Summer in Crested Butte
The saying “winter brings you here but the summers keep you here” couldn’t be truer! After the snow melts this funky little ski town transforms into one of the most breathtaking places on earth.
Known as the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, summer brings with it an explosion of color as the flowers bloom all over the valley and the mountainsides turn a vibrant shade of green thanks to the groves of aspen.
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.
