more Butte, please

The morning started sunny but by lunchtime a cold wind was bringing in snow so we high tailed it to the base for more layers and lunch at Jefe's.

Turns out that while we ate lunch, everyone else went home and we had empty slopes with new snow all to ourselves.  

At the top of the Silver Queen lift we watched gnarly climbers make their way through blowing snow to the tip top of Crested Butte peak. 

We finished the day and faded into dreams of powder ahead...
