Lets talk New Years Resolutions. Some of may resolve to spend more time with our dogs; wait, we already do that. Some people may resolve to work out 4 out of 7 days of the week; wait, we already do that too. Well, I am sure you have a vice you're working on for 2010, but why not add driving a snow cat to your list of things to do. Crested Butte Mountain Resort invites you to our side of creating Colorado's Best Corduroy. Eager students learn the basics of driving snowcats, grooming, pushing snow, and get to experience one of the best ski resort jobs, well, besides mine, on a closed course. The school incorporates initial classroom time for safety and operational instruction then students get out on the course to maximize the driving time. There are so many unique things you can do in life-and this is surely one of them. To book your Snowcat Driving Experience call or visit the Adventure Center in Mountaineer Square at 970-349-4554.
