Good Morning skiers and riders! This is your Crested Butte Mountain Resort snow report for Friday, February 20th. We've had an amazing season so far with 241 inches of snowfall, giving us a fantastic 62 inch base. Just in the last week we have received 18 inches of snow, so you can be sure to find plenty of powder still left on the Mountain today! Fifteen scenic lifts will give you access to 104 trails, all spread out across 1250 acres of terrain. If you feel like hitting the groomers today, then you've got 62 trails to choose from. For the ultimate groomed run, head over to Paradise Bowl because it is our groomer's choice! Today's temperatures will reach the high twenties and you can expect more of those pristine Colorado blue bird skies!
