Good morning skiers and riders of Crested Butte Mountain Resort! Today is Friday, January 6th, 2012 and what a way to end the work week! With mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the upper 30's, you're sure to end the day with a smile. Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow and lasting through Saturday, so keep doing that snow dance! On top of great weather, the skiing and riding is just as wonderful as 73% of the mountain is open, including 93% of beginner and intermediate terrain, and 54% of advanced terrain. Twelve lifts are spinning and will comfortably lead you to 59 diverse trails, 30 of which have been groomed to perfection by the diligent groomers, who recommend Upper Ruby as their groomer's choice. If you're up for something a bit different, why not take a chance in one of the three terrain parks that are open, that include features and jumps for any level of jibber? These parks include the Keystone Jib Park, the Painter Boy Park, and the Cascade Terrain Park, which houses the incredibly built Super Pipe. Whether it's Colorado's best corduroy you're after or some tricks and jumps in the park, Crested Butte has it all!

If you're looking for something relaxing to do after a stellar day on the slopes, why not check out the documentary Hood to Coast, premiering tonight at 8:00 pm at the Center for the Arts.
