It snowed yesterday as if nature was celebrating town putting the bike racks out on Elk Avenue. However, it is sunny and beautiful again today; surprise! A bunch of locals can’t wait for some lift-served downhill action. On Friday, CBMR announced the following on their Facebook page:
“Great news! Summer will be arriving early at Crested Butte Mountain Resort! We will be opening the Red Lady Express for the weekend of June 9 and 10. The hours of operation will be 9:30 am to 5 pm. In addition, zipline tours will run from 9:30 am to 5 pm. Mini golf and bike rentals will be available starting at 9 am both days.
Daily summer lift operations begin on Saturday, June 16, 2012 with the Red Lady Express and the Silver Queen Express lifts. The Silver Queen will be open from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm daily, weather permitting. The Red Lady will be open from 9:30 am to 5 pm daily, but will remain open Wednesdays and Fridays until 7 pm, weather permitting.

Does this make up for CBMR taking away winter employees’ summer passes?
