Good morning and Happy Powder Day! You heard me right. It is another Powder Day here in Crested Butte, where the skiing and riding is sooo nice. This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Sunday, February 20, 2011. In the last 24 hours, we've accumulated 6 inches, and in just the last seven days, we've received 16 inches of snow. It's a winter wonderland out there folks, so if you're not here already, hit the road. If the sheer numbers aren't enough to get you moving, watch the snow pile up in real time at skicb.com/Powcam.
It looks like we are going to see more snowfall in the next few days, and I say "Bring it on!" There is a 50% chance of snow for today, with high temperatures reaching the mid 20's. On Monday and Tuesday, we can expect snow showers as well. Bundle up and get ready for some great skiing and riding out there. Crested Butte Mountain Resort features 16 chair lifts, including 4 high speed quads whose only job is to get you up the mountain quickly and safely. This morning, you'll be choosing from 105 trails spread out over 1167 acres, including 470 acres of "Colorado's Best Corduroy." The groomers are going to be super sweet today, so be sure to take a run down Bushwhacker which is our Groomer's Choice today.
What a great way to spend President's Weekend! We've got tons of fresh snow, lots of happy locals and the most genuine mountain town in Colorado. Now in our 50th year, Crested Butte Mountain Resort has so much to offer. From fine dining to family fun, art galleries and live music, museums and a nationally registered historic district. Why stick to the same old ski resorts, when Crested Butte can give you something unique and memorable? Call Crested Butte Vacations today to see what kind of package deals are avaiable for the rest of this winter season. Now's the time to visit the Butte. Call 1.800.810.7669.
I can't wait to get out to the Extremes today...and I hope to see you there. Have a great day folks.
