Happy Friday Folks! This is Crested Butte Mountain Resort's "Whole Lotta Snow" report for December 26th. Yes it is the day after Christmas and I am happy to report that we received 13 new inches of snow in the last 24 hours, giving us a season total of 126 inches! Thanks to Mother Nature for blessing us with such a beautiful, white Christmas! It looks like more snow is in the forecast for today with an 80% chance of precipitation, and a 30% chance of precipitation on Saturday! That sounds like more POWDER skiing over the weekend, so don't miss out on the chance to experience what Colorado skiing and riding is really about!

Currently, 97 percent of all the terrain here at Crested Butte Mountain Resort is open! That amounts to 718 glorious acres, 481 of which have been groomed to perfection. Our natural snow depth has reached a fantastic 57 inches! With the opening of the Twister lift today, 14 lifts are currently up and running, and you can expect to ski or ride plenty of POWDER on the hill this morning! If you prefer the groomers, take a ride down Houston because it is our groomer's choice for today!

All that powder skiing is sure to work up your appetite! If you find yourself hungry on the hill today, ski down to 9380 Prime located in the Elevation Hotel at the base area by the Red Lady Express lift. Whether you're in the mood for a casual breakfast, lunch, apres ski beverage, or a more fine dining dinner option, 9380 Prime will serve it up right every time! This new ski-in/ski-out restaurant features a newly expanded outdoor bar and deck for enjoying that beautiful Colorado sunshine! You can also cozy up by their large outdoor fire pit. With expansive new bars inside and out, and plenty of outdoor seating, 9380 Prime is sure to satisfy all your needs! Be sure to check out the links on our website for 9380 Prime's menu options!

With the massive amounts of snow we are receiving and the endless string of POWDER days we are experiencing, Crested Butte Mountain Resort is the place to be and ski! Come and experience it for yourself! Have a great day and we'll see you on the hill!
