TRIP DESCRIPTION

Crested Butte, the self-proclaimed “last great ski town in America”, is one of the few resorts in North America that really does offer wide-ranging terrain for every kind of skier. Spanning 1,547 acres, Crested Butte Mountain Resort has plenty of terrain for beginner and intermediate skiers (more than two thirds of that acreage) while the rest is dedicated to insanely steep extreme terrain serviced by some of the best lifts in the country. Due to its large amount of extreme skiing terrain, the mountain has attracted the U.S. Extreme Skiing Championships and the X Games.

We will be staying at the Plaza (on the mountain) in 2- and 3-bedroom condos. The Plaza offers condominium convenience in a hotel-like setting and is located a short walk from the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts. Some of the amenities include room service, high-speed internet, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a steam room, covered parking and free shuttle service to town. Each unit has a private washer and dryer, balcony, fireplace and full kitchen.
For your convenience, the WoodStone Grille, Logo’d Gift Shop and Wildflower Spa are located in the lobby of the Plaza.
MORE THAN JUST GREAT SKIING
In addition to ski and snowboard trails, the resort has a well-earned reputation for being the Nordic ski capital of Colorado with 55 kilometers of Nordic trails for cross-country and skate skiing. If you are not a skier or snowboarder, there are still plenty of activities for you to enjoy. The resort offers winter horseback riding, guided snowmobile tours, sleigh ride and yurt dinners, snowshoeing and fat tire snow biking. There are also 4 terrain parks, including Ten Peaks Progression Park which offers small, simple lines to learn on as well as to take your skills to the next level. For more fun, check out the Adventure Park which offers year-round bungee trampolines, ziplining and a tubing hill.
