We keep getting snow here in Crested Butte, and we’re off to one of our best starts in years. The Silver Queen lift is expected to open this Friday, while East River is scheduled to open on Saturday. These openings are far ahead of the timetable we’ve had the past couple of seasons. Year to Date snowfall is already roughly 70″! If you’ve been waiting for a good snow year to visit Crested Butte and search property, this may be the year. My truck is buried!:
