Special Announcements
Blue bird skies, new snow, and new terrain make it the perfect day to grab the gear and head to the hill! This is your friendly Powder Hound fetching up the know from Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Friday, December 21, 2012. We’ve had 6 inches of the fresh stuff in the last 48 hours and 32 inches in the last 7 days, leaving us with a beauty base measurement of 40 inches. With Silver Queen and Gold Link cranking up this AM, we now have 9 lifts spinning to drop you on 64 killer trails, 39 of which are groomed to corduroy perfection. That works up to be 443 acres of shreddable terrain and more lines to drop as the weekend continues! 71% of the mountain is now open with 66% being beginner and intermediate and 79% being advanced. Look for the East River lift to spark to life on Sunday giving opportunities for even more riding enjoyment. An extra layer will come in handy this morning until the temps reach the expected high of 33*F. Be sure to take a few laps on Upper Park, as the Groomers say it is packing the sweets today!
