1,000 Steps

The 1,000 Steps project is located in Cle Elum, WA at Suncadia Resort. The project consists of 18 flights of colored stairs from the river bed up 20 stories to the lodge, with 20 landings that have stamped animal footprints. During the pours of each set of stairs, Poppoff used a 61 meter concrete pump from either the top or bottom of the hill, and some pours even had to have 100 ft of slick line hose added to the end in order to make the point of placement. While pouring concrete on a slippery 40 degree slope of rocks, our crews would build tents over the top of each set of stairs during placement to keep them out of the weather.
