The Year of the Season Pass

Good day from Crested Butte!

The snow keeps falling in Crested Butte. After an incredible December – over 8 feet of snow fell on our ski mountain – 2008 has brought us an additional 56 inches of snow over the last week. Our base is 71 inches and counting! View the complete snow and ski report here. If there was ever a time to own a gold pass this is it. The powder skiing has been absolutely amazing!

The skier visits for December were remarkable too. The Ski Free promotion brought visitors from all over the place and then our great ski conditions bolstered big holiday skier traffic. Lets face it, skiers and snowboarders watch the weather as much as anyone and when Crested Butte started reporting huge powder totals the bookings into our ski resort spiked. Here are some totals from the holiday season.

Thursday, 12-20 2,839 skiers and snowboarders
