Off of the beaten path you will find our southwest Colorado town is far from traffic congestion like many of Colorado's ski areas located along interstates or major population areas. The historic town of Crested Butte is perhaps the friendliest, most captivating town in the Rockies. Over a hundred years of history is apparent as you walk down Elk Avenue. Our town is not only known for the amazing skiing and winter activities, but also the summer months are a hit with visitors and locals alike. Crested Butte is on the map for being named the Wild Flower Capital of Colorado and having the National Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. There are numerous activities to be found during the warm weather months from hiking, white water rafting, horse back riding and many festivals.

Crested Butte is truly "Colorado's last Great Ski Town." From world class skiing and snowboarding at Crested Butte Mountain Resort and cross country skiing on over 30 kilometers of well groomed trails at the Crested Butte Nordic Center (both opening on November 19, 2005) to sleigh ride dinners under the stars and moonlight snow shoe tours, we offer something for everyone. Ever try dog sledding or snowmobiling? If you're still looking for a sense of adventure try torch lit skiing, ice climbing, or back country competitions.

Satisfy your appetite at one of our fine restaurants. We are known for having more fine restaurants per capita than any other town in the U.S. (According to the Colorado Magazine). Sample the thriving nightlife. Our little mountain town comes alive after hours - pubs, clubs, and breweries are full of the mountain spirit! Take advantage of the free ski town shuttle system to get around.

Getting here is easy with multiple, daily non-stop jet flights on United from Denver and we have direct flights from Dallas/ Ft. Worth and Atlanta. Also, as a reference, we are just a scenic 4 hour drive from the Denver International Airport, and a short 3 hour drive of beautiful Colorado peaks and valleys from Colorado Springs.
