Crested Butte Mountain Resort
Improvements for the 2004-2005 season
  

  • The new Prospect Lift will be installed this summer, adding five new trails and 15 intermediate acres to the mountain's terrain. This lift will access the new ski-in/ski-out Prospect real estate development and carry skiers from Prospect to the top of Goldlink and Painter Boy Lifts. The development provides unspoiled beauty and solitude that make it extraordinary, yet, with the lift addition, homeowners will have convenient access to the ski slopes.
  • The North Face Poma platter lift accessing Crested Butte's "Extreme Limits" terrain will be replaced with a t-bar, making the lift more "user-friendly".
  • An extension will be made to the Adult Magic Carpet increasing the size of the first-time teaching area, which will increase the number of first time lesson capabilities and improve the first timer experience.
  • Four new Bombardier snow cats will join the fleet to increase Crested Butte's statement as "Colorado's Best Corduroy".
  • Increased snowmaking (pending forest service approval)
  • Expanding snowmaking on International for the first time ever. International, a popular "navy blue" run (advanced intermediate) will be groomed nightly next year.
  • New Zaugg (super pipe cutter) to offer a new superpipe for next season.**
  • Paradise warming house will undergo a major "face-lift"
