Crested Butte Gears Up For The 2010-2011 Season!!

With a dusting of snow already fallen and the resorts and hotels filling their reservation books, it is apparent that prime skiing and snowboarding season is well on its way to Crested Butte. This 2010-2011 Season, Crested Butte Mountain Resort is going to rock your world. With a 50 year anniversary to celebrate, CBMR has enhanced, added, and built-upon its operations. See below for everything you have to look forward to this season.

- The Resort is making way for some easier terrain (with no intention of easing up on its challenging terrain) by expanding tree-skiing options, thereby expanding its intermediate terrain.

- Freestyle park pod - a literal playground allowing skiers the ability to seamlessly progress from one park to the next.

- New NASTAR race arena on the Canaan Trail

- 10 new high efficiency tower guns, the result of $40,000 NSAA Grant

- Increased snowmaking capabilities, allowing for earlier terrain openings and a better late season base

- $400,000 in improvements and enhancements to the Treasury Center base lodge - more seating, expanded skier services, and extensive renovations to the Lodge's restaurants.

- Adventure Park additions that include a mini golf course during the summer season which converts to an ice skating rink during the winter season with weatherproof dome. Other features of the Park include bungee trampolines and a climbing tower that are open all year round.

With all of those updates to show off, the Crested Butte Mountain Resort is happy to offer some amazing deals to get people in the door.

50/50 Package: 50% off lift tickets and $50/person for each night of lodging. Available from November 23th - December 16th.

Family and Friends Fly Free: Book a Crested Butte vacay for three or more people, and every third airline ticket is free. Maximum travel credit is $400/airline ticket and each reservation is limited to three free airline tickets.
