Good morning everyone! This is Colorado's very own Snow Betty with the snow report for Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Tuesday, December 22, 2009. The skiing and riding are too much fun right now at Crested Butte, especially with all those skiing Santas on the hill. Ride 13 out of our 16 lifts to a total of 84 open trails adding up to a grand total of 554 acres of adventure. Our expert grooming team has perfected the art of Colorado's Best Corduroy and are offering up 77 groomed trails, including today's Groomer's Choice, Keystone. If you want to feel festive and ski or ride at one of the few Colorado resorts that is already 85% open, come see us in Crested Butte. 100% of our beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain is now open, and the Ski Patrol and snow packers are getting in shape out there while stomping out the Extremes. This terrain will open as soon as it's safe for the rest of us. So far this season, we have had 90 inches of that white stuff, with more to come over the next three days. What are you waiting for? Call the friendly folks at Crested Butte Vacations to make your reservations now to get the best package deals for the right price. Call 1-800-810-7669 to hear all about our selection of lodging, airfare and lift ticket pacakages. If you're already here, you should know that the hot, new place to visit on the mountain is The Ice Bar at Uley's Cabin, located slope side at the base of the Twister Lift. It's a great spot to take in the naturally beautiful landscape surrounding our Butte while sipping on handcrafted cocktails and gourmet lunch of upscale Colorado Cuisine by Chef Leo Novak and his talented staff. You can't miss this if you're skiing around on the mountain...stop in and enjoy just one of the finer sides of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. You've probably heard about and seen the new Adventure Park at the base area of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Well, here's the lowdown.The Adventure Park has year-round ice-skating, bungee trampolines, a climbing wall and a new lift served tubing hill. The Adventure Park is open daily from 2 pm-5 pm, with the Skating Rink open until 6 pm. That's plenty of time to entertain the kids before you head to dinner in the evening. You can upgrade your regular lift ticket to an Adventure Ticket for only $11 a day. Purchase your tickets from the Adventure Center at Mountaineer Square any time throughout the day and let us entertain your kids for the afternoon. Have a great day out there. This is the Snow Betty signing off- I'll see you on the hill.
