DETAILS Steamboat Springs, in northwestern Colorado’s Yampa Valley about 150 miles from Denver, was incorporated more than a century ago. Now Ski Town USA, as it has dubbed itself, is full of resorts and residential developments, especially around the namesake ski area on 10,568-foot Mount Werner, and many new projects are on the way. This one, approved a little more than two months ago, will consist of 124 one- to four-bedroom residences in nine buildings just above the base village.
Two of the buildings will be filled with condos, and the rest will be smaller structures with duplex units. All the units will have views of the mountain, and they will range from 900 to 4,300 square feet. There will be a heated outdoor pool, whirlpools and a fire pit, and within the building will be lounges, rooms for spa treatments, a fitness center, ski lockers, a game room and a media room with a flat-screen TV. But what will surely be the project’s main draw is its close proximity to the resort. On either end of the site are a gondola and an express lift, providing access to 165 trails and nearly 3,000 acres of terrain. The Yampa Valley Regional Airport is about 22 miles west in Hayden, Colo.
