There are few places remaining that can be called a true Colorado ski town. Crested Butte is considered a holdout, retaining its small town charm and the adventurous soul that it has always had. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning, you immediately feel a difference that sets Crested Butte apart from other mountain locations. With no traffic lights or chain stores and people who openly celebrate life every day, the genuine nature of the community and the pristine surroundings immediately capture you. Here, your time isn't just about a visit to ski an incredible mountain. It's about being away from your other world, finding adventure in an unspoiled setting surrounded by majestic peaks, wide valleys, and being connected to the culture and lifestyle that is Crested Butte.
Crested Butte is a friendly, open and caring community with a stubborn streak that still holds tight to its heritage and was once called "the town that wouldn't die" because of its ability to survive the booms and busts of the Colorado's mining days. Crested Buttians also have a colorful spirited nature and on almost any week there is a celebration of some kind or a special event that has a tie to the past. It is clear that locals love to party, but visitors and locals become one in the same in Crested Butte while sharing in the festivities.
The past is as important as the future here and new acquaintances seem to naturally develop into llifelong friendships. For those who have not visited Crested Butte before, they are sometimes surprised to find that there are actually two towns. The historic mining town of Crested Butte dating back to 1880 and the town of Mt. Crested Butte which encompasses the modern ski resort base area with its hotels spas, retail stores and restaurants. The two towns complement each other and are connected by a fantastic and colorful free shuttle service. As unique and quirky as Crested Butte itself, the transportation system is described as fun and reliable with its distinctive hand painted buses and friendly drivers operating all day and night. Every day, locals ride their bicycles on the snow covered streets to the bus stops in town and join visitors on the six minute ride to the base of the mountain.
There is a real community in Crested Butte which makes it feel different from almost every other ski resort in the west. Real people live, work and play here, and welcome visitors as though they were close friends. As one local put it, "This is a great place to find yourself...or to just get lost for a while."
With the recent base area development and extensive improvements of the ski resort along with the opening of the new Mountaineer Square Lodge & Conference Center, Mt. Crested Butte has shown how it can keep its values balanced with growth. As more people discover this mountain haven, staying true to nature will always be the guiding light. Considering the distinctive qualities of Crested Butte, it is easy to understand how it has been called "Colorado's last great ski town."
