    Some butte pics

    Nothing speacial but thought I'd share.

    yet another good weekend with a maggot posse.

    Nice to meet you Telekoptero, sorry we didn't get to make turns.


    ^foggy consults the gnar guide


    ^crested butte rocks


    ^strand finds one


    ^drunk hippies



    ^sir goggles


    ^view of town from the peak

    Definately a fun weekend. It was great to ski a totally new place. Good snow and great weather. Tons of stuff to jump off of and lots of tech-lines. With snow the butte definately meets expectations.

    You don't even have the camera vertical, making it less steep looking. Yeah, the Butte sucks.

    Good times! I hadn't been to Crusty But (in the winter) for about 8yrs. With snow, that place def delivers as much sketchbird as anyone could want. Once you figure it out, it's super easy to get around and ski tons of steeps. Nice pics Hev!

    i need to lean how to not suck at taking pictures. all mine and pretty stupid.

    Hey Hev, where is that "Crested Butte Rocks" pic? Is that the Edge?

    Nice you guys. I kick myself for not going. Repeatedly.

    Foggy, might as well have yours too.

    BZ- I don't think that shot is the edge. Even when I was there a couple of months ago there were fewer rocks.

    Your mad nav skillz would have come in handy. "Turn right in Gunny toward the But" was not enough to avoid a late night tour of the east end of Blue Mesa. You would have enjoyed my absolute dominance of the the inexpensive non-franchise resturant scene. Add to your metal database:

    1.
    Jans in BV - Hearty country cooking with the hardest working 5yo waitress you've ever seen.
    Paradise in CB - $6 loggers breky
    Amica's in Salida - kickass woodfired personal pies

    2. ?

    3. Don't ask me, trail names are for tool. I'm more of a over hear, over there, traverse till it looks good kinda guy.

    1) Nice foggy- way to represent. Paradise is good. On hill the avy brekky is also decent.

    Is Jan's the diner on the W. side as you come into town from Lville? Small counter, small dining room?

    2) Your lame pictures

    3) don't give me that bullshit Mr. I-have-a-name-for-ever-20yd-pitch-of-trees-at-winter-park-mary-jane.

    Nice pics. Butte is a weird looking mountain. From the first pic above it seems like it is off on its own in regards to other mountains. I unfortunately do most of my skiing in the east, but it kinda reminds me of Jay Peak in northern VT. It also looks small - where is all the gnar? On the backside or in areas you can't initially see from the bottom?

    that's bubbas on the way down to elks

    the gnar is litterally everywhere. you can climb the peak and there are lots of stuff over lookers left that is not obvious from the pics.

    jibco, he's pretty new to the board. We'll be at Silverton the 9th and driving up to CB after we're done.

    Bump, I was looking for some CB info and came across this thread and had totally forgotten about his trip.
    .
    Anyhoo, I'm looking for a lodging recommendation. 2 or 3 couples, fairly budget, in town or at the hill. What do you got?

    Hey Foggy. We are frequenting this thread https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...i-stoke-thread

    Don't have a great lodging rec for ya really. I'd recommend checking out VRBO. When are you coming? Hit us up before you do!

    If you're planning on skiing resort sometimes the Grand Lodge condos are a good bet for 4-6 people. Some of the bigger ones have a kitchen and come with a few lift tickets per night's stay.
