles International Airport with roundtrips on a 66-passenger jet Saturdays and Sundays beginning Dec. 22.

The resort’s winter nonstop flight program now offers nonstop jet air service from eight major airports on American, Delta and United Airlines into Yampa Valley Regional Airport for the 2012-13 season.

“As we gear up for the resort’s 50th anniversary season, we’ve aggressively worked with

the airlines to provide convenient access into Steamboat,” says Rob Perlman, the resort’s senior vice president of sales and marketing.

Relishing the opening of a new air portal to the West Coast, Perlman adds that the LA flight’s timing was chosen to allow easy connections for the growing number of Australian travelers coming to Steamboat, which now represent nearly half of all international visitors.

“We’ve wanted to open up the West, and this is an opportunity to do that with our partners at United Airlines,” Perlman says. “International travelers, particularly from Australia, will experience convenient one-stop connections in both directions.”

Perlman adds that eliminating the need to fly to Denver before connecting to Steamboat makes a big difference for international travelers. Rod Hanna — of the Local Marketing District, that oversees expenditure of special tax revenues devoted to the resort’s flight program — says Steamboat long has tried to penetrate the Southern California market but found it hard to compete in the expensive advertising market of Los Angeles.

Things have changed with the advent of social media, he says.

California markets and travelers as far north as Oregon and Washington also will be a key factor in filling the 66-passenger jet.

Outdoor Businesses

Perlman agrees. “We can target areas like Hermosa Beach very cost effectively with a Google campaign that geo targets by zip code,” he says.

“I think there’s an affinity there,” says Perlman, who spent four years as director of sales and marketing at California’s Mammoth Mountain. “People there think of their local resorts as a weekend getaway. Our competition for longer trips is Utah. But as a result of our stateof-the-art airport facility and a direct flight program built upon convenience and a variety of options, Steamboat’s nonstop flight system is truly a key differentiator against other winter destinations.”

Technology Ignite Steamboat Fosters Interaction Among Local Entrepreneurs other people I can connect with,’” says O’Hare.

Location-neutral employees, by definition, can work anywhere they choose. Providing a mechanism for them to create and innovate where they live is the founding principle of Ignite Steamboat. The group gained momentum after it persuaded noteworthy entrepreneurs from across the country to speak to its members via Skype — the backbone of many location-neutral businesses. O’Hare says broadband also helps his network put on speaker programs and attract new members and location-neutral businesses to the Yampa Valley.

Business researcher Noreen Moore says Ignite Steamboat provides a natural step for entrepreneurs who moved here for the lifestyle but want to mingle with like-minded people. “It’s another watering hole,” she says. “They want to find more people like themselves.”

It also provides a built-in entrepreneurial community, adds O’Hare. “It

elevates Steamboat as a better place for second-time entrepreneurs,” he says.

But Moore says it’s lifestyle more than broadband that’s the deciding factor for most entrepreneurs looking to relocate to Steamboat. “Actual broadband capacity isn’t something that attracts or repels them,” she says.

“They want a sense of community, good schools and a safe place to raise children.”

Once they find one another through groups like Ignite Steamboat, they can collaborate on things like broadband and airline travel, Moore adds.

Today, the group’s membership tops 230 people, enough to spur second-time-around entrepreneurs who already have cashed out of their first ventures, O’Hare says. “I know of one individual who just moved here and another who is coming soon,” he says. “There’s a thriving entrepreneurial spirit in this valley, and this is a great way to foster it.”

Ignite Steamboat is igniting local entrepreneurs into action.

If you’re a lone eagle worker in Steamboat Springs, you’re not alone. According to local research group Yampa Valley Data Partners, the $54 million in annual income generated by locals working for location-neutral businesses exceeds the annual payroll of the local hospitality industry’s $52 million.

While it can be lonely toiling in the at-home trenches, now there’s a group doing something about it. Jay

O’Hare, founder of tech consulting business Altera Marketing Group, along with fellow entrepreneur Jens Owen, started local networking group Ignite Steamboat to connect employees of location-neutral businesses on the premise that putting creative people together can lead to great things.

“I could see things going on outside Steamboat, and I felt a bit isolated. I thought, ‘There must be

Technology Tech Spotlight: Sensor Solutions The business with the most elite client list in town is likely one you’ve never heard of.

