Crested Butte adds snow making facilities!
New snowmaking pipes are being installed at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, adding more acreage and more capacity to the East River area.
Enhanced snowmaking will allow the resort to open this area sooner, with better coverage in the early winter season. The resort has also leased a new Prinoth snow groomer, the Bison X,which will maintain one of the state’s best corduroy
Continued renovations at the Paradise Warming House at Crested Butte Mountain Resort have been taking place throughout the summer for the second year in a row. The resort has put more than $200,000 into improving the on-mountain cafeteria; from completely upgrading the food line, to new furniture, an outdoor barbeque, a new bar, carpet and signage.
Crested Butte Mountain Resortwill also introduce its new partnership with Rossignol this season, and the resort’s Rental and Demo Center will utilize Rossignol’s Experience Demo program to aid in the learning process.
