Crested Butte Ski Resort Vacations

Crested Butte Overview

Crested Butte is solitarily and dramatically beautiful, towering above the western town that lies peacefully at its base. Crested Butte offers excellent advanced skiing, and the town offers an atmosphere that is intimate and unpretentious; so although all in all it may be smaller than most resorts, what it offers in quality more than makes up for any perceived lack in quantity.

Crested Butte Lodging: Condo and Hotels

There are two main lodging areas in Crested Butte. Lodging at the mountain base is most convenient for hitting the ski slopes, with your lodging either ski-in/ski-out or a short walk to the lifts. Lodging here offers mostly rental condos, but hotels are available. The alternative- Historic Crested Butte- is located 2 miles from the mountain, and requires a 10-minute shuttle ride to reach the lifts. Instead, the convenience of being walking distance to the downtown nightlife and shopping is a big appeal for this area, however, lodging is very limited to mostly hotel facilities.