Tucked away in a west Steamboat industrial park with barely a sign to announce its presence, Sensor Solutions’ client list includes the likes of Chrysler, John Deere and Caterpillar, all of which depend on its magnetic sensors to help their products operate properly. Sensor’s products also can be found on U.S. Navy nuclear submarines and the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that delivered the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station in May. “We’ve lost some constructionrelated business, but our business in biomedical has tripled,” company President Dave Lorenzen says.

Lorenzen started his company in Summit County in the late 1990s and moved it to Steamboat in 2005. The company occupies about 6,000 square feet of space in Steamboat, which Lorenzen says is about the right size for its 14 employees, including five engineers.

Sensor Solutions’ niche is designing and building unique sensors and delivering them quickly.

By remaining small — and filling a niche below giant companies like Honeywell— it can remain nimble and responsive to client requests.

“Orders of 10,000 to 20,000 sensors are a good number for us,” Lorenzen says.

The devices are designed to provide feedback about the move-

metal. The result: the ability to track movement, direction, speed and penetration of metal parts in various kinds of machinery.

Its practical applications are many and varied. The sensor can tell a microchip or control board in a machine whether a valve has closed properly. John Deere uses a

custom sensor to monitor the rate at which liquid fertilizer is being applied to a field. At Chrysler, they play a role in the assembly line of auto and truck transmissions. Another company uses them in hybrid delivery vehicles to manage demands for power from gasoline

engines to electric.

Lorenzen adds that the availability of general aviation at Steamboat Springs Airport and the UPS hub are critical to the company’s location in Steamboat (some clients have even dispatched aircraft to Steamboat to fetch the sensors to keep their own manufacturing systems operating).

Despite the high-tech level of detail involved, Lorenzen promotes a relaxed, Steamboat-style working atmosphere. T-shirts, shorts and flip-flops are the uniform, and the ski rack by the front door encourages employees to take advantage of powder mornings.

“That’s unusual in the high-tech industry, but I’ve found it puts your employees in a good place mentally,” Lorenzen says, adding that the availability of cross-country ski trails, powder runs and good bike shops are important to a business adapted to the Steamboat lifestyle. “They’re out there living life, they're happy, and I don’t have to crack the whip. It’s been a recipe for success.”

Estimated number of location-neutral employees in Routt County: 1,500

· The fastest growing industry sector in Routt County’s economy is the professional, scientific and technical services sector.

· According to the 1990 U.S. Census, only 3 percent of Routt County residents worked from home. By the 2010 Census, that percentage has grown to 12 percent. It is estimated that about 1,500 to 1,800 individuals work from their place of residency. The expansion of broadband capabilities in the Yampa Valley is making this possible.

· Broadband speeds are rapidly increasing in the Yampa Valley. Download speeds of 100 megabytes per second and upload speeds of 20 megabytes per second are available at competitive prices similar to the pricing for such services found in metropolitan areas. · A strategic goal of the Routt County Economic Development Council during the next three years is that 95 percent of the households in Routt County have access to broadband speeds that are equal to that found in downtown Denver. · There are five Internet service providers, three of which are wireless.

Neighborhoods Move to Steamboat and you’ll relocate to a town that puts the neighbor back in neighborhoods.

From higher-end homes along Fish Creek and the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club in The Sanctuary to quaint Victorians dotting Old Town and family-affordable options west of town in Silver Spur and Steamboat II, cups of sugar are just a door knock away no matter where you settle down.

For proximity to the mountain, buyers can choose from townhomes, condos or homes near the resort or a variety of single-family homes in Whistler and the Fish Creek Falls Road neighborhood. 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-totown homes downtown, some old and some new (including a few geo-thermally heated homes).

homes and working ranches in Strawberry Park and beyond as well as those in the aptly named Riverside and Tree Haus neighborhoods.

In all, more than 20 distinct neighborhoods lie scattered across Steamboat, each one offering its own charm.

“Steamboat’s a bit of an anomaly,” says Ulrich Salzgeber of Buyer’s Resource. “At most ski resorts, the higherdollar-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.

“Steamboat definitely has a variety of great options. What separates us from other resorts is that the people who live here, live here. It’s not all just about the mountain. Steamboat has a lot of other attractive features, foremost of which is its community.”

