Crested Butte Mountain Resort’s 09/10 Improvements

Hello from Crested Butte,

Under the new ownership of CNL lifestyle properties, with the Muellers still at the operational helm, Crested Butte Mountain Resort has improvements slated for the coming season that include a remodel of the popular Ice Bar. The transformation will double the size of the existing restaurant, increasing capacity while maintaining the simple, intimate setting.

In addition, the resort has added a new base area Adventure Park for year-round play. The Adventure Park features an eco-friendly synthetic “ice” skating rink, bungee trampolines and a climbing wall, as well as a multi-lane, lift-served tubing hill for the winter. The lift-served tubing hill is located on warming house hill in front of the Crested Mountain condominium complex, in the area previously occupied by the adult learning area (which has moved to the same location as the children’s learning area), the Tubing Hill will be re-graded featuring a new tow lift and multiple tubing lanes. FUN!

The ice skating rink, made from Super-Glide synthetic ice, was recycled from the American Museum of Natural History in New York where it was part of a display on climate change.

The Crested Butte Ski and Ride School boasts a new beginner learning area for the upcoming season. The current kids’ area will be re-graded and expanded to include beginners of all ages. Both adult and children’s ski school lessons will operate out of the same area.
