Energy Use for Lifts
Steamboat Ski & Resort, CO
Project Title:
Green Power Source

Description:
Steamboat Ski Resort is purchasing 3% of its total electricity requirements from green energy sources starting in the 2004/2005 season. This commitment joins the resort's previously announced plans to power its new $1.3 million Leitner-Poma triple chairlift with wind-generated electricity. The resort is purchasing renewable energy certificates to support new wind energy and offset the electricity required to power three percent of the total mountain electrical needs.
