About Crested Butte, CO

Crested Butte Ski

Located in the south west of Colorado, Crested Butte is an unspoilt gem with a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Visitor friendly with fantastic skiing, this diverse mountain resort has slopes which naturally divide from long green and blue cruisers to the extreme terrain of the North Face and Headwall.

The uncrowded slopes, fantastic grooming and snow conditions gives a sense of freedom and confidence. The on-mountain village retains the western feel of the area and offers stunning condos and the exquisite hotel at Mountaineer Square. Take the free shuttle 10 minutes down the road to the town to explore the 30 bars and huge range of restaurants and cafes. A true skiers/boarders mountain.
