    I had a blast here at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. This is a beautiful place to visit that is an…read moreexcellent spot for hiking, biking and skiing. I have been skiing my whole life and have had Crested Butte on my list to ski for some time. I am glad that I finally made my way over here to ski their slopes. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is owned and operated by Vail Resorts. My buddy and I have Epic Passes and chose to ski here this past winter. This resort is geared toward intermediate to expert skiers as there are lots of blue and black runs. Overall, we had good snow and a fun weekend. We started our day off by taking Red Lady Express Lift from Base Area. We spent a lot of our time hitting the intermediate runs off of Paradise Express Lift. We eventually hit some black runs off of Silver Queen Express Lift. We didn't do it, but Rambo run is the steepest tree-defined ski trail in North America with a 55-degree pitch. That run looks insane. Crested Butte Mountain Resort opened in 1960. We stayed in town near the base of the resort and had a lot of fun. We were able to walk to the lift from our hotel. Crested Butte is a former coal mining town that is a popular tourist destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Mount Crested Butte is in the heart of the Elk Mountains and sits over 9,000 feet above sea level. The town is named after its iconic 12,168-foot mountain peak. You can see the peak while you ski from almost anywhere on the mountain.

    Crested Butte Resort is an awesome skiing destination. It is set up well and relatively easy to…read morenavigate around the entire resort from the Front Side (the Base Camp area) to the lifts/terrain on the back side (Paradise Express, East River, Teocalli) as well as the Ten Peaks area! Approximately 40% of skiing trails are marked as Double Black Diamond Extreme, so if you're looking for the most challenging terrain, then this is the place for you! But even if you're not an "advanced expert," then there are still plenty of runs that you can take it easy on... or that will push you to keep on learning and getting better! Of all the Vail Resorts, I feel like the Crested Butte team was the friendliest and most welcoming. Definitely try to plan your trip to Crested Butte for when they're getting some fresh powder, as most of the runs will be even more enjoyable! *****FIVE STARS*****

    It was nice to stay in a hotel that was walking distance from Crested Butte Mountain Resort. After…read moreskiing all day, we enjoyed hanging out in the indoor/outdoor heated pool and hot tub. The room itself was somewhat spacious. Our ski gear ended up making the room a little crowded. We were just happy that the beds were nice and comfortable. Our room was near the back door, so we were able to park toward the back of the hotel to have quick access to our vehicle. The Grand Lodge has a nice lobby area. I enjoyed hanging out in front of the fireplace late evenings. There is a fitness room and a gift store near the lobby that sells souvenirs, merchandise and personal items. There is a restaurant called the Highlife Crust & Crafts inside of this hotel. We didn't dine there, but I did grab a breakfast burrito one morning and got charged twice for it. So I had to return to get a refund. The food at Highlife is a little pricey. There are plenty of food options in the surrounding area if you want something more affordable. Overall, our stay here was good and we enjoyed the convenience of having a short walk to the ski resort.

    I stayed here recently for the fourth time and I recommend checking it out!…read more I have used the WiFi for video calls with no issues, you can't beat the location, the pool and hot tub is a nice option, and the hotel is right by the free shuttle. The kitchenette is also great if you want to bring some of your own food. Yes, you may have a different experience based on where you reserve your room. We used Vrbo. The hotel is not brand new but honestly, who goes on vacation to stay in their hotel room and examine some paint chips on the wall? I'll definitely be back again.

    Elevation is our go-to place for our annual trips to Mt. Crested Butte. While the obvious appeal of…read moreElevation is that it is ski-in / ski-out at the base of the mountain it is the service of the team here that makes every stay special. From the guys at the valet station who greet you with a smile and get you checked in efficiently, to the crew at Elevate who manage your skis, and the folks at Jose who serve up great food and drink, it is the staff at Elevation that makes differentiates. Elevation could use a face lift but her location and people make the experience. Personal shout out to Marco who has been a fixture at Elevation for years.

    Not sure where my review went…read more.. Elevation Hotel has probably shut down to be rehabbed and rebranded. Which is a good thing. Visited over Memorial Day. It was a ghost town, which is fine however there wasn't many staff around to get service, and the coffee shop and bike shops were closed. Overall, the place was nice but felt "tired". Things seemed a little worn out and there was always a horrible mildew smell at the elevator foyer for our floor. Pool and outdoor hot tubs were in need of some upkeep. There is really nowhere else to park, so we got hit with a $30 a day parking fee to park in the grimy garage. There was also a high resort fee that was unexpected. If Elevation remains the same and doesn't get a makeover - I wouldn't stay there again.

Please note that 104 does not mean first floor. You literally are on the bottom floor and have to climb the three flights every trip (in addition to the flight of stairs to the parking lot). Our space was sufficient for what we needed. It was pet friendly for our daughter's puppy. She had indicated that they were bringing the puppy but apparently it did not get into the notes or on the booking. Either way, the maid service did not come but once and never came again when they realized that the puppy was in her crate. The water in the kitchen never got warm for washing dishes. The beds were adequate for a condominium. I always pull back the bedding when I arrive to a location. The sheets had apparently been washed with something that had black lint in it. There was black balls of lint all over the bedding. You can imagine the concern we had until examination closer. The yellow warning tapes were on the deck due to the snow that was accumulated on deck. Going up and down steps outside the building were difficult. View from the room was good, but so much snow piled up that you had to go outside to really see the mountains. The biggest plus to the San Moritz was the shuttle service to town. It was only a phone call away. We did not have to wait more than 15-minutes. If they were going to be longer than the time needed, they would tell you to call back.

    Fearful of what I might find here, as small, resort locales often possess oligopolistic control…read moreover pricing and quality, I ventured through the door at McGill's, a local staple, and ordered the Great American breakfast. The quality of ingredients and preparation were all spot on. Bacon was triple crispy as I requested. Hash browns were made with butter, as I insisted. Eggs were cooked perfectly, neither rubbery nor slimy. Magnificent was the French toast. Served as something resembling a German log roll, it was crispy on the outside, tasty throughout, and yet remained free from being bread-y. I savored every bite of this, a real highlight. You can substitute this for the muffin for a $2 fee or thereabouts. Do that, and you won't be disappointed. Two areas that could be improved: the pancake syrup, and while it tasted fine, was definitely corn syrup based and low quality. I humbly think that the owner could easily charge $1.75 more and offer the real thing. Further, the orange juice wasn't great, acceptable, but far from a real fresh squeezed caliber. The hostess forced me to sit at the bar when tables were open. Fortunately for me, a spectacularly responsive and friendly other server rescued me, provided me a table and provided the utmost in service for a breakfast styled establishment of this ilk. She was also food knowledgeable as her husband and her own one of the truly great restaurants in town, further down the street on Elk Avenue. Pricing was just right. Location is fantastic as well. I plan to return, but may bring my own syrup and orange juice. Thumbs up for McGill's.
