Officials at Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) have confirmed that the Colorado ski area’s acreage will grow by nearly one-third this coming winter, but not for the reasons that one might suspect.
Long-time East Coast skiers may recall the day many years ago that Killington, Vt.’s trail count tripled overnight — without felling a single tree — by simply segmenting trails into “Upper,” “Middle” and “Lower” portions. While CBMR’s announcement of its remarkable growth on Wednesday is far less egregious, it’s not the result of any new terrain being added to the trail map.
While developing maps and analyzing terrain in concert with the resort’s Master Development Plan (MDP) process with the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forest District, resort planners confirmed that the ski area has 380 additional acres of skiable terrain throughout many gladed areas within bounds. The finding brings CBMR’s skiable acreage to a total of 1,547 acres; previously claiming 1,167 acres of skiable terrain throughout the resort.
