A snowmaking system is operated by CBMR on Crested Butte <br />Mountain which serves 175 acres. There are no plans at present for any <br />major increase of the snowmaking system. <br /> <br />Crested Butte Mountain Resort is planning a major ski area expansion <br />into Crested Butte North Mountain (Snodgrass Mountain) which lies to the <br />north of the existing ski area development. <br /> <br />A snowmaking system planned for North Mountai n wi 11 serve <br />approximately 200 acres (Gus Larkin interview, September 14, 1987). In <br />the summer of 1985, CBMR completed construction of a primary pump station <br />on the East River for the purpose of del ivering water to its existing <br />snowmaking ope rat ion on Crested Butte Mountain and to provide water for <br />the proposed snowmaking system on North Mountain. The pump station is <br />located adjacent to the diversion point for the Crested Butte Water and <br />Sanitation District. Its present capacity for serving Crested Butte <br />Mountain is approximately 5 cfs. This capacity will be approximately <br />doubled when the North Mountain ski area is developed. <br /> <br />Crested Butte Mountain Resort holds an absolute decree of 4.55 cfs <br />and a condi t i ona 1 decree of 1. 45 cfs for snowmaki ng on Crested Butte <br />Mountain. Both decrees were adjudicated in 1981. CBMR's snowmaking <br />operation is covered under a USFS Special Use Permit. According to the <br />terms of an agreement reached between the Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />and CBMR, which is attached to the USFS Special Use Permit, CBMR is <br />required "to util ize its best efforts to maintain not less than 7 CFS of <br /> <br />, , <br /> <br />B-32 <br /> <br />[J '-, ,., n .,. 65 /"\ <br />f",J .,; U <, J .7 <br />
