(who is more interested in costumes than skiing)

Crested Butte Mountain Resort is giving away free lift tickets to anyone dressed in full Santa (or Mrs.) Claus regalia on Saturday, December 23rd. To receive a free lift ticket, dig out your very best and brightest red Santa suit, don�t forget the hat and beard, and jingle walk your way up to the ticket window ready to hit the slopes. Best costume will win a Paradise Sleighride Dinner for two. �You should see my outfit,� said Gina Kroft, Director of Public Relations for the resort, �Mrs. Claus is going to be stylin�!�

The free �Santa� lift ticket is valid for December 23rd only. (Season pass holders will receive a free "Santa" lift ticket for a friend.) For more information, call the Gothic Ticket Window office at 970-349-2262.
