Project Highlights
Greiner completed all electrical work for the 7,455 SF observatory and planetarium, 25,050 SF summit building, gondola, and snowmaking machines. The project included 27 power vaults, two 800-amp pumps, one 2,000-amp panel, 200 receptacles, and 2,000 small LED lights for a mural—all completed on site rather than prefab due to limited site access. Greiner completed the three-year project on time while managing challenges such as:
Moving all materials via gondola, snowmobile, or narrow road
Navigating snowmobiles, ATVs, and UTVs on snow-covered hills and roads in blizzard conditions
Preventing frostbite in –20° to –30° temperatures
Working with a backcountry guide to learn how to maintain balance while carrying heavy tools and step carefully on snow and ice
Safely hiking with 20 to 30 pounds of gear and climbing trees 25 to 30 feet high to install light fixtures on trees
Coexisting with deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and other wildlife
The 2025 AGC Colorado ACE Awards recognized the Snow King project for delivering excellence, innovation, and impact across the industry.
