Crested Butte Ski Vacations and Luxury Skiing Vacations and Travel Packages
 Crested Butte has grown from a booming mining town in the 1880's to one of the most respected ski mountains in the country, without losing that genuine mountain hospitality. Experts will find numerous steeps, chutes, and cliffs to explore off the Extreme Limits and The Headwall, and can experience steep 'n deep, backcountry-style terrain off the North Face lift. Intermediates and beginners will thrill to the abundant cruisers under Paradise and Keystone lifts. The village and town are dotted with excellent restaurants and night spots, quaint specialty shops, and art galleries to round out the skiing experience.
