Peak Lighting

Like a signal, Crested Butte Mountain Resort summons skiers, riders, families and friends to their namesake mountain with a display worthy of awe. On select nights throughout the year, Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) lights up the iconic peak of Crested Butte Mountain.

Always an imposing presence, the Butte’s peak rises sharply from the valley floor to 12,162 feet. Seemingly, when lit amongst the darkness of the night sky, the mountain’s magnificent scale appears even larger.

Guests must choose their dates carefully if they hope to see the peak lit up, but luckily, we’re here to help with planning. The 2019-20 winter season Peak Light dates have yet to be determined.

These special times coincide with holidays and annual events including the start of the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse.
