Too bad Phrosty's gone.


Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, every day I'm out there.

Damn, people don't enjoy Crested Butte?

Don't go there expecting to ski park, not worth it. Last season they only had a handful of tables and a decent pipe.

Luckily, that's not why you should head there. Crested Butte has some of the best steeps/ trees/ drops/ etc. to be found. You just HAVE to hit it on a powder day, otherwise it's simply trecherous.

I've had the best days of my life at the Butte. No crowds ever, and amazingly good with fresh snow. Just keep your fingers crossed

^As I mentiond, don't go there to ski park. Waste of time.

Last season there was one 20 foot table, one rail and the halfpipe. There was another park, but with ridiculously small hits, like 5 footers,a couple short rails and a decent C box.

Go there for the big mountain! forget the park at CB

If you are coming to CB for riding park then you might as well not come. Steeps, trees, cliff hucks.....thats where it's at. Fredo's, Headwall, Phenix/Spellbound.....that's where you wanna be inbounds. As for backcountry.....it's goin' off from now through may. Irwin, Paradise Divide, the Anthracites....get a sled or some AT bindings and you're set.
