Crested Butte, CO
February 23 - March 2, 2019

Our trip to Crested Butte was a resounding success. Trip leader John Lenz got us in and out of Crested Butte without incident and our hotel was superb. John also delivered glorious weather all week, with bright blue skies and great snow, capped off with a foot of fresh powder on the last day.

We were fortunate to have Greg and Shelly Wilson, who live in Kennett Square but winter in Crested Butte, to arrange mountain tours and provide information about the local area. With their advice, assistant trip leader Clare Matis arranged several fun, Après ski happy hours at the Woodstone Grille, Iron Horse Tap, and on the mountain at the Umbrella Bar. Thanks to Tom Neale who suggested the Coal Creek Grille for our incredible group dinner.

Other activities included fat tire biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, taking the shuttle into town, and of course the hot tub. Thanks to Kurt T., Steve W., Steve M. and Jim G. for hosting the leftover party, complete with actual footage of our ski adventures from Jim's GoPro. Good times, good friends, great trip!