Real Estate, Economy on the Rebound The local economy and real estate market are rebounding like a skier coming back up out of a powder turn, maintain those watching trends in both categories.

On the economic front, several key indicators point to a continued recovery for Routt County, with gross retail sales and unemployment numbers expected to improve through the rest of 2012 and into 2013. Scott Ford, a local economic analyst and an adviser for Yampa Valley Data Partners, says the group’s most recent forecast gives reason for optimism.

poll, which shows steady gains in daily spending. Consumer confidence also continues a slow upward climb, though Ford cautions that Routt County doesn’t follow national trends because of seasonality and tourism.

real estate bottom has been reached and a recovery is slowly occurring,” the forecast reads, adding that the later part of 2012 could represent the best value in real estate the valley has seen since 1981 and 1982.

Ford says one of the region’s most reliable data tools is the economic stress indicator, which analyzes the total local workforce and the number of jobs from year to year. An indicator of “zero” means equilibrium between the number of jobs and the availability of workers to fill them. A positive number indicates decreasing unemployment. But Ford said the number can “get too positive.”

On the flip side, Ford expects gross retail sales to continue to rise, matching June’s 6.3 percent increase. Much of that optimism is based on the national consumer spending MovetoSteamboat.com

Realtor Doug Labor, of Buyer’s Resource Real Estate, also has favorable statistics to share. Through June 2012, he says, dollar volume through the Steamboat Springs Multiple Listing Service was $167.3 million, the sixth highest ever, comparing to $143.3 million at the same time in 2011.

And with average sales prices down, high-end sales play a significant role in the overall market.

It’s natural to compare dollar volume through June to Steamboat’s all-time benchmark of $519.8 million set in the first six months of 2007. But only the five years from 2004 to 2008 achieved higher first-half numbers than 2012.

“We’re just barely moving, but it’s there,” Ford says, referring to economic indicators like consumer confidence, consumer spending and unemployment.

For example, an economic stress indicator above 0.025 means there aren’t enough workers to fill available jobs.

In the second quarter of 2012, Routt County’s economic stress indicator came in at 0.019, meaning labor shortages could be on the horizon. “It means it will be harder for employers to find staff, and they’ll have to pay more,” Ford says. “This lifts household incomes but also crunches down the margins in those particular business sectors.”

gence, as evidenced by the summer’s $1.52 million sale of a luxury condominium in One Steamboat Place at the base of Steamboat Ski Area.

The absorption rate also plays an important role, he adds. While the number of listings at the end of June (1,868) was the fourth highest ever recorded, that number is down 8 percent from 2011, and transactions (379) were up 38 percent from 2011. Meanwhile, the average price for real estate sold in the first two quarters ($441,577) was down 16 percent from 2011 and down just $14,000 from the five higher first-half years of 2004 to 2008.

the real estate market also is on the rise. Yampa Valley Data Partners shows that while median home prices remain 28 percent below their peak of October 2008, they may have stabilized. In spring 2012, the median listing price was $487,500, an increase of 6 percent compared with spring 2011.

The number of homes for sale also is decreasing, as is the number of homes entering the foreclosure process. “The

past year,” says Cam Boyd, broker/owner for Prudential Steamboat Realty. “The market is improving from the bottom up, which is what you would expect, so the lower end of the market is starting to get tight.

The upper end market is still slow, and there are some great deals but as the market continues to improve, we’ll start seeing that inventory decrease, as well.”

The high-end vacation home segment also is showing resur-

“I give more weight to transactions and absorption rate than to high-end sales,” Labor says.

And Ford cautions that it’s not prudent to use the highmark years of 2006 to 2007 as a barometer. “Things are improving,” he says, adding that Steamboat’s diversified economy filled with locationneutral business positions it well moving forward. “You just can’t look at late 2006 and 2007 as the normal time. Our basis of comparison shouldn’t be Mount Everest.”

Construction on the $18 million facility, which houses administrative offices, classrooms and more, started in June 2011. Work was aided by a mild winter that put construction ahead of schedule.

The college also realigned 12th Street to build a secondary access road to the college.

