Winter brings an abundance of fresh powder to Crested Butte Mountain Resort, where 1,500-plus skiable acres wait to welcome you in the heart of the Elk Mountains. The resort is known for its wide variety of terrain, ranging from powdery greens to double-black diamonds that whoosh you through steep bowls and tree runs. And all that topped with Crested Butte's authentic, down-to-earth charm — everything you'd want from a Colorado mountain town. The resort is also home to The Crested Butte Adaptive Sports Center, which offers several winter skiing and snowboarding options for people with disabilities.
