There are few places remaining that can be called a true Colorado ski town.

Sure, these days you can rip insane parks...

... Or après with Mariah.

But what about that adventurous spirit and appreciation for the great outdoors that inspired snow sports in the first place?

Crested Butte Mountain Resort is considered a holdout and offers everything from world-class skiing, riding, and snowshoeing to dog sled excursions and sleigh rides with mountaintop dinners.

And if that’s not enough for you check out this ski town, the resort has just launched a NEW 4-Day Lift Ticket deal, available now until January 22, 2012.

This deal gets you access to acres of wide-open green and blue groomed trails and the famous extreme limits of the North Face and Headwall... All at just a fraction of the ticket window price!

Take advantage of their 50% Off Every 2nd Night  deal on top of it and you're talking serious savings.

If you want to get the most out of your four days at the Butte, go for a private excursion with Crested Butte Mountain Guides. Through private instruction, experienced Adventure Guides will evaluate your needs and ability to create an on-mountain experience you will never forget.

Conquer the North Face, explore some of the hidden powder stashes on the lower mountain, or take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about backcountry skiing and safety.

These tours are a full day of backcountry skiing or riding, including a lunch stop along the way. Your tour will take you through beautiful aspen glades, open meadows, and treeless ridgelines. Your day will be spent in the majesty of the wild and rugged Elk Mountains.

What else would you expect from Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town?
