Crested Butte Mountain Resort

Taking advantage of the free skiing and the recent heavy snowfall, Kate and I took off for a short two-day vacation near the Crested Butte Mountain Restort. Opening up a ski map of the area you will see that many of the runs on the mountain are black diamonds or double black diamonds, which definitely put a smile on my face. However, many of the diamond/double diamond runs were not open yet. At least many of the high elevation runs that, at least for me, looked to be the most interesting. Despite this fact, we were still able to experience a good portion of the mountain and I really enjoyed the “International” black run. Being a bit of speed demon, I was able to race down the face of the mountain for what seemed like a couple of miles at high speed. As for tree runs, I had a difficult time finding them since the trees were so tightly packed. The following are pictures from an afternoon on the slopes (since we drove all morning to reach them):
