Special Announcements |
Today on the mountain, stop by the Salomon Demo Tent, because it's the year of the BBR. This new shape has an oversized, surfboard like tip and rocker shape enable the ski to float in powder and adapt to uneven terrain smoothly and predictably. Try out the BBR, which has been getting rave reviews, and leave your own comments on Salomon's BBR homepage. The BBR is the ski of the future, so take some turns while Salomon is still in town.

Good morning ski bunnies and powder hounds! This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Wednesday, February 15, 2012. The conditions in the Butte are epic right now. We're talking 18 inches of snow in just the last seven days, with 8 inches that fell in the past 48 hours. We received an inch of snow overnight, creating super smooth conditions all over the mountain. Today there are 13 lifts transporting you up to 86 trails spread out over 770 acres of open terrain. We have 54 trails of Colorado's Best Corduroy, and we're highlighting the Groomer's Choice today, International. The base is expected to continue to rise with snow showers in the forecast for today and tomorrow, and as one guest put it, in Crested Butte, you "ski all day and never wait in a lift line."
Stop by 9380 for Après and enjoy their new $5 menu that includes house specialty drinks, 2 Bud Lights, Sangria, sake shots, 1 lb. of wings, Gyoza, Pork sliders and popcorn shrimp. 9380, named for the elevation of the base area, is located slopeside in the Elevation Hotel, and is a super sweet spot to finish a full day of skiing, riding and playing!
FestEVOL is back and so are great concert packages! Come to Crested Butte Mountain Resort March 17 & 18 for mountain sports, live music, and the progressive "eco-village." Big-name, headline bands for 2012 include Barenaked Ladies, Guster/Big Head Todd and the Monsters! Combine your concert tickets with lodging and lift tickets, and enjoy a simple and fun March getaway. Lift, lodging and concert ticket packages start at $112, so call 1.800.810.7669 for more information and to book your FestEVOL trip to Crested Butte.
That is all from me today, folks. Have a great day and I'll see you on the hill!