The new building follows last year’s introduction of a new fouryear bachelor’s degree program offered at the campus. Enrollment in the new baccalaureate program grew to 41 students this spring, with interest continuing to grow.

The college plans to add a full-time sustainability studies faculty member this year and double its baccalaureate course offerings.

From its humble beginnings on the deck of an athletic club to its current award-winning Strings Music Pavilion, Strings Music Festival celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012.

“We’ve reached this mark through hard work, great music and an unbelievably supportive community,” says Strings Marketing Director Cristin Frey.

The organization continues to bring top acts to Steamboat every year, from Grammy-award-winning musicians to New York Metropolitan Opera singers and world-class orchestra performers.

“This year was extra special because we had a lot of great programs and performances to help us celebrate,” Frey says. “We owe a lot of our success to the support of the Steamboat community.”

Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp Turns 100

It’s been ten decades since Charlotte Perry and Portia Mansfield fulfilled their dreams of creating a theater and dance camp in the mountains. A hundred years after their founding of the school in 1913 in Strawberry Park, Perry-Mansfield is recognized as the oldest, continuously operating performing arts school and camp in the nation.

Throughout the years, distinguished alumni, faculty and guest artists have passed through its

Alumni — who include the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Julie Harris and Lee Remick — are performing with Ballet Hispanico, Battleworks Dance Co., Munich Ballet, the Paul Taylor Dance Co., Nederlands Dans Theater, on Broadway and on television.

Highlighting this year’s milestone, the organization hosted two performances of “The Marriage of Figaro” at its 76-acre facility’s Julie Harris Theater.

Emerald City Opera Turns 10

Emerald City Opera was founded in Steamboat Springs in 2002 by opera singer Keri Rusthoi, who was tired of traveling to Europe for performances. So she brought “The Magic Flute” performance to the Yampa Valley and the program has been thriving ever since.

“There are a lot of opera lovers here,” she says. “People are very excited about it.”

Emerald City Opera continues to host workshops for local singers, including its three-week Opera Artist Institute; awards scholarships to students to continue vocal study; and charms area audiences with its touring opera troupe, which this year performed “The Marriage of Figaro.” “The singers we get love coming to Steamboat to perform,” Rusthoi says. “This year’s cast was the best I’ve ever put together.”

Library and Community Center Steamboat Springs’ 33,000 square-foot Bud Werner Memorial Library went through a major $12.5 million renovation in 2009, making it a true showcase in the state. Overlooking the Yampa River downtown, the two-floor expansion — which received a silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council — includes dedicated spaces for children and teenagers, a coffee shop, large community and conference rooms, various artwork, a Library Hall for presentations and more.

Carrying more than 88,000 titles, the library is also on the cutting edge of technology, with 30 public computers, audio books downloadable to MP3 players, self-checkout counters (with fines payable by credit card), an electronic wand book stocking system, free wireless, access to the library's database subscriptions and additional cuttingedge features.

"The community has given themselves an incredible gift with this facility," president of the board Bob Matteo says.

The Steamboat Springs Community Center The $3.6 million, 8,400 square-foot Steamboat Springs Community Center is a crown jewel of the town, sitting alongside the Yampa River on a 2.3acre site adjacent to the Stock Bridge Transit Center west of downtown. With easy car, bus and bike access, it was the first building in Northwest Colorado to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifica-

tion and serves as a true meeting place for the community.

Primary users of the facility include the Routt County Council on Aging — which uses it for movie nights, exercise classes, lecture series and more — as well as the American Legion.

With a main community room capable of accommodating 382 people, the center also is open to the broader community for everything from wedding receptions to multimedia presentations.

New Performing Arts Venue Slated for Downtown The plan to transform the Chief Plaza Theater downtown into a single-stage performing arts center is coming closer to fruition.

Friends of the Chief recently held a public hearing as part of the final application for a $4 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture intended to promote economic development in rural areas. It’s a fixed-rate loan that spokesman Jim Cook MovetoSteamboat.com

estimates will come in at 4 percent with a 40-year amortization period.

The nonprofit group has proposed to convert the 1920s-era, four-screen theater in downtown Steamboat into a single-stage, 455-seat performing arts center.

The project is estimated to cost $7 million.

Cook says construction could

begin as soon as spring 2013 with completion in spring 2014.

