Crested Butte, CO Mountain Stats
Crested Butte has grown from a booming mining town in the 1880's to one of the
most respected ski mountains in the country, without losing that genuine
mountain hospitality. Experts will find numerous steeps, chutes, and cliffs to
explore off the Extreme Limits and The Headwall, and can experience steep 'n
deep, backcountry-style terrain off the North Face lift. Intermediates and
beginners will thrill to the abundant cruisers under Paradise and Keystone
lifts. The village and town are dotted with excellent restaurants and night
spots, quaint specialty shops, and art galleries to round out the skiing
experience.
