Crested Butte is a unique place with some really unique (ie; extreme) terrain. Families still seem to enjoy it.

  • Home ski area, so it's naturally my favorite
  • Getting expensive.

I don't know why they haven't made more of the extreme terrain here more accessible. Most of the double black terrain is hike to terrain. It's crazy how much extreme terrain is here, this is the best ski area for experts. Also it is surprisingly good for beginners or intermediates. It doesn't really have much single-black terrain, though. So if you want to progress from blue runs but you don't want to ski the hardest runs in Colorado, there isn't much terrain for you.

  • Awesome terrain, awesome scenery, great snow, not crowded, cheaper, comes free with a Keystone pass
  • Some of the lifts can get bad lift lines sometimes

Awesome, rugged mountain. Felt the most like old school CO mountain town I've experienced since the Vail and Alterra boom of the last 10-15 years. Its worth the longer trip, especially if you're lucky enough to get deep powder.

  • Great variety of terrain, might be the best in bounds steep and extreme stuff in CO, not crowded
  • Bottom half of the mountain is almost exclusively green runs, which isn't ideal for more experienced skiers/riders

Amazing resort without the crowds. Very long runs which I LOVE! The T bar terrain is always a blast.The mountain and town atmosphere definitely has character and uniqueness unlike many other vail resorts that feel very commercial and uninspiring. The views are spectacular and breathtaking. I wish there were more tree runs and forests and definitely less rocks. Definitely watch out for the rocks. Snow coverage in late march is BARE but overall it’s an awesome mountain with an old school vibe, great people, awesome town that is quite remote with wide open wilderness right outside town. I’m coming to be in the mountains and the wild not a commercialized skiing Disney world. Crested Butte don’t ever change!!!

  • Short lines, great atmosphere
  • Limited trees
