Everyone who goes to Crested Butte loves Crested Butte.
Devotees possess a strong “if you know, you know” attitude about the place that suggests it’s Colorado’s best-kept secret—and with good reason. The mountain is a skier’s mountain, known for its relatively uncrowded runs and steep, rugged, challenging terrain. The town is part French Alps and part—triangular roofed-cabins are nestled among western-style false front buildings, restored to their old Western glory.
Family-owned since 2006, with the tagline “Colorado’s last great ski town,” Crested Butte’s identity is that of a holdout against corporate forces—a ski destination that has resisted the encroachment of resort conglomerates and their cookie-cutter, characterless new developments. Being independent came at the expense of the mountain’s infrastructure—the lift system fell into disrepair over the years, with inefficient pulley lifts servicing some of the most popular extreme terrain and several lifts out of commission altogether. Vail’s purchase promised an infusion of capital that the mountain needed—a promise the company is already making good on byfor the 2019-2020 season.
