IT’S DUMPING IN CRESTED BUTTE

January storm blankets Crested Butte with more than 40 inches of snow

Crested Butte, CO—Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) is getting "dumped on" by this early January storm that has blanketed the resort with 40 inches of snow 48 hours. The mountain has seen five feet of snow since the beginning of the New Year! The skiing and riding in Crested Butte continues to be the best in the Rocky Mountains!

"We continue to be in the top tier of snow for the Rocky Mountains. We had 120 inches of snow in December and now with the New Year bringing another five feet, the skiing and riding is incredible," said Ken Stone, CBMR's Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "Thanks to the hard work and diligence of our Mountain Operations and Ski Patrol, guests are able to carve up the powder on 100 percent of our terrain."

With more than187 inches this winter, the entire mountain is open and in magnificent shape. Epic skiing and riding can be enjoyed by all abilities on 121 runs. For our expert skiers and riders, the Extreme Limits, including the famous Spellbound /Phoenix, Third and Teocalli Bowls are now open. Crested Butte boasts “Colorado’s Best Corduroy™”, but today we are claiming “Colorado’s Best Powder”!

"Powderlicious" is the word of the Year at Crested Butte!
