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). Other useful information
