Description
Crested Butte has been my home and haven for more than 20 years; I know this place, and love it. Skiing has been my lifelong obsession, and it's what first brought me here. I grew up ski racing all over Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and after college became a coach at two elite New England ski academies. In 1993, having heard about a little Colorado mining town where the skiing was steep and challenging, my husband Ross and I moved out to Crested Butte to check it out. Competitive extreme skiing, a local invention, was just beginning to take off, and my competitive juices started to flow. I skied and competed internationally for six years, and won the US Extreme Skiing Championship here in Crested Butte four times. These days, however, I am a bit tamer. Drawing on experiences from my competitive past, having been a ski instructor for over 20 years and an alumna of the Professional Ski Instructors of America's national alpine team, along with Ross's ski industry resume, we founded a ski travel business. We fulfill our passion for skiing by sharing some of the best skiing locations in the world with others. Chile, France, Iceland and Japan are a few of our destinations. Wherever and whenever we travel, we always come back home.to Crested Butte. And as I like to share my passion for skiing with others, I also like to share this place I call home with others. Crested Butte is much more than just a ski town. It is the best community of people one could ever imagine. Finding the perfect home and sharing the Crested Butte area with you is my pleasure. It is a great vacation spot in winter or summer for a part time visitor and it is a wonderful place to live year round and raise a family. We have two young boys, and we spend much of our time exploring the outdoors and surrounding mountains with them - hiking, biking, camping and skiing. I look forward to helping you find your place here in Crested Butte.

Description
Colorado’s ‘Last Great Ski Town,’ Crested Butte is known for its funky charm and immense beauty. Located in the Elk Mountains at an elevation of 8,909 feet, the town of Crested Butte began in the 1870s as a supply point for prospectors. Named after the distinctive peak nearby, Crested Butte soon became a hub for coal mining, and later transitioned into a ski town. Lately, it has become a year-round outdoor recreational hub for skiers, mountain bikers, hikers, fishermen and women, hunters, and boaters alike. In the early 1960s, Dick Eflin and Fred Rice bought a ranch three miles northeast of Crested Butte and converted it into a ski area, complete with one of the first gondolas in the state. It is now home to the town of Mt. Crested Butte and Crested Butte Mountain Resort. The ski area boasts 15 lifts accessing 121 trails including world-class extreme runs on the North Face and Headwall. The town of Crested Butte holds on to its mining past with original clapboard homes and businesses in an array of bright colors dotting Elk Avenue and throughout the entire town. Historic charm throughout the town and a top-10 rated public school continue to draw new homeowners throughout the valley.
