For only the fifth time in its history (since the Teocalli 2 terrain expansion), Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR), Colorado, has opened 100% of its skiable terrain. Marking the third consecutive season of wall-to-wall access, this milestone is a testament to the dedication of CBMRโ€™s mountain operations teams and the resortโ€™s commitment to delivering a world-class ski and ride experience. Set against one of the most scenic backdrops in the ski world, CBMR offers an unparalleled blend of extreme terrain, a vibrant local community, and free-spirited mountain adventure.

Extreme Skiing Like None Other

Known as the North American Birthplace of Extreme In-Bounds Skiing and Riding, Crested Butte Mountain Resortโ€™s legendary Steeps challenge even the most fearless skiers and riders. Advanced and extreme terrain composes nearly two-thirds of the resortโ€™s skiable acreage, making CBMR a premier destination for those looking to push their limits and fuel their adrenaline. With over 150 uniquely named zones in the extremesโ€”including Rambo, the steepest tree-cut run in North Americaโ€”the 2025 wall-to-wall opening ensures some of the best expert skiing access in Colorado and the entire ski industry.
