16 lifts, 1,167 acres of skiing, and 121 trails. One of the smaller skiresorts, however, the skiing is still breathtaking. And the town of Crested Butte is by far the most charming in Colorado.
Take the Silver Queen Express to the High lift, and into Teocalli Bowl. Traverse high right, and keep going until the trees open up. At the bottom, a quick hike takes you above Paradise bowl.
“Chutes, cliffs, bluebird skys, pow stashes, the DC terrainpark and most importantly, chill locals make Crested Butte one of my favorite spots to ride in the world.” –Nick Vogt (Snowboard Team Rider)
Get to ski rentals and lift tickets early during holiday weeks, very busy. Tons of great staff and instructors if you want group or individual lessons.
Take the chairlift to a web of mountain-biking trails (Crested Butte is the sport’s self-proclaimed birthplace) or see how you fare at bungee jumping, zip-lining and disc golf at Adventure Park.
Awesome place to ski. Get to the slopes in the morning right when they open. It's very peaceful to ski at that time. Silver Queenlift has great intermediate slopes.