Friends of the Chief also recently submitted a $23,000 feasibility study for the project, says Cook, adding that the group has spent about $200,000 on the project. A fundraising campaign will begin when Friends of the Chief closes on the theater, listed for sale at $2.9 million, which is expected to take place by Octo-

Technology

ber 2012.

Cook says Friends of the Chief may try to open up the stage for events after it closes on the theater, adding that such a move would give people an idea of what a renovated Chief could look like.

Steamboat Is Bike Town Long known as Ski Town USA, Steamboat Springs is working on a new moniker for summer.

With a world-class bike path, trail improvements, ride to work and school initiatives, BMX, pump and freeride options, a local race series, two bike manufacturers and more, the town’s Bike Town USA movement is rolling strong — enough that the League of American Bicyclists recently awarded Steamboat its Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community designation.

“Biking helps make Steamboat a year-round destination,” says

Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association president Tom Kern, who hosted national bike media members here this summer. “It’s an integral part of our community.”

The movement has hosted two nationally recognized Bike Summit meetings, produces the annual Steamboat Springs Bike Guide, and helped attract the USA Pro Cycling Challenge to town in 2011. “People now come here from around the country just to go biking,” says Steamboat Ski & Bike Kare owner Harry Martin.

Like skiers, these visitors represent an affluent demographic, enjoying a higher-than-average median household income of $59,000.

“Biking is huge here,” says Honey Stinger founder Bill Gamber, who recently brought Lance Armstrong in as a partner.

“There aren’t many communities this passionate about riding.”

This shows through in the town’s line-up of bike events and a seven-mile bike path through town to new signage and two marquee bike manufacturers, Kent Eriksen Cycles and

Moots, calling Steamboat home.

“Steamboat is all about outdoor recreation and biking is the summer anchor to this,” says Moots president Rob Mitchell. “We have the full breadth of riders here, from recreational to pros.”

The town’s access to riding, he adds, is what makes it unique. “Our access is exceptional, from Emerald Mountain downtown to great road loops and freeride trails,” he says.

“We’re covered in all areas. We have all the right ingredients.”

Steamboat Cycling Events Town Challenge Mountain Bike Series Steamboat’s seven-event Town Challenge Race Series offers 24 different categories, from pro/open and three age groups for various men’s and women’s divisions to kids and singlespeed. “It’s super fun and a great way to bring local riders together,” says series founder Gretchen Sehler, whose events draw up to 200 riders.

Tour de Steamboat Thanks to local sponsorship from Prudential Steamboat Realty, local mountain bike hall of famer Kent Eriksen’s Tour de MovetoSteamboat.com

Steamboat draws up to 1,000 riders to benefit the Sunshine Kids Foundation. The noncompetitive event offers a 40-mile ride, family Core Trail ride and 110-mile Gore Gruel. “It’s a great event for a great cause,” says Eriksen.

Ride 4 Yellow On the philanthropic front, few events rival the Ride 4 Yellow, a 26-mile mountain bike ride put on by the 4 Yellow Foundation to provide cancer support funding through the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. The event draws up to 200 cyclists of all abilities annually, including cycling legend Lance Armstrong, and this year raised more than $300,000.

Steamboat Stinger Now entering its third year, the Steamboat Stinger draws 400 mountain bikers to town to race 50 miles up and over Emerald Mountain twice. Hosted by local energy food company Honey Stinger, the race lures the sport’s best and offers solo and duo divisions, as well as half and full marathon trail races.

"Racing is in our DNA and this is a great way to showcase the great trails we have,” says company president Bill Gamber.

Steamboat Enduro Steamboat is at the forefront of Enduro racing by hosting the Big Mountain Enduro Series by Yeti Cycles, which follows the 26-mile Continental Divide

Trail from Rabbit Ears Pass to Steamboat Ski Area. “They’re designed as backcountry experiences and set the stage for American Enduro racing,” says organizer Ketih Darner.

Steamboat Stage Race Held every Labor Day weekend, the Steamboat Stage Race follows a similar format as the Tour de France, requiring racers to compete over three days.

It offers 10 different categories, with equal prize money for the pro men and women’s fields, and is going stronger than ever. “It’s great to see pro riders racing alongside local racers,” says organizer Corey Piscopo, whose event draws 400 competitors to the streets of Steamboat.

