Announcements
Good Morning everyone! I know you've been enjoying all the fresh powder conditions on the Mountain just as much as we have, and the good news is, it's not over yet. Skies will be clear throughout the day but you can expect more snow to fall by tomorrow. I'm happy to report that we received three new inches of snow in the last 24 hours, 8 new inches in the last 48 hours and 59 inches in the last seven days! That brings our total natural snow depth up to 71 inches! That's alot of snow! The conditions on the Mountain this morning will be powder and packed powder with clear skies and calm winds out of the North.

Today's weather will be BEAUTIFUL with highs in the the mid twenties. You can expect similar temperatures over the next seven days with 100 percent chance of snow tomorrow and partly cloudy skies expected to last throughout the weekend and well into next week. There's plenty of powder stashes on the Mountain, but if you enjoy the groomers,take a run on International because it is our groomer's choice for today.

Looking for something fun and adventurous to do with the family or that special someone? Enjoy a truly unique dining experience where half the fun is getting there. Ride in an open sleigh pulled by a snowcat to the backside of the mountain, and there you will dine at the Rustica Ristorante in Paradise Warming House. Enjoy a tantalizing four-course dinner featuring a full bar and handpicked wine list to complement the evening. Then bundle up afterwards to take the sleigh back to the base area. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 800-810-7669. If you are already in town, call 970-349-2222.

If you are thinking of venturing into Crested Butte for a night out on the town, you absolutely can't miss out on the one and only Slogar Bar and Restaurant! Serving spectacular skillet-fried chicken dinners and grilled steaks, the Slogar uses a recipe famous for great flavor since 1915. Hospitality at the historic Slogar includes family-style service in comfortable and unique Victorian surroundings. Enjoy the generous portions and the modest price of the Slogar's sensational skillet-fried chicken served with mashed potatoes, creamed corn, biscuits, and ice cream for dessert. The Slogar serves dinner daily from 5-9pm. A full bar and wine list are available, so don't miss out on this truly unique and delicious, dining experience!

Don't forget to take the time today to enjoy the specatacular views from our majestic Mountain! Enjoy the powder and be mindfull of any areas closed by ski patrol for maintenance.
