The city of Steamboat Springs will begin conducting repairs to the HS127 jump at Howelsen Hill in the coming weeks. The HS127 is the largest of the jumps and is in need of immediate repairs to the stairs and railings. According to a visual structural assessment of the jump by Steamboat Engineering & Architectural Design, the log columns of the jump do not currently raise any structural concerns, but several other components — including the upper ramp surface, platform and decking, stairs, railings and some cross bracing components — have reached the end of their service life and need to be replaced or repaired.

The city will use the engineering company’s recommendations and guidance to conduct these repairs in order of safety priority.

The city is committed to the safety of those using the jumps at Howelsen Hill and is collaborating with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club on this project. It is anticipated that the necessary repairs can be completed in time to allow use of the jump this winter.

The full project is expected to be complete by summer 2017.
