Just wanted to share some pics from Crested Butte March 24-28. My friend is a lifty out there and took some time off to host us and ski for 5 days. First four days were variable ice/slush/cream but the last day was a nice 7" of fluff on ice/slush that made everything feel fresh by east coast standards. Got a lot of shit from locals for my enthusiasm for the skiing out there since the snow was terrible by their standards. I really enjoyed the terrain out there. It's well lift serviced, requires a little bit of hiking if you're cool with putting in the work. Cliffy if you want it, steep if you want it, some nice steep tree runs in there too. Tons of fun
If you haven't considered it, or just haven't been there before, Crested Butte is the Real Deal. Very extreme terrain, a nice small town, easily navigable, not too busy, lots of good food, good free bus system.
