Good morning friends. This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Sunday, December 11, 2011. Here's whats going on at the mountain today.
Thanks to the fastest snowguns in the west, we now have 50% of our terrain open for skiing and riding. Cold temperatures have allowed snowmakers to pump snow for a total of 317 acres and 46 trails accessible via 6 chair lifts. Our expert grooming team has been fine-tuning 24 trails on 200 acres, including the Groomer's Choice for today, Upper Keystone. Right now we are skiing and riding a 22" base at the top and 15" at midway. The weather for today will be sunny and clear with a high of 32 degrees, and the snow gods should open up the skies for us Monday through Wednesday, dumping new snow on the Valley.
One of my favorite events of the winter is just around the corner. Rock on Ice returns to Mt Crested Butte this coming Wednesday, December 14. For one week only, we will be entertained by an ice carving festival in celebration of the holiday season. Be amazed as two of the world’s most renowned carvers create larger than life sized sculptures of animals, holiday characters and other iconic figures out of blocks of ice. The event will feature daily ice carving demonstrations, including interactive sculptures perfect for family photos, and a dazzling ice sculpture garden in the outdoor courtyard at Mountaineer Square.
That's all from me today, folks. I'll see you on the hill!
