Many moons ago when I moved to Crested Butte, I witnessed my first torchlight parade and winter mountain fireworks. And I haven't missed one since. Tonight is the night for magic on the mountain. When the sun goes down, please join other locals and guests for a true Crested Butte tradition, complete with a torchlight parade followed by fireworks.

If you're not already here ringing in the New Year, we can help you with that. With our Friends and Family Fly Free package, every third airline ticket you purchase is "on the house." Fly nonstop to Gunnison/Crested Butte Airport (GUC) on American Airlines, United Airlines and Continental Airlines from Denver, Dallas or Houston. These free airline tickets are subject to availability and restrictions do apply. This is a screaming deal that you can learn more about by calling Crested Butte Vacations at 1-800-810-7669.

Don't forget to wear a face mask today and stop for lots of hot chocolate breaks! Have a great day and I'll see you on the hill.
