Winter in Crested Butte

Many people come to Crested Butte during the winter months to ski at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. From late November to early April the world-famous resort is open to people of all skiing levels.

Mt. Crested Butte is also home to the Adaptive Sports Center, which is known near and far as one of the best adaptive programs, where clients are treated to a variety of year-round activities including skiing.  The Crested Butte Nordic Center grooms over 50km of cross-country/skate skiing trails and hosts the famous Alley Loop race which is a qualifier for the American Birkebeiner ski race. The headquarters of Eleven Experience, a luxury experiential travel company, is based in Crested Butte and their guides offer some of the best Snow Cat Skiing at their remote “hill” in Irwin, Colorado.

If you’re not into skiing, there’s always plenty to do: snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing or hop on a “fat bike” to explore the area.  With bluebird days and lots of sunshine, enjoying the outdoors is possible 365 days a year in Crested Butte.
