Good morning my people. This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Thursday, December 22, 2011. You'll be happy to learn that today we are getting the Gold Link Lift up and running, adding the following runs to our open terrain: Home Owners, North Pass, Panions, and Elko Park. We will also be opening the Painter Boy Park, as well as the Nastar course on Lower Canaan. Head over to Lower Canaan and challenge your friends to a couple of spins on the Nastar race course! All of these additions mean that 64% of our terrain is now open including 84% of our Beginner and Intermediate terrain and 51% of our Advanced Terrain. Get out to ski and ride a total of 407 acres on 55 trails, including 236 groomed acres on 29 trails. Our Groomer's Choice for today is probably one of your favorites…International.
As for weather, here is the "down low." We have not yet received any snow from this current snow event, however, there is a 70% chance of precipitation today and we can expect between 2-4 inches to fall. This front has moved in some cooler temps, and the high today will be 14 degrees. We could also see the wind pick up today, so be sure to bundle up and bring along a face mask. Stop by Thin Air Sports in Mountaineer Square, Elevation Station in the Elevation Hotel, or the White Room in the Treasury Building to find all cold-weather gear to keep you toasty despite the temps. Are you looking to get pampered during your stay in Crested Butte? The Elevation Spa invites you to come in, unwind and enjoy massage therapy for your muscles, body treatments for your skin, and facials for a beautiful complexion, along with cardiovascular machines, strength training equipment, a pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna. For more information, call 970-251-3500 or visit Elevationspa.com
Have a great day and I'll see you on the hill!
