Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) announced yesterday that the mountain resort has officially opened its much anticipated new on-mountain Zip Line Tour adventure for both summer and winter guests. As reported here in an earlier post previewing the Zip Line Tour, the guided tour includes five zip lines and a series of bridge features, weaving participants through the aspen treetops.
The Crested Butte Zip Line Tour is available during the summer and winter seasons; the resort will offer one of the only winter canopy tour operations in the state.
“We’re thrilled with the final product,” said Nick Herrin, CBMR’s director of resort services. “The new Zip Line Tour really helps to round-out our base area options for our guests.”
The design includes five zip lines ranging in length from 150 feet to 400 feet long. Platforms are approximately 10 feet by 10 feet, accommodating eight participants at one time. The tour is about two hours long, starting with a 15-minute hike during the summer months. For winter participants, the Peachtree Lift will offer lift-served access. Speed is maintained by an auto-braking system, controlled by the weight of each guest, which brings participants to a stop on the ramp at each platform.
Two guides accompany each group throughout their tour to ensure a one-of-a-kind guest experience and safety. CBMR’s guided Zip Line Tour is located in the Peachtree area of the mountain, just above the resort’s base area.
Zip Line Tours run daily through the summer from as early as 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., based on reservations and availability. After Sept. 5 tours take place on weekends only through the fall for leaf-peeping opportunities.
