Crested Butte, Colorado 11/5/08 - Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) is enjoying early season
snowfall with the first serious system of the season coming in last night and this morning.
This storm is bringing welcome winter weather to the area dropping approximately four fresh
inches last night, another two to four today, and eight to 16 inches is forecast
over the next two days. These ideal conditions will allowed CBMR to begin snowmaking
operations in the early morning hours of November 5th. Operations are on track for
the coming ski season which kicks off on opening day, November 26th - a mere 21 days
away.

"I am happy to report that snowmaking operations started early in the morning on
Wednesday for the 08-09 season," says Chris Corliss, Mountain Manager for CBMR.
"The weather appeared to switch from fall to winter overnight bringing snow and
cold temperatures making for prime conditions to start the snowmaking process. While
there is going to be plenty of snow from Mother Nature, we can sure help out with
the base. We will be concentrating our efforts on Lower keystone to Warming House
Hill and the Red Lady Lift to start. With the help of the Muellers' recent
investment in snowmaking equipment and infrastructure, we are expecting some great
results."

With new snow predicted and improved snowmaking capabilities, early season skiing
should be spectacular this year. Don't miss opening day on November 26th, 2008.
