New for 2010-2011 coming this fall... Over $315 million has been
invested in on- and off-mountain improvements and amenities at Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) since Tim and Diane Mueller purchased the ski area in 2004.
Improvements at CBMR for the coming winter season include: a complete remodel of the beloved Ice Bar on-mountain restaurant; the addition of a new base area Adventure Park complete with year-round synthetic ice rink, bungee trampolines, and a climbing wall; installation of a lift-served tubing hill; the addition of a new combined beginner learning area for children and adults.
The Ice Bar restaurant remodel will nearly double the size of the existing space increasing the capacity to 63 in the dining room, 12-15 in the lounge and 20 at the outside bar. The existing deck will also be expanded. The new design of the restaurant will feature a simple, subtle and understated feel with rustic undertones and an intimate setting. The building will be completed in November 2009. Serving gourmet lunches of upscale regional American Cuisine with French influences and exotic drinks at a bar made completely out of ice, CBMR's Ice Bar is a one-of-a-kind on-mountain experience. Sip on a
specialty beverage at the end of the day on the large sunny deck, and enjoy the beautiful vistas. The Ice Bar is located on the mountain at the base of the Twister Lift and is open for lunch and evening Last
Tracks dinners - a gourmet meal followed by skiing or riding down the mountain after dark. Sleighride Dinners will also be operated out of the Ice Bar this coming season. Reservations required for Last Tracks and Sleighride dinners and recommended for lunch.
New this year, CBMR introduces the base area Adventure Park complete with year-round ice-skating, bungee trampolines and a climbing wall. The bungee trampolines provide a turbo-charged, gravity-defying ride up to 30 feet in the air, while the Climbing Pinnacle features a 28-foot, 6-route tower with auto-belay. The Adventure Park will be open year-round.
The resort will add a lift-served tubing hill to the Adventure Park scene for winter. Located on warming house hill in front of the Crested Mountain condominium complex, in the area previously occupied by the adult learning area (which has moved to the same location as the children's learning area), the Tubing Hill will be re-graded featuring a new tow lift and multiple tubing lanes.
