named trails. With so many to choose from, you can keep finding new routes all season long! From Topsy to Banana to Twister to Big Al’s, the fun names will keep you smiling through the run. One trail is perhaps more famous than the rest: Rambo is described as the steepest cut trail in North America. Not for the faint of heart.
15
chairlifts to help you get around the mountain! That includes two T-bars – the North Face and High Lifts -- that service some of our famed extreme terrain.

It’s your stepping stone to the steeps, allowing beginners to focus on the fundamentals: starting, stopping, balance, carving and more.

average inches of annual snowfall in the base area. That’s nearly 20 feet! In December 2021, Crested Butte saw a whopping 99 inches of snow in one week. Needless to say, people in Crested Butte love a good powder day.
