Starting last Friday, the Crested Butte Backcountry has been getting pounded with intermittent storms, leaving almost 2 feet of fresh powder in some places ! To start off President’s Weekend, CBMG Owner/Guide, Jayson Simons-Jones arrived fresh off a trip to the winter wonderland of the East Coast to find himself in waist deep champagne powder in the Kebler Pass Area outside Crested Butte. Here are some pics from the week….

Then the beginning of this week brought classic Colorado sunny blue skies and beautiful backcountry powder skiing. With CBMG having a few different trips taking guests out into the Crested Butte backcountry to enjoy all the fresh turns to be had.

John Dugenske, a CB second home-owner, and fresh off the plane with his family from Chicago, joined CBMG Guide JSJ for 3 laps out at Coney’s, and got “some of the best powder skiing of my life”  in.

The Page’s, from the Colorado Front Range joined CBMG Guide, Steve Banks, for an overnight backcountry hut tour to the posh and relaxing Maroon Cabin in Gothic, CO, for 2 days of powder skiing, getting away from the bustle of the ski slopes and everyday worries of the ‘plugged-in’ life.

Tuesday, Shane Murphy, joined us from Boulder, CO, for another beautiful bluebird powder day out at Coney’s again, with CBMG Guides JSJ & Chris Benson, for 2,000+’ of classic Colorado backcountry skiing !

The end of this week and again this weekend, Crested Butte is poised to get pounded by another significant looking winter storm, which will hit the ‘reset button’ on the backcountry and we will be getting out there to do it all over again. Now is the time to join us for a great Colorado backcountry ski tour, and with the US Freeskiing Championships taking place on Crested Butte Mountain Resort with a large contingent of local athletes competing and spectating, the Crested Butte backcountry will be in prime condition with no crowds! Call to book your trip today….
