The Ultimate Freedom

Skiing & Snowboarding

The Nordic Inn B&B is located 500 yards from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort and ski lifts. Hop on your skis or snowboard and check out the 1,547 skiable acres of terrain on Mount Crested Butte!

The frontside of the mountain, specifically, the trails off of the Red Lady Express, offer incredible, wide-open and relatively uncrowded beginner skiing. Intermediate skiers can enjoy quick laps off of Prospect and Gold Link Lift; while more advanced intermediates have tons of trail options off of Paradise and East River Express Lifts. Expert skiers can get their “extreme” on off the North Face Lift, Spellbound Bowl, Third Bowl and gate-accessed Teocali Bowl.

The upper parts of the mountain are steep and rocky and offer a diversity of terrain including bowls, chutes, glades, and mandatory cliff jumps. This is some of the gnarliest terrain to be found at a North American ski resort. It’s for good reason that Crested Butte hosts various extreme freeskiing championships!

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a ski pass!
