What an incredible early season it’s been at Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado. The resort received a total of 86.5 inches season-to-date of which 10 inches fell in the last four days alone, making for some fantastic weekend skiing.
Crested Butte opened two more chairlifts to the public on Sunday, December 10, 2023, increasing the available terrain to more than 360 acres and allowing access to advanced terrain for the first time this season. The Silver Queen Express and Painter Boy chairs opened on the weekend. Silver Queen offers another option for guests out of the base area, and is currently servicing black diamond favorites off the front side such as Upper Keystone, Twister, Jokerville, Cystal and Peoria. Painter Boy Chairlift is now offering access to Splain’s Gulch, which is a great green trail for beginner skiers and riders.
“We are so excited to announce that both Silver Queen Express and Painter Boy Chairlift are now spinning for the season! With the help of Mother Nature, our Mountain Ops teams are continuing to open terrain as safely and quickly as they can, and the skiing & riding is getting SO good! The Umbrella Bar will be open soon for all your dining needs at the top of Painter Boy. Stay tuned for more details, and hit the link in our bio to see all lift & terrain updates in real-time.”
