Good morning skiers and riders. This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort, on my birthday, December 15, 2009. Mother Nature could not have offered up a better birthday present than the snow we've received over the past week. In the last 24 hours, the slopes have been dusted with another 2 inches, bringing our 48 hour total to 21 inches, and our 72 hour total to 32 inches. In laymen's terms, over the last seven days, we've been blanketed with 39 inches of fluffy white powder and our snow total for the entire season thus far is a whopping 90 inches. You can ski and ride on a total of 48 trails, 43 of which are groomed every evenining by our expert grooming team. As the ski patrol and groomers attentively work to prepare and open more terrain on the mountain, you can already enjoy a total of 329 acres of open terrain, including 250 groomed acres and, of course, our Groomer's Choice for the day, Upper Ruby. You have access to 49% of our total terrain, made up of 48% beginner and intermediate as well as 54% of our advanced terrain.
