I have been in Crested Butte for about a week now. Professional skier Matt Philippi and I drove down after our session in Cooke city. We struck gold this time in Crested Butte, it snowed about 3 feet during the first two days then the clouds cleared and left us with beautiful sunshine and deep snow! However, being this late in the season, when the sun comes out it warms things up quick making for heavy snow and dangerous conditions. Luckily this place has tons of good lines on North facing aspect which are more sheltered from the strong spring sun offering us some incredible snow. Matt stuck around for four days, then had to head back home to Salt Lake, I have been here for over a week now and the temps are starting to get pretty high. Its been 50 degree down low for the past two days which means its time for me to head back to Jackson and meet up with Taylor and Toph. Unfortunately the resort is closed for the season but we should be sled skiing for a while as long as the weather cooperates.
