From Front Door to First Tracks

 

For many, maximizing time on the slopes equals true happiness. Mt. Crested Butte offers many homes and condos with direct access to (or a quick walk from) world-class skiing, making early powder runs and après-ski gatherings a seamless part of daily life. For skiers and snowboarders, the ease of access to the slopes and minimal crowds compared to other resorts in Colorado equals more time doing what they love.

A Convergence of Galleries, Music, and Community

 

In the heart of downtown Crested Butte, historic Victorian homes and modern in-town residences put you steps away from galleries, the Center for the Arts, and community festivals. This lifestyle suits those who want to be immersed in the cultural heartbeat of Crested Butte—where the evening might begin at a performance in the park and end at an art walk.
