Mt. Crested Butte
Mt. Crested Butte
North of Crested Butte and tucked along the base of its eponymous mountain, the community of Mt. Crested Butte is an end-of-the-road ski destination and idyllic retreat backdropped by a striking 12,000-foot, white-capped summit. Jaw-dropping panoramic views abound throughout the entire year, whether the slopes are laden with glittering white powder or blankets of wildflowers and lush, verdant foliage.
The crown jewel of the community is the Crested Butte Mountain Resort, a premier skiing hotspot known for its extreme terrain and challenging courses. Considered the birthplace of inbounds extreme terrain and also featuring an invigorating mountain bike park, adventure junkies and sports enthusiasts can test their mettle to the fullest at this off-the-beaten-path gem.
With lavish condos adjacent to the ski lifts, majestic, single-family estates flanked by pines and mature aspen trees, and massive luxury ski lodges epitomizing the best of rustic glamor, the residential real estate of Mt. Crested Butte proves to be just as exciting as its bountiful mountain views, extreme sports, and small-town spirit.
