Crested Butte: Arrival and information
Crested Butte is not an easy place to get to, especially in winter and spring when roads can be cut off by snow and avalanches. Most skiers fly in: ten flights per day from Denver, and at least one per week from Atlanta, Dallas and Houston, touch down at Gunnison Airport . From here, Alpine Express ($40 round-trip; tel 970/641-5074) will drive you the 28 miles to your accommodation. Once in Crested Butte there's no need for a car: free buses ply the three-mile route between the town and resort every fifteen minutes. The visitor center is at Elk Avenue and Sixth Street (daily 9am-5pm; tel 970/349-6438 or 1-800/545-4505).
