This town, which we came to 10 years ago has changed . Hard to find a good restaurant or a good coffee shop. Locals are not friendly at all. I got the feeling that it is a very progressive town that looks a lot like a mix of Boulder and Nederland. the speed limit is mostly 10mph everywhere with 15mph thrown in here and there. This is a town where it is all about the folks who live there, not about the visitors spending money there. We are Colorado natives and won't be back.

I was in town for a conference. The free transportation around town and the mountain was fantastic! Staying in Crested Butte, I felt like I was in the land of Oz... I kept looking for the lollipop kids, then realized perhaps I was the lollipop kid! The food options in town were excellent. Incredible pizza at Secret Stash was like New York- perhaps better, if that's possible. and the Thai place, Thai Chili 78, was spot on.

I love Crested Butte. I have been there a number of times before, and I continue to be spellbound by the beauty of the surrounding area. There are many gorgeous hiking trails, and in July the wildflowers were amazing. There is no end to outdoor activities (hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rafting, kayaking, fishing, etc.). The town is fun with shops and restaurants. The area has become a lot more expensive over the years as it has been discovered by more people, and the town can have crowds (especially on the weekends). The grocery store is pretty small, and while they carry the basics, they don't have many specialty items. Be sure to pick up provisions in Gunnison on your way in if you prefer specific items or brands. The entire area is very dog-friendly, so be sure to bring your pooch on this trip!

Crested Butte is a nice place with a lot of beautiful drives, hikes, and bike trails. However, our friends went to the grocery store and they were out of almost everything. They didn't have any lunch meat, no bananas, and no fresh fruit. They need to restock more often. The grocery store is the only one in town and it isn't very well stocked. The free busses are very convenient to use, since downtown parking can be hard to find. Restaurants are very busy, and you need reservations in many of them.

Crested Butte is amazing to visit if you get the chance. Because it's more of a commitment to get there (if you're coming from Denver etc), it's not as busy as other resort towns. The terrane is breath taking, winter or summer. - Secret Stash Pizza is a must visit - Camp 4 Coffee is a great cafe - Crested Butte Burger Co on the resort is super good and not $25 per burger - It's very easy to get around CB

Crested Butte remains an old school ski area with much of its old charm. It has however become "discovered" and is not well supported by its aged infrastructure. It is much too expensive for support staff to live anywhere nearby so they are experiencing massive staff shortages...thus very poor service overall. restaurants have closed in masse because they cannot afford the rent nor can they find staff. Same in hotels, stores, and every business. Very cool place that needs to figure out this dilemma.
