Welcome Aspen Crested Butte Vail Contact

 

For advanced/expert skiers and boarders Crested Butte is heaven.
The front face of the mountain is all double diamonds with open runs and glades
to delight the best. The extreme limits is enough to make anyone smile.
You'll realize how good it is when you get to the bottom, after plunging
through bottomless powder, and you look round to all your friends and notice that
they're all loudly laughing and giggling uncontrollably.
You'll all be straight back up the lift as fast as you can to do it all over again.
They call crested butte "the last great colorado ski town".
It could be true, the town is the largest historic district in colorado, looking just like
a hollywood film set.

The ski area is one of the only major ski areas in the usa to have been
family owned since 1961. Now that doesn't mean that the ski area is
undeveloped because ma walton wanted to buy a new fur coat every winter. Far from it.
The Callaways and the Waltons, who developed the
ski company and much of the base area were well aware that the skiing and the lifts
had to be second to none if they were going to continue to attract skiers
from not only the USA but also from all over the world. Not that they
could have done it all on their own, nature was very, very good
to them and provided a mountain that not only looks good but has slopes
for all abilities. The beginner areas are superb for those of you
taking your first tentative steps on those long thin planks or even those of you
hoping not to bruise your back-side too much as you learn the skills
of snowboarding! Many ski areas are great for beginners or great for
intermediates or advanced and experts but very few are suitable
for letting skiers progress from one skill level to another. Crested Butteis that
mountain and has slopes of every conceivable pitch which enables
skiers and boarders to go from one to the other without ever panicking and
feeling that the next slope is too steep.

The present owners, the Muellers are also a close family and not corporate. They also happen
to own Okemo and Sunapee resorts back east. You'll probably bump into
Ethan or Erika on the slopes while mum and dad Tim and Diane hold down the fort.
Crested Butte is a great confidence builder and means that
every skier or boarder can improve here no matter how timid they may be.
A great place for families!
