Crested Butte
Colorado, USA
Colorado's 'last great ski town': funky Victorian streets and extreme terrain, 37% of it double black.
Crested Butte is Colorado's last great ski town - an authentic, funky mountain community with serious terrain and deep powder culture. Known for extreme skiing, colorful locals, and that 'old Colorado' vibe that's disappeared elsewhere. The mountain offers surprisingly challenging terrain with legendary bowls and chutes, all without the I-70 crowds.
