After a day of skiing, head to the Elevation Hotel Ballroom at 4:00pm for an engaging slideshow presentation featuring rare photos, early promotional footage, and stories from the very beginning, including how the idea for the ski area first took shape and what the valley looked like before lifts, trails, and base areas existed.
It’s a unique opportunity to experience Crested Butte’s history through the eyes of the family who helped bring the mountain to life.
