Second leg to be completed Summer ’23 The new Wild Blue Gondola will be the longest and fastest 10-person gondola in North America. With the lower leg opening in winter 22/23, and the upper leg opening in 23/24, the state-of-the-art gondola will feed skiers/riders through a newly created mid-station adjacent to Bashor bowl with the final destination at the top of Sunshine Peak. At a total length of 3.16 miles, the new gondola will increase the out of base capacity from 6,000 people per hour to 10,000 people per hour, getting skiers from bottom to top in 13 minutes.

Featuring a slope graded for beginners that will be a 0% to 15% angle, and progressive Terrain-Based Learning developed with Snow Operating and a dedicated chairlift.

This adventurous, gladed terrain will open in winter 23/24 and be serviced from a new chairlift. Steamboat has long been known for our pristine intermediate terrain, and this new expansion will put us on the map for the best skiers and snowboarders in the world. View Timeline Enhanced Snowmaking Status: Coming Winter 23/24 In order to provide an improved experience in Greenhorn Ranch and on Sunshine Peak, we need to make sure the surface is consistently covered and can open early. That’s where our new automated, Low-E snowmaking technology comes in – ensuring our most popular terrain is available by peak holiday visitation.
