Home2025 TSC Final Showdown - Crested Butte

Texas Ski Council Final Showdown
Crested Butte
March 1-8, 2025


Crested Butte has one of Colorado’s largest National Historical Districts minutes away from the resort. Hop the free bus to downtown to explore the many shops located in town, many on iconic Elk Avenue.  Enjoy antique lamp lights bathing the town in a warm golden glow. With Victorian storefronts painted fun colors, there is a small-town quirky feel.  Visit the Wildflower or Elevation Spas to work those kinks out.  Stop at the Eldo Bar (A sunny place for Shady People) or the Princess Wine bar for adult beverages. Don't forget Montanya Distillers for amazing food and rum.

Crested Butte has more gourmet restaurants than other towns their size with diversity tempting everyone's palate. Want homemade comfort food?  Check!  Burritos?  Check!  Steak?  Without a doubt!  Even traditional French foods.
