Presidents Weekend in Crested Butte

As I cross the half century day mark on the slopes I had the opportunity to hit Crested Butte Resort this past weekend for Presidents Day Weekend. I enjoyed sharing this adventure with my cousins Kyle and Ian. It was an awesome road trip. I look forward to another road trip with these boys. Here are the pics of our mountain adventure. . .enjoy.

But those Aspens do look tempting, with all that freshie.

Did you bring your snorkel? Looks like you need it, that and a hover board. Haha.

Mt. Crested Butte looking over the cemetery.

Photo bombed while waiting in the lift line. Nice bruh.

Gotta traverse out and up to get to the steeps.

Doesn’t look like you boys are ready to drop in

Back at it for day number three at the Butte.

Nice . . .paying some respect at the on mountain Crested Butte memorial.

Rocky landing point, but fun chute to split wig-its.

RAMBO – Steepest cut run in North America.

Steep & Deep. One for the books for sure.

Crested Butte is an awesome place for those seeking an amazing adventure. Get out here and check it out for yourself.

Loving the pics on the blog.

Thanks for sharing.

That why we started this blog; to share the adventure. Because I know, you can’t always make the trip like this reader . . .

Looks like I missed out on some good skiing!

No doubt. It was a fun one. Question from one reader . . .

How are you skiing?

Some days better than others, but grateful to be out in the mountains doing what I love. Surely, beats watching re-runs of Maury Povitch; any day. Received this one-liner from a day on the slopes with this guy:

Fun times and love it!

Thanks bud. I had a great day with you on the mountain.

SNOW CONDITIONS

It snowed last night, a tad today and more is on the way. Mammoth is still digging out from snow, like 8 feet of it last week. Conditions are great right now. Pretty much every lift and and run is open everywhere. Coverage is great with a very high snow quality in most places. With more snow predicted it’s only gonna continue to get better. Get out on the slopes and check it it.
