Announcements
Here are the stats for today. We currently have a total of 280 acres of open terrain, including 163 acres of groomed terrain. 44% of our mountain is open to skiers and riders, and we're hoping to get more terrain on line this weekend. 49% of our beginner and intermediate terrain is open, as well as 27% of advanced terrain. We have 5 lifts shuttling skiers and riders to 40 trails, 19 of which have been groomed. Our Groomer's Choice for today is Paradise Bowl. Today you can expect classic Colorado bluebird skies, with a high temperature of 29 degrees and a low temperature of 2 degrees.

Make your reservations today for the Moonlight Snowshoe Tour tomorrow night from 6:30-8:30 pm. If enjoying the night sky is on your list of things to do, then join us for an evening under the moon. Take a relaxing ride on a Snowcat to the top of the Red Lady Express where guests are dropped off to enjoy snowshoeing back down the mountain trails to the base area. Sounds like a great way to howl at the moon. Call the Mountain Concierge for more information at 970-349-4554.

The holidays can sometimes be challenging, but not when we're offering a great package that will definitely simplify the holiday! We call it the Grandest Christmas Ever. The package includes 4 nights lodging at my favorite hotel in town, the Grand Lodge, 3 days of lift tickets for 2 adults and 2 children as well as Adventure Park Tickets. This package is only $1199 and can be purchased online at skicb.com or by calling Crested Butte Vacations at 1.800.810.7669.

Have a great day and I'll see you on the hill this weekend!
