There’s a reason why Crested Butte, Colorado plays host to an array of annual ski competitions, gear testing events, and extreme skiing celebrations.
The old western charm of this hidden mountain town is hard to resist. It’s a place where freeskiing in its purest form defines the culture and attitude of the area. But its rich mining and ranching history still finds itself embedded in every street corner, building, and person who calls Crested Butte home.
The mountain itself is known for some of the best lift-served extreme skiing in the nation, and boasts 500 acres of stunningly beautiful, yet challenging terrain including the steepest in-bounds run on the continent, “Rambo.” Other infamous zones like the Headwall, Banana Chutes, and Teocalli bowl make Crested Butte the perfect proving grounds and backdrop for some of the most prominent events in skiing.
Crested Butte should be on the top of every freeskier’s hit list. The combination of world-class terrain and old western charm makes Crested Butte one of the last pure ski towns in the country. And now, you can visit this classic TGR destination courtesy of Gunnison Crested Butte.
