I have visited a lot of ski towns and I must say, Crested Butte has my heart. When I visit, I find myself in a blissful presence of beauty all around. Every view is stunning. It is a magical place I encourage to put on your bucket vacation list.

If visiting this winter, be sure to check out the website for the latest information on Covid-19 safety protocols and reservations. The mountain (and town) are putting safety for locals and tourists at top priority. Please be mindful of wearing facemasks at the resort along to any establishments. Socially distance when you can – skiing provides the opportunity to social distance and not be directly taking turns next to someone. It also allows for bonus warmth protection from a facemask/buff system to help keep your face warm. Put on goggles, helmet and a ski outfit and you’re safely covered head to toe.

Don’t wait for the next opportunity to experience what makes Crested Butte so magical. Book your tickets in advance using the reservation system at skicb.com. Check out the incredible lodging options at visitingcrestedbutte.com.  Now is the time to experience all that Crested Butte have to offer!
