    Crested Butte Teo II Expansion Approved

    http://crestedbuttenews.com/2019/06/usfs-publishes-final-approval-for-teo-2-expansion-project/ Approval is a big deal but no timeline yet. I hope Vail is able to move forward with this rapidly. I love Crested Butte but have often scratched it due when traveling with non-expert skiers. This...

    Least crowded Epic resort at Christmas?

    I'm trying to figure out what the least crowded resorts on the Epic pass at Christmas time would be (Note: the 3 that I list below are the ones that I'm interested in. And yes, I know that the BC resorts (Kicking Horse, Fernie, and Kimberly) would be a lot less crowded. We skied Kicking Horse at...

    Colorado Crested Butte, Monarch or Breck

    We are going to try to sneak another trip in before our spring break trip with the kids. Having EPIC pass, we would like to try to go that route. Our fear is that Early spring break crowd. So we have all but eliminated I-70, since it will be over the weekend. We typically go to Monarch a couple...

    Castle Joining Powder Alliance, Crested Butte out.

    http://www.skicastle.ca/passes/#1478703763955-c8f266f8-9397 Nice addition to the group. Any member season pass gets you 3 midweek days at each of the 14 other resorts. CB is a great mountain, but having gone Epic and staying in Mt. Collective, made sense for them to leave. The Castle page...

    Colorado Is Crested Butte worth going at all?

    For non-expert skiers, that is. Reason I ask is I'll be at Frisco for 3 1/2 weeks. It's easy enough to do an overnighter to Crested Butte. And it's included in my MAX pass. Everyone know about Crested Butte as the expert's paradise. The question is, what about the rest of us who aren't...

    Crested Butte or Heavenly

    Does anyone have any thoughts about going to Crested Butte in late January or Heavenly in mid February? I'm 61 years old and a pretty fair skier. The trips are the same price except I already have an epic pass so no lift tickets in Heavenly. I've never skied the sierras and don't have any...
