Ski FREE is back! (Crested Butte)
I just got this from my boss in the marketing department (Pray for early snow, then it's worth it):
Mt. Crested Butte, CO--You have always heard that nothing is "free", well, they lied. Skiing and riding is absolutely, positively, incredibly, 100 percent FREE, with no strings attached at Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) from November 25 through December 15, 2007.
CBMR will once again be giving away lift tickets for three weeks. You don't have to enter anything, buy anything, do any fancy dance steps or answer any trivia questions to be able to ski or ride Crested Butte Mountain for FREE. All you need to do is go to the ticket office during these days and one of CBMR's cheerful ticketing specialists will smile, give you a lift ticket and send you to the slopes to ski or ride for FREE. Just come on down and enjoy the great product that our mountain has to offer.
"We want guests to come 'test drive' Crested Butte," said Randy Barrett, Vice President and General Manager. "We have done so many improvements since the Mueller's took the helm; we want to show them off. Everyone will be able to see and sample Colorado's Best Corduroy(tm) and our commitment to great early season skiing and riding, all for FREE!"
The former "Ski Free" promotion, the most successful ski industry-wide program ever, ran from 1991 through 2000.

Man, I pretty much got run out of town a few times trying to car camp for ski-free. The local cops were MILITANT. (And the Telluride plates probably didn't help)

So is this one day for free, or can you come down for a long weekend and ski multiple days for free?
I'm guessing the first one..._____________________

I think that actually happened one year. Usually, there's nothing but man-made and then free-ski is just scary and crowded. All I can say is that they better have a passholder line like they used to.

That is great news. I went to the last few years of the end of season free skiing and it was easily some of the best road trips I have been on. Hopefully this is successful for them and they add the end of season.

I was there for that in 96. Good times.
Telluride opened with a 100" base that year, IIRC. We had already been riding up Sneffels, Ophir, etc.
GREAT year.

Cool. Worth checking out.
Since it's free, we could do a early season summit and rent out some huge chateau or something for a weekend and do summit-related shit sans death metal rioting.
