Announcements
Good morning skiers, riders and spring breakers! This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Friday, March 16, 2012. With 98% of our terrain open to all of our guests, you can enjoy a total of 97 trails spread out over 1085 acres. If you've come for Colorado's Best Corduroy, then be sure to take a cruise down the Groomer's Choice for today: Houston. We've got a total of 15 lifts moving skiers and riders up the mountain as quickly as possibly, including four high speed quads with epic views of the Gunnison Valley. If you're looking to get a little terrain park time, head over to the Painter Boy Lift and check out the Cascade Terrain Park. Our Terrain Park features the only superpipe in Southwestern Colorado, and has freestyle terrain features for skiers and riders of all abilities. People are getting crispy out there, so don't forget to slather on some sunblock throughout the day today. You have only a few more days to purchase the Colorado 3 for All Pass, which gives you 3 days of skiing or riding between March 23 and April 8, and November 21 through December 20, 2012. For $177, you can enjoy three days in the Butte this season or next season. There's always excellent skiing and riding here, rarely any lift lines, an entertaining community of locals and views of Paradise like no other. You can purchase the Colorado 3 for All Pass by going to skicb.com/3forall. From what I've heard, this weekend's FestEvol on the mountain is going to be a very good time for locals and visitors alike. This weekend's event on the mountain is jam-packed with live entertainment from the Barenaked Ladies and Pete Kilpatrick Band on Saturday, and Big Head Todd & the Monsters and Guster on Sunday. Tickets for both shows can be purchased for $35 at the Adventure Center. Evol Foods will be serving up delicious, natural and sustainable goodies for you to eat and, as if it needs mentioning, skiing and riding this weekend in the Butte will be good fun for everyone. There is still time to take advantage of unbelievable lodging, lift ticket and concert ticket packages. To learn more about packaging your FestEvol weekend in the Butte, call 1.800.810.7669 or visit skicb.com and click on FestEvol on the Specials link. That's all from me today, ladies and gents. Have a great day out there and I'll see you on the hill.
