Good morning skiers and riders! This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort for Saturday, December 26, 2009. I don't know about you, but I am feeling the need for a little wind and crisp air in my face today. Get your legs moving and head on up to the mountain this morning. While we haven't had any new snow in the last 48 hours, we did get 4" in the last 72 hours. Thanks to the colder temperatures, the snow conditions have remained packed powder and smooth. Our natural snow depth is 38 inches and you'll ski and ride your choice of 84 trails spread across 554 acres. If groomers are your fav, choose from 64 expertly groomed trails of Colorado's Best Corduroy, including our Groomer's Choice today, one of my favorites, International. Take your pick of 14 chair lifts that transport you up to 100% of our beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain. As for the weather here in Crested Butte, it is 3 degrees at 5 am, and temperatures should reach the mid-teens today. Forecasters predict a 30% chance of snow showers today and tomorrow, so keep your fingers and toes crossed that we see more snow throughout this festive week.
