Crested Butte is known for its diverse skiing, genuine western charm, ambiance, and down to earth hospitality. Crested Butte started out as a mining town in the 1880's. The historic downtown district, just 3 miles from the mountain area, is filled with local culture, friendly apres-ski spots, and a variety of delicious dining choices, plus great shopping and galleries. Crested Butte offers plenty of terrain for all levels of skiers. Extreme skiers love the 550 acres of ungroomed powder of North Face, site of the U. S. Extreme Skiing Championships.
Families love the Kids Pay Their Age program.
Kids 12 and under pay their age for their lift tickets. Ski free before Dec. 18 and again after April 4, when lifts tickets for all ages are free. There is a special ski package available for just about every season, from the Christmas Countdown to the No Limits Package in April.
