Right or wrong this guy needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY!!! That is NOT the way you go about a concern you have as an employee without going through the proper channels first. I know the management company of this property and this isn't there only hotel and the would not have brushed this under the rug if it was brought to their attention.

Back in January when City Council was listening to proposals for where to spend the lodging tax funds Cari Hermacinski said it best: “Is there a single tourist who would say 'I'm going to Steamboat because the medians look good'?". Same goes for this project as well.

Wish they would put water restrictions in place every year like this BECAUSE who on earth needs all these lawns in this town to look like a PGA putting green??? Steamboat Resorts is the worst offender with their condo complexes that sit empty in the summer looking like a photoshop creation. The City is second with all the water running down the streets from the medians. This is so unneccessay.

All I can say is "here we go again". I posted when Jon Roberts resigned and Deb Hinsvark was selected as interim city manager that she and Anne Small are the 2 big pushers of the Iron Horse/Public Safety building fiasco. Now that she is in the position watch how many other things she pushes council hard on that cost the city and will raise the taxes. How on earth did they not even interview candidates?? What a joke.

Very peculiar that another ski area makes the front page of this paper. As much as the Pilot and Ski Corp act hand in hand I wonder why this would be front page news here outside of the fact that the Maddoxes are local residents.

Ah just what we need with all the summer traffic is a bridge repair lasting 9 months. That should be a fun daily commute from Hayden and Craig!

Question is what happened between United and SkyWest that made it so Republic would be the Express carrier. Republic has issues with delays all over the western states.
And yes more people are less anxious flying on CRJ's that turbo props. Less and less turbo props are in the commercial market since ERJ and CRJ have flooded the industry.

walt jones 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Steamboat Springs to have mostly clear skies for coming week

After I commented a few weeks ago about the paper not saying anything about the warm weather for 9 days before this latest snow event, it's good to see an article mentioning sunny warm weather and not just snow. You know "fair and balanced" ;-)

walt jones 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Steamboat Ski Area snow report for Tuesday, Jan. 29

Marketing campaign caused this! As ski Corp how the phones did not stop ringing once that message got out to help the fact that skier days are down 11% this year (I believe that was the number quoted in the paper a few weeks ago). ALSO with no regulations to say how much snow fell any ski area can report any amount any time.
