Skiing & Ski Rentals
We will be using Black Tie Ski Rental. They will come to the house and fit everyone and pick up the skis when we leave. It's a great service and we have used it before and loved it. THEY NOW HAVE A HEATED BOOT OPTION! Please choose the following options to be sure we all get our skis fitted on the first night:
Location: Crested Butte
Delivery Date: February 2 at 7:30 pm
Return Date: February 6 (or earlier if not skiing 3 days)
It will ask for the address of the house at checkout (above).
The free Mountain Express Columbine Condo Loop shuttle will stop outside the home on the corner of Whetstone & Belleview (right out front of the house) every hour on Monday - Thursday and every 30 minutes Friday to Sunday.
Lift Ticket
Cheapest option appears to be single day passes that you can use at any time. See screenshot below for price.

Two car rentals that will hold 10 people. Two Medium sized SUVs. I am supposedly guaranteed to be upgraded to a larger Suburban (fingers crossed).
Food and Beverage
Coming soon! I will start a Google Sheet with our shopping lists for the trip. We will put the food and bev on a single card and split it up after the fact.
Agenda
I'll add any group activities as they get planned. Ski days are recommended for 3 day skiiers but you're welcome to do whatever you prefer (I am only doing Friday and Sunday). Saturday will probably be the busiest day so that's the day I am suggesting as a rest.
