Good morning skiers and riders! It's another POWDER Morning here in Crested Butte with 8 inches of fresh snow on the Mountain just waiting for you to come up and carve! It looks like we're going to see plenty more snow before the day is over because the forecast is calling for a 100% chance of precipitation. Snow showers are expected to continue tomorrow and last through the weekend! So don't waste any time getting up to the Mountain today because you'll be making turns on all that fresh Colorado Powder!

With over 16 inches of new snowfall in the last 7 days, the skiing and riding this Spring has been, and continues to be fantastic! Crested Butte Mountain Resort has 1155 skiable acres open giving you access to 99 trails of a number of different skiing and riding levels. Seventy two of those trails have been meticulously groomed by our hard working grooming team. If you find that powder skiing is not your cup of tea, then take a run down Jokerville because it is our groomers choice for today!

You'll find plenty of great runs on the hill today, no matter what your skill level is. With 89% of beginner and intermediate terrain open, 100% of advanced terrain open, and 92% of our famous extreme terrain open, Crested Butte Mountain Resort has something for everyone! You can access any of the terrain on the Mountain today by hopping on any one of the 11 lifts running. Keep in mind that the Peachtree, Mountain School, Prospect, Twister, and Teocalli lifts will be closed for the rest of the season, however; the Twister lift will reopen for the last weekend on April 4th and 5th.

Well Spring is in full swing here in Crested Butte and there are tons of great deals and big adventures to be had! For the rest of the month of March you can double the adventure and double the luxury when you book two nights at the Elevation Hotel and buy two days of lift tickets. Crested Butte Mountain Resort will throw in an additional two nights accommodation and two days of skiing for FREE! The friendly folks at Crested Butte Vacations will be happy to assist you with information or booking and can be reached by calling 800 810 7669.

If you are looking for something extra special and extra adventurous to do this Spring, then wait till you hear this! At Crested Butte Mountain Resort you can learn how to drive a Snowcat! That's right! Come join us for the Ultimate Crested Butte Snowcat Driving Experience! Participants will learn the basics of driving snowcats, grooming, and pushing snow. That sounds like a lot of fun to me! Classes will run twice daily at 10 am and 2 pm four days a week for the rest of the ski season.
