A lovely Friday morning, skiers and riders of Crested Butte Mountain Resort! Today is Friday, January 20th, 2012, and boy has it been a great week! Fifteen inches of snow have fallen this week AND more is expected to fall throughout the weekend. Light snow is currently falling and you can expect this to continue with temperatures reaching the mid 30's.

Take in the breath taking views from any of the 10 lifts that are spinning, leading you to 65 diverse and exciting trails, 47 of which have been perfectly groomed. Upper Keystone has been named the groomer's choice for the day and can be accessed by the Silver Queen Lift. Thanks to the entire mountain crew, 69% of the entire mountain is open, including 80% of beginner and intermediate terrain, as well as 43% of advanced terrain. Whether it's Colorado's best corduroy you're after or soft bumps, the fluffy 36 inch base is skiing and riding beautifully throughout the entire mountain!
