Cranor Hill

Gunnison's city ski hill, opened in 1962, with one Poma platter lift, 4 runs, and 45 acres. It runs on natural snow only, mostly on weekends, and its platter lift is one of the oldest operating lifts in Colorado.

Current snow checked November 3, 2026. New snow, base, and season figures are resort reported. On the ground is the nearest SNOTEL station reading. Expected snowfall comes from the National Weather Service.

How the scoreboard covers Cranor Hill

• Resort reported numbers. Cranor Hill has no dedicated online snow report page. We publish what the hill publishes, on its site, its social feeds, or at the hill, and we say where each number came from. We never invent a number for a hill.
• Snow quality check. No single SNOTEL station is assigned to Cranor Hill yet, so its quality call leans on the resort report and the week's temperatures.
• Expected snowfall. The Thursday outlook uses National Weather Service forecast data for this hill's location, and the Monday edition checks what actually fell against it.

Cranor Hill in the editions

No editions have mentioned Cranor Hill yet, and that is about to change by design: every Monday verdict and Thursday outlook carries the full 34 hill scoreboard, this hill included, in the same size row as every other. The first live edition ships with the first real snow of the season. See the editions archive.
