About Crested Butte Mountain Resort
Crested Butte Mountain Resort is the centerpiece of winter and summer recreation in this iconic Colorado mountain town. Perched at the base of Mount Crested Butte, the resort has been drawing skiers and snowboarders since the 1960s with its legendary steep terrain, wide-open groomers, and consistent Rocky Mountain snowfall that averages over 230 inches per season.
The resort's rental and demo center offers a full lineup of ski and snowboard packages for all ability levels, from first-timers to experts looking to test the latest demo equipment. Summer transforms the mountain into one of Colorado's premier lift-served mountain bike parks, with rental bikes available for downhill and cross-country riding. The resort also operates scenic chairlift rides, a climbing wall, disc golf, and hiking trail access from the base area.
What makes Crested Butte Mountain Resort stand apart is its blend of extreme terrain — including some of the steepest inbounds runs in North America — with a welcoming, unpretentious vibe that has earned it the nickname "the last great Colorado ski town." The resort's compact base village keeps everything walkable, and their rental operation is designed to get families and groups geared up quickly so they can maximize time on the mountain.
