Rib. But closer to Eagle vs Aspen.

Name 2 failed ski area proposals near Steamboat, CO?

really only 1 failed proposal I'm aware of...
Catamount. The other lost areas around here (aside from a few rope tow hills) are Steamboat Lake (one of the lifts is now the Barrows lift that serves Howelsen), Stagecoach (operated 2 seasons I believe... runs still skiable today, however private land) and Baker.

Correct and Correct

So was there a second proposal you were thinking of that wasn't mentioned? The only proposal I know of is Catamount, the others I mentioned are ski areas that were actually developed and operated at some point (granted Stagecoach and SB Lake were intended to be developed further).
