4 days of skiing at Crested Butte. It’s a great mountain with a variety of terrain. The green slopes are fun, and the left side of the mountain features some very challenging double-diamond terrain. Lots of great restaurants and entertainment, both at the mountain base and in town. Pyramid shaped Mt. Crested Butte looms over Crested Butte, the last of the Colorado hippie ski towns. The lower front of the mountain is mostly beginning and intermediate terrain, while the cliff riddles bowls and faces on the back side, known as the North Face, test even the most talented skiers. The pretty Victorian mining town has excellent shopping and dining.
