Come join us on one of the top rated trips the last 3 years in a row based on our traveler surveys. After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, get away to “Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town”. We’ll be flying into Gunnison Colorado with just a 28-mile scenic bus ride through the middle of the Rocky Mountains to our hotel. Accommodations are at the Grand Lodge, a full service hotel that boasts an indoor/outdoor pool and outdoor spa while located just 200 yards from the nearest ski lift. After a full day of skiing head to town on the shuttle that runs every 15 minutes. Enjoy your choice of casual or formal dining, strolling the quaint town, with its original buildings constructed in the 1800’s when Crested Butte was a bustling coal-mining town or the art galleries and shops. A pleasant mixture of a modern ski resort with state-of-the-art services and amenities just minutes from the historical town bathed in antique lamplight.

Monday morning we will get a private tour, for our advanced and expert skiers, led by our Mountain Rep, showing us some of the best routes through the challenging back bowls. Check with Mary or John for details.

Testimonial from Craig.

"Crested Butte is an excellent mountain with great snow, spectacular views, varied terrain and virtually no lift lines"
• The most affordable ski resort (lift tickets, food, rentals, etc.) I have ever been to
• A beautiful hotel with first class facilities…and every room is a suite
• The downtown is charming and filled with interesting restaurants and bars
• Probably the best customer service of any resort I have ever been to – the people are friendly, helpful and welcoming
• The travel day is reasonable – you connect through Dallas (avoiding Denver) and the bus ride to the mountain is only 30 minutes
• I have never skied at any resort two years in a row until I went to Crested Butte – this will be my third consecutive year…I love it!
