Spring Newsletter This winter, Crested Butte Mountain Resort celebrated 50 years of skiing and it couldn’t have been a more memorable season. From the 2011 Subaru US Freeskiing Championships to College Week and Matthew Shepard Foundation Ski Week; many individuals and groups came to the valley looking to have a great time. With 360” of snowfall to date this season, Mother Nature blessed visitors and locals alike with plenty of the fluffy white stuff. As we transition from snow to wildflowers, Ken Stone, CBMR’s COO, wanted to take the time to highlight some key facts about the resort’s growth this winter and the exciting summer we have ahead. Summer in Crested Butte There is no better time to visit Crested Butte than during the warm and inviting summer months. Summer time brings the Wildflower Rush and Ride the Rockies , as well as many other exciting festivals and events.

Real Estate Market Report With the 1st quarter of 2011 numbers in for the overall Crested Butte market, the year-over-year results continue to show more transactions, a total of 34 up 6% YOY, and lower prices, down 10% YOY. A deeper dive into the numbers show that Mt. Crested Butte is accounting for the uptick with 71% of the total transactions in 2011, up from 54% a year ago. In part this is because Mt. Crested Butte real estate is closely tied to the ski area which is clearly headed in the right direction (see the above letter from Ken Stone, COO of CBMR). Click here to see all that has sold since January 1 - April 6, 2011 in the north end of the valley. As discussed in our last newsletter, March is a very busy month for new contracts in the area.