Outdoor Businesses Shine in Steamboat Where to Worship People move to Steamboat for the outdoor lifestyle, and there’s no better example of this than the thriving outdoor businesses that call Steamboat home. With an educated workforce, easy airport access, and product-testing grounds right out the office door, it’s no wonder that the following companies and more are proud to have their headquarters in the heart of town.

Big Agnes Founded in 2000, Big Agnes is an awardwinning tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad manufacturer headquartered on Oak Street in downtown Steamboat Springs. In 12 short years, it has won multiple Editor’s Choice awards from leading publications and has blossomed to include more than 600 retailers in North America including such stalwarts as EMS and REI, where it has become the outdoor coop’s No. 1 outsourced tent brand. Employing 34 people, the company also is in 10 international markets throughout Asia and Europe.

Co-founder Bill Gamber says his company’s work-hard, play-hard culture is wrapped up in the lifestyle of the Yampa Valley. “Our crew didn’t move to Steamboat to work for Big Agnes; they moved to Steamboat to live here,” he says.

Recently acquiring a new warehouse facility on the city’s west side, new this year is the Fishhook SL2, an award-winning zipperless tent that relies on magnets, as well as new sleeping bag and pad systems. “Steamboat is a great place to be based,” Gamber says. “You couldn’t ask for better testing grounds right out our back door.”

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 35 local employees and is making waves around the world.

The start-up came naturally for Gamber, whose grandfather founded Dutch Gold Honey and invented the Honey Bear still found on grocery shelves. The company’s original line of honey-based energy gels arose as a natural, long-lasting energy source for endurance athletes. The company also produces energy bars, protein bars, organic energy chews, organic Stinger Waffles and organic energy gels.

Now the company’s best selling product, the Stinger Waffle was inspired by co-owner and bicycling great Lance Armstrong, who saw a way to improve upon the popular stroopwafel racers use in Europe.

Moots Founded in Steamboat in 1981 by Kent Eriksen, Moots has been hand-building titanium road, mountain and cross bikes locally for more than three decades. Enjoyed by cyclists worldwide, the company’s designers and builders work in an office off Routt County Road 129 and, when not churning out high-quality titanium cycles, can be found testing their wares on local trails.

“Our location here is tightly woven into our company values and brand,” says President Rob Mitchell, whose company recently was selected out of 400 nominees as a Colorado Company to Watch by the State Office of Economic Development. “Being rooted in Steamboat gives us immediate access to

Outdoor Businesses some of the state’s best riding right out our door.” Mitchell adds that this also plays a role in the company’s ability to design and build cutting-edge cycles while also offering an attractive lifestyle for its employees.

Employing 25 people locally, the company also supports numerous community and industry advocacy movements, from local trail workdays to sponsoring the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Cycling Team, and employs a cutting-edge recycling program and solar system to power its manufacturing.

“We’re proud of our bikes, the team that builds them and the culture and character of the town we’ve called home for so long,” Mitchell says. “The values of our brand have always been positioned around our Steamboat location, and Moots shares many of the same values that make Steamboat so special.”

Kent Eriksen Cycles Helping usher mountain biking not only into Routt County but also the United States, Kent Eriksen, 58, is no stranger to cycling in Steamboat. After owning and operating Sore Saddle Cyclery in the 1970s, he founded Moots in 1981 and was elected into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1996.

After a 25-year run, Eriksen, an endless tinkerer, left Moots in 2005 to found Kent Eriksen Cycles downtown. Producing up to 200 frames per year, the company specializes in custom titanium cycles, taking customers’ measurements down to the millimeter as part of the building process. Making bikes of all styles — road, mountain, cross and touring — his attention to detail won him Best Titanium Bike award at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show for the past three years.

“Steamboat is already a special place to live, and its wealth of biking options make it even more special,” says Eriksen, who can often be found riding a handmade tandem mountain bike with his wife, Katie Lindquist.

“I couldn’t imagine living anyplace else.”

parel brand whose products are inspired by living and playing in the mountains. The company was born on a simple belief: keeping feet comfortable on the slopes. It did this by employing soft and high-performance New Zealand merino wool, a concept it since has expanded into an award-winning lifestyle apparel line.

