Be a Part of Santa Ski History at Crested Butte Mountain Resort
MOUNT CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. (PRWEB) October 24, 2017 -- Help set the World Record for the most skiing Santas at Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) on Dec. 9, 2017. It doesn’t matter if you ski, snowboard or snowblade, all Santas are welcome at the 5th annual Crested Butte Santa Ski.
This year, event organizers hope to break the event’s previously set World Record (in 2015) for the most number of skiers in full Santa costumes — 827 skiing Santas! The best way to kick off the holiday season is with some turns at Crested Butte Mountain Resort and a classic Crested Butte costume party.
This iconic event also features a Santa Pub Crawl option in town and discounted lift tickets for Santas— just $25 — for skiers and riders decked out in a full Santa suit, valid that day only. In order to qualify, participants must wear a red top, red pants, a Santa hat and beard. You can make your own suit, use an old one or purchase one in advance from http://www.cbsantacrawl.com.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort also will offer some very cheerful lodging deals in honor of this year’s event. Stay at the Grand Lodge for $99 per night, or receive 50 percent off all other CBMR-managed lodging (valid Dec. 5-13, 2017). Visit http://www.skicb.com/santa to book.
The group Santa Ski down warming house hill from the Ice Bar starts at 3:30 p.m. and is open to all ages and is free to participants. All you need is a Santa suit and either a season pass or a day pass, available for purchase at Santa Headquarters in the middle level of the Treasury Center.
After the Santa Ski, take the bus to town for the pub crawl portion of the evening, or stay up on the mountain for Light Up Night in the Lodge at Mountaineer Square Courtyard at 5 p.m. Warm up by the fire as Santa sprinkles magic dust on top of the Christmas Tree for the annual Christmas tree lighting. Children will get a chance to have their photos taken with Santa next to the tree afterwards.
