Over President's Weekend decided to head South (?), West (?), or some southwesternly direction to Crested Butte. Have pretty much been all over the state of Colorado in some form or fashion. Seen alot of the state but never journeyed to the Butte. Have to admit I'm bummed it has taken me so long to find my way there. What a beautiful Colorado setting. They have gotten tons of snow this winter. We drove through town and it was like the Artic! Snow as high as the roofs with people on the roofs shoveling snow off! The mountain itself was a good little hill. Much more of a hometown feel and more next store neighbor then the corporate over the top feel of resorts in Summit County. I had a great two days of skiing and then nice time in the town itself. Nothing overly expensive...can't wait to see what it looks like in the Summer and even better in the Fall with the leaves changing.
Save the Red Lady - US Energy Corp. owns mining rights for molybdenum on Mount Emmons ("Red Lady") near Crested Butte and as molybdenum prices rise, the town is fighting to prevent a molybdenum mine from being opened.
