I just wanted to reach out to you all as we approach the end of what has truly been a season to remember. Nearly 25’ of snow to date and open wall to wall, top to bottom for the first time since putting Teo II in the mix a few years ago. As we roll into the spring season, I wanted to help inform you of some of the challenges that the patrol faces with managing terrain on the mountain and dispel any unfounded rumors out there.

 As evidenced by the rapidly diminishing snowbanks in town and the re-emergence of long buried bikes/ cars/ kids toys etc., it has been unseasonably warm the...

We’re in the final days here at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, and as per usual, we’re going out with a bang.  So grab your best costume and let’s get ready for a weekend chock-full of events.

Saturday April 2

Kick off your Saturday with the Base Area Rail Jam starting at 12pm!  Participants can register for $10 on the Butte 66 deck at 11am (Choice Pass holders register for free!), and spectators can grab a cold one on the Butte 66 deck and watch from above, or get up close to the action right in the base area. 

At 2pm, get ready for a closing weekend...

At midnight on March 25, 400 racers in teams of 2 will set off from the base area of Crested Butte Mountain Resort to embark on an overnight, 40 mile journey through the snowy backcountry to the slopes of Aspen Resort in the annual GORE-TEX® Grand Traverse (GT).  It sounds like a grueling adventure of epic proportions, and it is.  Tonight will mark the 8th GT for pro-trail runner and ski-mountaineer (skimo for short), Stevie Kremer.  In anticipation for the race, we’ve been discussing all things GT over the month of March.  In the...

Join us tomorrow, Saturday March 19, in the base area concert venue (also where mini-golf is located) for our annual Skitown Breakdown, featuring KT Tunstall!  With popular songs like “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Suddenly I See,” KT’s music is both familiar and unique.  KT wowed the crowd at our sister resort's spring concert series, Okemo SugarDaze, last weekend, and is sure to do the same tomorrow. Doors open at 3:00 pm, with opening acts at 3:15 pm, followed by KT, so get there after a day of skiing or riding for a perfect après treat!  Admission is free!...
