Steamboat Springs’ Ski Time Square Demolition Update
The wrecking balls haven’t arrived yet in Steamboat to tear down Ski time Square, but they’re coming. The rumor was that Ski Time Square would be demolished as soon as the ski season ended, but they need to take care of a few things first.
Here is the current timeline (as of April 17, 2008):
Mid-April—Mid-May: All furniture and reuseable building materials are going to be liquidated and sold. The developers want to recycle as many things as they can. They will salvage cabinets, plumbing materials, solid-core doors, and literally anything in the buildings that has a value to someone. A green privacy fence will go up around the construction site keeping people out.
Mid-May-August: All hazardous materials will be abated. There is about 30 truckloads of ceiling texture and a small amount of flooring tiles that need removed before the tear-down can start.
August-October: Demolition time. Excavators will rip the buildings down, and trucks (5-20 a day) will remove the debris. By November, there will be empty lots with fencing where Thunderhead Lodge and Ski Time Square are now.
November-April: The site will be vacant all winter. Enjoy the views!
Next summer: ONLY the Thunderhead location–Buildings A and B–will be constructed. Ski Time Square will remain an empty lot. Buildings A and B are scheduled for completion in 2011. There will be a “branded” hotel/condotel/private residence club like a Ritz or Four Seasons. (No specific names have been named.)
