It's a shame when you're trying to find shopping in Ski Times Square when all the retail space near Torian Plum is occupied by real estate offices. They need to get out of those prime retail spaces so the area can up revenue. Someone needs to do something about this NOW, not 5-10 YEARS.
LOCALS-go and shop up on the mountain. There are wonderful treasures up there. Take the bus; it's not hard to do.
I know the economy is in the dumps, but we are a community. We all have to help each other in whatever way we can. By ignoring retailers on the mountain, you are making things trickier for Steamboat establishments. What happens if they can't afford to keep their doors open? There's an evil catch 22 going on:
No one is on the mountain, so shops close up or close early. People then complain that nothing is open.
This is great! They should do this through all the schools in the district so that traffic will be less during those non-snowing months. We all know high school kids who drive just themselves to school in the area. More biker friendliness around the schools!
Boy faces amputation
How heartbreaking. He is a very brave little boy. My heart goes out to him and his family. I hope they find the reason this happened.

Base area needs boost
Um, places like The Silver Lining and Ambiente? Those are well priced Steamboat stores. I would have said the candy shop, but with construction...
Right now those are the only stores (not a knick nack or t shirt shop) worth going to on the mountain.

An early summer night's scream
Why not use locals who love the bard to perform this?

Sales soaring for scooters
How great! Now with tourists and the construction for the summer, hopefully this can ease the traffic burden.

Strawberry Park kids bike, hike to school

Do you think Lincoln Avenue is unsafely narrow through downtown Steamboat Springs?
I think there are way too many oversize vehicles on Lincoln. The vehicles currently on the road are huge!!!

Flags stolen and vandalized
That's awful.

Main Street makeover
Long overdue changes. Yes, it's bad that the roads are going to be crummy and traffic too, but it will be so much better long term.

Is aggressive driving a problem in downtown Steamboat Springs?
I live in LA, and if the traffic is just as bad when I come for visits, I think we have a huge problem.
