Crested Butte Mountain Resort plenty of snow dumps all season long spread out over 1,160 acres. There's a "go-for-it, wahoo..." attitude that prevails among friendly, loose skiers who favor its terrain. There's plenty of space for all abilities, but hot skiers and riders will want to know there are more double-black diamond ski trails than any other resort in Colorado.

Gunnison/Crested Butte Airport is convenient to get to, particularly from Denver International.
