Crested Butte has some of the most difficult inbound terrain in the country. The steeps, typically from 45 to 60+ degrees, or grades of 100 to 170 percent, make it a perfect destination for the gutsy and fearless. Heck, we've even host the annual Extreme Freeskiing Championships here in Crested Butte for the past 13 years!
Two surface lifts — The North Face and the High Lift — access most of extreme terrain and runs can easily take a half hour or longer. Depending on where you go, there may be some hiking involved. Think narrow chutes (some with mandatory airs), exposure, and North America’s steepest cut run— the aptly-named Rambo. If your idea of a perfect ski day includes getting a tiny bit gripped on top of a line, come see us in Crested Butte. We’ll be in the line-up at one of the t-bars or billy-goating down angle gully.
