Crested Butte’s marquee annual youth ski race will bring Colorado’s top U14 alpine ski racers to Crested Butte. The Prater Cup is always a blast for competitors, their families and fans alike. Look for some high-speed skiing and tons of fun as these athletes look to qualify for the Rocky Central team and the chance of beating out their competitors in the annual Nations Cup team event. Not only is each competitor racing for their own points, but they are also divided up into 16 different Nations in order to meet new friends and promote sportsmanship.

The chairlifts start spinning for another season of lift-served biking, hiking, disc golf and archery at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Hikers utilize both the Red Lady Express and Silver Queen lifts for access to astonishing views and trails. Bikers can utilize the bike load on the Red Lady Express lift to transport their bikes up and save their legs for the downhill.

Help Crested Butte set the World record for the most skiing Santas! Once again Crested Butte Mountain Resort is hosting its 6th annual “Santa Ski and Crawl” in hopes of breaking their World Record for the most number of skiers, boarders, and bladers in full Santa costumes. It doesn’t matter if you ski, snowboard or snowblade – all Santas are welcome.

The Santa Ski is open to all ages and is free to participate in. All you need is a Santa suit and either a season pass or a lift ticket for the day. Discounted Santa lift tickets are available at Crested Butte Rental Center in the middle level of the Treasury Center. Participants must be decked out in a full Santa suit in order to be in the group Santa Ski at 3:30 PM.

You can hit the slopes for only $40 if you’re in a full Santa Suit that day! Santa suits must have a top, bottom, hat and beard in order to qualify. You can make your own suit, use an old one or purchase one in advance from cbsantacrawl.com.
