Anyone been the the Butte recently? How are the conditions? How much of the Extreme Limits terrain (North Face, Headwall, West Side) is open and how well is it covered? I'm going to be there next week, Feb. 16-22. Thanks!
 
Resort says 100% open, but reported base depth is 36-40 inches. I've skied 6 days there (late March/early April in both 1992 and 2001) and I would be very careful for coverage in the Extreme Limits terrain with that base. Please post a report when you get back. It will be useful as a reference in future seasons.
 
I skiied the Butte Feb8&9. A little more fresh would have been nice, but there was good wind blown snow in places. The "peel" was open and had pretty good coverage. Spellbound bowl was rocky in part but overall an awesome ski experience, having never been there before. The headwall was great. Still fresh in the trees. With a foot of fresh CB will be the place to be, and looks like they'll get it. BEST TERRAIN IN COLORADO in my opinion. Enjoy.
