It never ceases to amaze me when our good friend Mikey transforms from the full time carpenter that his is, into the completely nasty pro skier that lives within.

And this one.

This should be attended.

LA people NEED to go see these lovely ladies.

Three Years In The Making...

After countless minutes, hours, days, weeks, weekends, months and now years I can say it is finished product. After countless conversations, arguments, sleepless nights, day after day of hard work put forth I can say we have reached the end mark.....or at least we are darn close.

For all of you who have seen this monstrosity arise into the Steamboat skyline you may wonder what is it like on the inside. I can tell you its quite unique. It's actually a work of art in my mind. A little kick of Western with a mix of modern day interior design; it is sure to catch your eye as you walk in the front doors. With a now $150 million dollar price tag I can certainly say it has been a true pain in the ass. Yep, try pouring a 23,000 cubic yard foundation during a 500" winter. It sucked. It was a challenge. It was in the spotlight. And it took schmoozing not only the Owner, the Ski Corp, the City of Steamboat Springs, the Damn County of Routt, but many many other entities. That's what it is all about tho right? Maybe... but at least now I can reap the reward of the over 7,800 hours worked (personally). I will not hesitate when I say I am glad that this damn building is now built.

Within it's 500,000 sq. ft. sits 80 custom homes, a world class spa, fine dining and many other fine amenities....to many to describe in fact. I only wish I could show it all to you, however, I cant (damn legalities). With that being said here is a sneak peak of what's been accomplished by countless men working countless hours. I can now personally say done and done. Im the eff outta here!! See ya One Steamboat Place.
