Check CBMR’s Press Release, we think there are some pretty decent benefits at other resorts down below, like 3 days at the Trestle Bike Park and 3 days at Powder Alliance resorts. It goes without saying but we’ll say it again, the $600 price tag is still freaking awesome!

Pass Protection Program
The new Crested Butte Pass Protection Program is designed to reimburse pass holders, if they are faced with an unforeseen circumstance at any point during the season. Reimbursements will be requested through the Pass Protection office and will only be accepted with proper documentation. Pass Protection can be purchased at the time of pass purchase and up to 30 days after the initial purchase or before the first day of the season, whichever comes first. The cost is 6% of the purchase price, including tax. For full program details visit www.skicb.com/passprotection.
“Knowing that people find themselves in situations that are out of their control, where they are no longer able to ski or ride, we wanted to create a program that gives them an opportunity for pass reimbursement,” states Ethan Mueller, vice president and general manager. “We realize that buying a pass is a large investment. We hope that this will give those folks a comfort level in their purchase.”
More information on all Crested Butte Mountain Resort passes can be found at www.skicb.com/seasonpass or by calling the Pass Office at 970-349-2211.