A recipient of multiple Editor’s Choice magazine awards, the company has built long-standing relationships with its growers and continues to lead the merino wool sock and apparel market while serving as an outdoor industry cornerstone of the Steamboat community.

Owned by VF Corp— whose holdings also include such outdoor giants as The North Face, Jansport, Wrangler, Reef and Timberland — SmartWool’s Steamboat headquarters employ 62 people, with another 12 in its Boulder office and 11 in Great Britain. 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 in 35 countries.

BOA founder Gary Hammerslag

Boa Technology

Founded in 1998 by Steamboat Springs entrepreneur Gary Hammerslag and his wife, Loretta, Boa Technology creates a dialed closure system employing a reel and steel cable to evenly tighten footwear for everything from running and golf shoes to cycling and snow-sports footwear.

The system now can be found on more than one-third of the world's snowboard boots, with the company growing at a rate of 30 percent a year. The system can be found in 100 brands divided into 15 primary categories.

In 2012, the company received a majority investment from San Francisco’s Glenbrook Consumer Partners, which will help it launch deeper into the medical industry, offering its dialto-tighten lacing system in helmets, work boots, orthopedic braces and more.

“Steamboat is a very special place to live and work,” Hammerslag says. “Many of us moved here for the beauty and outdoor recreation, but we decided to make it our home when we recognized that the best thing about the valley is its people. This place attracts a special type of person who wants to make the most out of his or her life and makes conscious choices to do so.”

With offices in Steamboat and Denver, Boa soon will move into a new 23,000-square-foot complex in Denver with plans to add to its 60-employee workforce.

Creek Co. founders Dave Gowdy and Chris Timmerman

Creek Company

In 1982, Steamboat locals and fishermen Dave Gowdy and Chris Timmerman invented the Quick Float, a 1 ounce portable inflatable device to inflate float tubes for fishing in highAlpine lakes.

“This way fishermen could pack their tubes in with them,” Timmerman says.

In 1986, they teamed up with Wilson Creek, of Ontario, Ore., which invented the open-front float tube U-Boat, moving the company to Steamboat Springs in 1992. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Creek Co. is a market leader in the high-end personal flotation craft category, manufacturing pontoon boats, float tubes, tackle bags, fly-fishing accessories and hunting and camping accessories. Highlighting its 2012 offerings is the patented Voyager Frameless Pontoon (also available in a two-person version), and the 420 Ultralight, a 7 pound float tube.

"Having our business located in Steamboat has been a great inspiration for all we do,” says Gowdy, whose office and warehouse 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.”

Location-Neutral Business

Start-up Spotlight: SolBites Directory Local businessman Ptach, of the Storm Peak Innovation Center.

Location-neutral Businesses Abound in the ‘Boat From her computer in Steamboat Springs, Sarah Nunham can work in four time zones spanning multiple continents on any given day.

“No two days are alike,” says Nunham, a marketing and customer service manager for LDM Global. “We have sales calls with our staff all around the world. Everything we do is online.”

Nunham, who recently moved to Steamboat from Tucson, Ariz., to take a job she says doesn’t exist in many small mountain towns, is part of a growing and increasingly important workforce in Steamboat Springs: location-neutral businesses. From software techs and salespeople to graphic designers and lone-eagle workers for employers like Oracle, the Yampa Valley is rife with employees and entrepreneurs whose business borders extend well beyond Steamboat.

“It’s an increasingly important component of the economy, which already helped us weather the economic downturn,” local economic analyst Scott Ford says.

A recent Yampa Valley Data Partners report estimates that Steamboat’s location-neutral workforce generates more than $52 million in personal income, equivalent to the per34 | move to Steamboat | 2013

sonal income generated by the county’s entire hospitality and food services sectors.

The report adds that if every location-neutral employee were to leave his or her home to work in an office, the complex would need to house more than 1,000 employees, or a tenth of Steamboat’s population.

“Location-neutral businesses are significant to Routt County’s economy,” Ford adds.

“And they pay on average 20 percent above Routt County’s current median income.”

