Everyone has a strong opinion about snow, but when you live in Colorado, you better get used to it, as every fall/winter/spring (and, sometimes, even summer) brings LOTS of new powder! Even if you prefer the heat to snow, you have to at least admit that it is beautiful, especially in the snowiest town in Colorado… as long as you’re armed with your warmest winter gear!
Nestled in the heart of the gorgeous San Juan Mountains, Crested Butte is, indeed, Colorado's snowiest town, with an average snowfall of 216.6 inches (or 18.05 feet).

Whether you prefer a boujee resort or a more rustic cabin, you are guaranteed to find your perfect accommodations in Crested Butte, thanks to its world-class ski resorts and hotels, homes, lodges, and other rental options.
