Happy 100th day, of powder that is! That's right Crested Butte Mountain Resort has hit the 100 inch mark already on this Tuesday, the 23rd of December, making this the biggest powder day to date this year! It is clear that Santa came early this year and read my wish list as he has dumped a foot and a half-18 inches of snow in the past 24 hours making the season total a whopping 103 inches and it's only December!! Not only that but 20 inches has fallen in the past 48 hours and more than 4 feet has come down in the past 7 days! Now this is the meaning of a Happy Holiday Season! Thanks to not only Mother Nature, but also the groomers, snow makers and ski patrol, now 96% of the mountain is open in 610 acres of skiing and riding terrain, 481 of which are groomed. 13 out of 16 lifts are running quickly and smoothly, giving you access to 81 wonderful trails. There's still more unbelievable news...snow is in the forecast through the rest of the week with temperatures remaining in the mid teens! Sunny skies are expected to pay Crested Butte a visit on Saturday, and then snow returns on Sunday. What an unbeatable forecast for the holidays! While making some great turns in the fantastic powder, don't feel bad taking a break at one of the many eateries located both on and off the mountain. From BBQ at Butte 66 to burgers and fries at Paradise Warming House to a longer sit down meal at 9380 the new restaurant located in the Elevation Hotel, there are a plethora of places to stop and satisfy your tastebuds, no matter what you may be looking for.
