Blue Bird Skiing

Skier: Jack Weise

Everyone who lives in Crested Butte and any of the lucky visitors who have been here to witness it know that our mountain is a magical place to be on a powder day. Stoke is tangible in the morning line up and the day is a constant stream of hoots, hollers, high fives, and snow-caked smiling faces.

To me, though, the real magic of Crested Butte is the grace with which it handles an immense high pressure ridge like the one that is currently parked over Colorado. Sure, no one is trying to argue the merits of perfect Colorado bluebird days, but it is the snow quality after a week of dry weather that amazes me most. Since the storm wrapped up last weekend, the skiing has gotten better and better. The rocks are either well covered or easily visible (and avoidable), the extremes are buffed smooth, and the snow remains perfectly chalky and edgeable. Somehow the combination of our mostly north-facing terrain and our dry Rocky Mountain snow means that the bulk of our terrain never gets icy. Instead, it turns into what we call "chalk pack" and stays that way, not getting any harder or more difficult to ski, until the next storm rolls through.
