Great ski resort, especially for intermediate / advanced folks. Way less crowded than many of the others in Colorado since it's a little out of the way. A little tougher for a true first-timer to learn on, as we saw with one of my friends, but that also makes it less crowded with people just trying to get the hang of things and slowing down lifts and such.All in all, a little less to offer across the board than some of the bigger resorts, but you get all the benefits / trade-offs of a smaller resort. Great option if that's what you're looking for!

Crested Butte is one of the best mountains in Colorado. The hiking and skiing out the gates is amazing. Love this mountain!

Great variety of terrain, some very nice groomed blues and blacks. Lots of nice restaurants and businesses on the mountain, and next to a great town.

More steep runs compared to many other resorts that makes skiing more interesting.Resort is smaller but plenty of runs for a few days' trip. Bus services to and from the resort fo town of Crested Butte and Gunnison are very convenient. Town has a lot of restaurants with variety of food options and bars.

I spent five days, three skiing, at Crested Butte and loved my experience on the mountain. Groomed runs were great and they had a handful of mogul fields. I liked that Crested Butte takes advantage of their steep mountain face which makes for epic Blue and Black runs. Lift lines ran efficiently and only a couple of chairs ran slow. The base area has a good selection of restaurant and bars for after skiing activities.

To me, this is one of the best resorts in the world for expert terrain. Everything off of the back is an absolute dream. It's not easy to get to, but that means you can ski fresh tracks all day. Vibes are almost that of a smaller mountain, and they've got the best pizza in Colorado at secret stash. Ski rambo if you want the bragging rights, but it's the least interesting run on that hill. The poma lifts are about as good as it gets anywhere.

The last true ski town in Colorado! Mountain is great. Especially the back bowls. Always a great time especially around Christmas!

Amazing mountain for both beginners and experienced riders. Crested butte includes a good amount of easy blues for the inexperienced, and also has some of the most extreme runs in america, i have never had a dull day over my 100s of days at crested butte. The T bar lifts take you to some of the most amazing terrain that you wont find anywhere else. Fun for all and challenging for the most experienced riders.

It is as if CB is two resorts: nice tight and well groomed runs from easy greens to wild blacks and then the surface lift served extremes that are truly extreme. Think huck yourself off a 60 foot cliff extremes that are still in-bounds. Apres on the mountain is not special, but a short (and free) bus ride into town serves up some great restaurants and bars ranging from total dives to world class cocktails and two in-town distilleries. Then go home, go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow. It is remote enough to not get too busy, but still pretty accessible.
