Crested Butte is one of my favorite romatic getaways. It is a bit longer drive than a jot up I-70, but it is well worth it. The snow this year is absolutlely fantastic. While Denver has gotten pasted with two snowstorms in a two week period, the mountains have claimed a lot of this snow as well which makes for great skiing and boarding. I love to ride the fresh powder. There is no better place to do this than the slopes in Crested Butte. The people there are very friendly. You do not get the snobbish glares that you receive in Aspen or Vail. I have many nice conversations with people on the lifts, in the stores, the restaurants, and even the gas station.

 

Of course, after a long day of riding I truly enjoy visiting the spa. There is nothing like a nice massage a sit in the sauna after a day of skiing. The massage works out all of the sore kinks and the sauna warms the muscles and the toes and fingers.
