Good Morning skiers and riders! Today is Saturday, March 13th and it is shaping up to be another beautiful day on the Hill! Shed those work clothes, jump into some ski gear, and head on up to the Mountain because the weekend has arrived! Be sure and grab yourselves some sunscreen at the base area this morning, and lather up! Although it is looking like another sunny day on the slopes, the weather experts are predicting that snowy weather will be rolling back through tomorrow with an 80%chance of precipitation expected. That means there will be more powder for us to ski and ride!

Today, you can hop on any one of 15 lifts that will transport you around the Mountain. With 1144 acres of terrain open, you'll have plenty of runs to keep you entertained on the Hill, including 111 fun filled trails. Our hard working grooming team has buffed out 370 acres of corduroy and they have chosen International as their pick for best groomed run on the Mountain today. We've has a season total snowfall of 192 inches, giving us a fantastic 55 inch base. Skies are clear as the day breaks and the conditions on the Mountain will be packed powder!

There will be tons of action on the Hill today, that's for sure! Watch out for athletes ripping it up in the Boardercross event today! Or, keep your eyes peeled for skiers and riders in tropical dress, as participants join in the fun at the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum's, Beach Ball Express FUNdraiser. They will be hosting a ski vanger hunt as well as a raffle with great prizes and of course prizes for best individual and team costumes! Be sure and pick up a raffle ticket for a chance to win some of those fabulous prizes!

Thanks to the crew at the Colorado Freeskier, Big Air on Elk is also returning this year and will take place on Elk Avenue in Crested Butte tonight between 5 and 10 p.m. Main street will be transformed into a terrain style kicker that skiers and boarders will be towed into by snowmobiles. You won't want to miss this exciting event!

With great skiing and riding conditions and fun events happening this weekend, Crested Butte Mountain Resort is where you want to be! Have a Great Day and I'll see you on the slopes!
