Happy Monday after the long holiday break! This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Monday, December 29, 2008. For all those locals who were looking for a break from shoveling, today's your lucky day! We've gotten a trace of snow in the last 24 hours and four inches in the last 48 hours. Conditions on the mountain are still fantastic because of the massive winter storm we've had in the last seven days, which brought us 51 inches of snow and beefed up our base to 53 inches. We have a total of 718 acres open, of which 481 acres are groomed by our hard working Mountain Operations team. With 97% of the main mountain now open, every skier and rider has the chance to cruise their favorite groomer, practice their mogul skills, get lost in the trees or discover their own little piece of the powder stash. Ride 14 lifts to the top of your favorite set of trails and enjoy 100% of our beginner and intermediate terrain, as well as 76% of our advanced terrain. Today, we'll have partly cloudy skies with temps in the high 20s; we'll be soaking up the sunshine today and tomorrow,and then get back to business with snow showers on Wednesday and Thursday. My goal for the year is to master the bumps, so that I can attempt to ski the steeps here in Crested Butte. Have you thought about your New Year's Resolution yet?
