Scenic appeal, the mountain looks beautiful. Great for locals with snowmobiles/skins.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool place to be. At least they didn't keep going with the Pioneer location, where CO's first lift was located. That area (near CB South) gets no snow at all. The conditions stay remarkably good, too, with all the N facing terrain- even without a ton of snow. If CB faced S and E like Monarch, it would suck so bad.

Most of all, 600 acres of private land at the base of the mountain, which now makes up the town of Mt Crested Butte.

If anyone is having a lazy Sunday morning, Brittany interviewed the son of the founder of CBMR, and there is a lot of interesting stuff there: https://14erskiers.com/blog/2014/11/...utte-ski-area/

Thank you for that. Was starting to think there was too much Saban effect on this storm.

If money were no object, CB is probably my second choice town to move to. Possibly first, depending on mood.

I'd choose Revelstoke or a dozen other places in BC over anywhere in CO. Just need to figure out the whole Canadian residency thing.

I remember back in the day Rob and I skied Monarch when we had free passes and spent the entire day trying find somewhere to get enough speed to make a turn.

Okay, just the morning then we went to the bar.

Bunch of obs up on the CAIC site. Primarily human triggered including Russell North Chute and Y Chute at Berthoud, a big chunk of South Diamond Peak at Cameron.

This storm is a dud. NOAA keeps extending this BS warning only to be bitch slapped in the face.

**goldenboy** · 11-28-2016, 06:15 PM

Not a dud here.

Are you vying to replace Montanaskier?

"We would have gotten 2-4 feet of snow from this storm if you deduct the 3.5 feet that didn't actually fall" @realdonaldtrumpweather

Wolf Creek Pass doesn't look too bad.

I was talking to one of the guys from CAIC this morning and we speculated that some were accidental and some were intentional, but all human triggered to my knowledge
