For those who love snow (and snow sports!), Colorado is a winter paradise. Crested Butte, which is Colorado's snowiest town, is the crown jewel of the state's winter destinations. Here, you can experience all sorts of winter magic!
Annually, Crested Butte sees an astonishing average snowfall of 216.6 inches. This is more than 18 feet of snow! For this reason, it is known as the snowiest town in Colorado. Ample snow and an ideal location in the San Juan Mountains makes it an amazing place to engage in snow sports. Opportunities to ski, snowboard, and sled bring in tons of visitors each year.
Crested Butte's adorable downtown is also particularly picturesque when it is coated in fresh white snow. It is like something out of a fairytale. There's nothing like browsing the many charming shops, museums, and galleries in town when there are fluffy flakes falling. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa and explore downtown!
Want to get up close and personal with the snow? Crested Butte is known for skiing and snowboarding, but there are plenty of options to chose from. Families will love tubing, sledding, and skating. For a more unique option, you can book a dog sledding excursion or take a horse drawn sleigh ride. What could be more magical than that?!
Of course, you can also spend time building snowmen or snowshoeing. If you want to watch the snow while staying cozy, then you can find a fireplace near a window and enjoy the weather from afar!
