Varied Area

Great variation at a medium sized area. Tons of groomed trails, just as many steep double black chutes and bowls. Everyone can find terrain they like. Not a huge area. You find yourself at the bottom often, which is good for families and groups with varied abilities. Lots of base village accommodations, as well as in town lodges served by buses. Great selection of restaurants in the town.

Feb 2020

We had a great time! Crested Butte is my new favorite ski town in Colorado. We’ve skied Steamboat, Breckinridge, Keystone, Wolf Creek, Monarch, and Durango and of them all we like Crested Butte the best. The mountain service staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurants were great and shop keepers were so friendly and natural. We plan to make CB our annual ski vacation spot in the future.

A less busy Colorado destination!!

Crested Butte is a beautiful and out of the way destination which helps to keep the crowds down, unlike other colorado destinations that are easily accessible for everyone to ski. We loved the design of the runs. Blues and greens in the middle, all the blacks to the sides and higher up. For those of us who ski blues, there is no chance of ending up on a black by accident! We stayed at Gateway, ski in /ski out condo near Peach Tree lift. Love it!!!!! The condo was wonderful, comfortable and convenient. We were able to easily go back for lunch and a break. They also run shuttle buses around the condo complexs and into twn. oh and the reason we ended up skiing there this year was our 4 day epic pass was for Keystone and Crested Butte. We got to ski them both!

Great place, great people

Our visit to Crested Butte Jan31 2019 thru Feb 6, 2019 was great. We'd never been to the area before and didn't know what to expect. All of the services we received were top notch. Additionally, I was injured on my first day of skiing and the ski patrol staff, and mountain staff were so helpful and kind. The bus shuttle services are great and very convenient. I made my husband promise that we would come back to Crested Butte so I can ski a whole week next year.

the skiing was great and our stay at the Lodge at Mountaineer Square was the best place to stay

Skiing was great lots of greens and blues and no lift lines.... dining was good also .... New place the Divvy was excellent !! we ate dinner there twice.....

Great Getaway

Beautiful, clean, refreshing, peaceful and safe! Absolutely incredible food! Great shopping. Loved shuttle to town from Elevation. People very friendly everywhere. We will go back. Definitely want to go dog sledding next time.

Great Skiing

Despite the lack of snowfall, the conditions on the mountain were awesome. It was good powder all over the mountain. We loved the layout of the runs and there were restaurants on the mountain in which to eat.

Four days at Crested Butte

We spent four days at Crested Butte in early February during a bad snow year. Despite the double blacks at the top of the mountain not being open, the lower slopes were very enjoyable with grooming where appropriate and the bumps left alone.I hope to return with better snow coverage and ski Spellbound and Funnel.

Where is the staff?

The entire resort was like a ghost town. It seems they have given up on the 2018 winter season. We had 8" of snow two days prior to arrival, yet half of the mountain remained closed. (Other area resorts were mostly open.) No advanced terrain was accessible. We decided to transfer to another resort after two days.
