Crested-Butte offers more double black diamond skiing
than any other resort in Colorado. Crested Butte is also the home of
the U.S. Extreme skiing and snowboarding championships, which is held
every year. Located in the heart of the rocky mountains, Crested Butte
is only 24 miles from the nearest airport which makes it an ideal resort
for those who don't like to travel long distances.
Editors Note: Crested Butte offers free skiing
at the beginning of the year (for about the first month), excellent
for those with a tight budget. Also Crested Butte has a naked skiing
day for those who like to live life on the wild side.
