It was -1 degree this morning in town, and definitely time to think about winter. There is some Nordic skiing up at Lily Lake that is pretty good! I've been a few times in the last couple of weeks and they are getting close to grooming it. I'd say the drive on Kebler is about the worst part since the road is very rutted and uneven - go slowly!
I think everyone in Crested Butte has their usual excitement about the oncoming ski season, especially this year with the change in management on the mountain and considering the low snow year we had last year. Hopefully Vail Resorts will bring a much needed capital boost and correct some of the latent deferred maintenance and upkeep issues. The snow on the ground already seems to be greater than what we saw last year, and it's been cold enough for snowmaking on the mountain. I can't remember us having many negative degree days last year, so even though it's only November, the cold weather is welcome.
I hope it's a great season and that we have plentiful snowfall that fills up the lakes here this summer!