While her work isn’t consumed by Routt County residents, Nunham still considers herself a budding member of this community. With offices in London, New York, Paris, Sydney, Brussells, Virginia and now Steamboat, her new employer specializes in data processing and computer forensics. Soon, LDM Global CEO Chris O’Reilly plans to establish his company’s permanent headquarters in Steamboat. “No one should have to work in a dirty, smelly city anymore,” says O’Reilly, who moved his job to Steamboat in 2009 with his wife, Stephanie, to raise their three daughters.

In March, he started replacing a handful of key positions in London with employees in the Yampa Valley. His first

four full-time employees and two part-timers work out of a condo near Mount Werner, but O’Reilly plans to move them into a permanent commercial space. He also plans to double the size of his staff. He’s even tapping the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College for interns.

“There’s no reason I can’t have my data center here in Steamboat and hire intelligent people,” he says. “This expansion is going to bring job growth and tax revenue to the city and the county.”

LDM Global’s growth comes at a time when other locationneutral business owners are banding together to increase their visibility and influence.

Scott Bideau, another member of Steamboat’s locationneutral workforce, recently addressed the Steamboat Springs City Council asking it to help foster his growing sector of the economy.

“We were just representing the fact that we comprise a fairly large sector of the workforce in the region,” Bideau says, adding that the City Council and other officials can help foster his sector by pushing for more direct flights to new destinations and by strengthening broadband access.

Some of that already is start-

ing to happen. O’Reilly and other location-neutral business owners recently cheered the arrival of new direct ski season flights from Yampa Valley Regional Airport to Los Angeles International Airport. They hope the trend continues.

Ford says Steamboat can continue to attract locationneutral workers by maintaining its reputation as a great place to live. He adds that Yampa Valley Medical Center’s recent Consumer Reports ranking as the safest hospital in Colorado and the Steamboat Springs School District’s reputation are helping the cause. “As long as we maintain competitive infrastructure and don’t ignore transportation, location-neutral workers will continue to come here,” Ford says. “If we focus on being a great place to live, we win.”

O’Reilly says it took him two years to pull the trigger and open an arm of his business in Steamboat. He was nervous at first about turning his home and former ski escape into his workplace.

“But it’s not as scary as I thought, and now I couldn’t be more excited,” he says. “It’s my goal to become one of the best companies in town.”

SolBites Psyched on Steamboat Don’t be surprised if you see a new healthy, hometown snack food nestled between cigarette lighters and candy bars in local convenience stores. And you’ll find it in nearly 400 other retailers across the country, as well.

Marketed as a portable snack “you can feel good about eating,” Steamboat Springs-based SolBites — consisting of four wheat crackers and two spreads with no trans fat or genetically modified ingredients — is finding its way onto retailer shelves nationwide and is yet another example of a Yampa Valleybased company spreading its wings.

“People go to convenience stores looking for something healthy, but there’s not much there you can eat and feel good about,” SolBites co-founder Adam Spector says. “Through that frustration, SolBites was developed.”

Spector, who has lived in Steamboat for 10 years, saw an opening in a growing healthy MovetoSteamboat.com

foods market last year and left his job as sales manager at Steamboat-based Honey Stinger to develop SolBites with partner Arn Hayden. A year later, it is expanding into such big-name stores as REI, Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage and City Market.

Spector’s original idea for spreads included pomegranate, acai berry, clementine and red chili peanut butter. Then they simplified it to almond butter and honey, chocolate almond butter and strawberry, and peanut butter and strawberry. Future plans include a gluten-free offering and cheese and hummus.

Packaging came next, and after that, the first batches were placed in Steamboat businesses.

“People definitely like them,” says Bamboo Market owner Anne Halloran, one of the first retailers to carry them. “It’s a nice alternative to less healthy things you buy at the grocery store, and they’re perfect to put in a lunch box.”

Anyone who grew up eating

Kraft Handi-Snacks is familiar with the company’s concept: a small plastic container with a few crackers, a spoon and a spread. Spector claims his product’s natural ingredients and lower sodium content make it a much healthier food for kids than other spreads. He adds that a young demographic is pushing most of its sales but that SolBites also are a hit with hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

we’ll be the only food item in the portable, healthy food category for long. People are taking notice. Just like Clif Bars, Honey Stinger and PowerBar make up a category, SolBites could evolve into a category of its own.”
