Okemo Ski Resort
Ludlow, Vermont
Custom Commercial Stairs Built for One of Vermont's Premier Ski Resorts
At Spiral Stairs of America, we're known for custom spiral staircases—but our expertise extends far beyond spirals. We also design and fabricate durable, code-compliant straight stairs and railing systems for commercial, industrial, and hospitality projects across the country.
One of our recent projects took us to Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow, Vermont, where we manufactured a custom aluminum straight stairs and railings system designed to withstand the demanding conditions of a year-round mountain resort.
Built for Strength, Safety, and the Elements
Mountain environments require building materials that can handle constant exposure to snow, ice, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. For this reason, the entire stair systems were fabricated from high-quality aluminum, providing exceptional corrosion resistance while remaining lightweight and structurally strong.
The project features:
- Custom-fabricated aluminum straight stairs
- Heavy-duty aluminum railing system
- Wire mesh infill panels for added safety and modern industrial styling
- Slip-resistant bar grate treads for superior drainage and traction
- Commercial-grade construction built to meet applicable building codes
Every component was precision fabricated in our facility before being shipped to Vermont for installation.
Why Aluminum Was the Right Choice
Unlike traditional steel, aluminum offers outstanding long-term performance in harsh outdoor environments without the worry of rust or extensive maintenance. For facilities like ski resorts, where equipment and infrastructure face constant exposure to moisture and winter weather, aluminum provides an ideal combination of durability and longevity.
Its lighter weight also simplifies transportation and installation while delivering the structural performance required for commercial applications.
Bar Grate Treads for Maximum Traction
Safety is always a top priority, especially in locations where snow, rain, and ice are common. That's why this project incorporates bar grate treads, allowing water, snow, and debris to pass through the walking surface instead of collecting on it.
The open-grate design helps maintain traction throughout the seasons, making it a dependable solution for commercial stair systems exposed to the elements.
Modern Wire Mesh Railings
The railing system features wire mesh infill panels, creating a clean, contemporary appearance while providing excellent visibility and meeting commercial safety requirements.
Wire mesh railings are an increasingly popular choice for resorts, industrial facilities, and commercial properties because they combine durability with a modern architectural aesthetic that complements a wide variety of building styles.
