With few or no crowds except during a few select holiday weekends and Christmas, you&#8217;ll get a better bang for your buck skiing here in Crested Butte because you&#8217;ll spend less time in lift lines.  Currently, we are still waiting for our steep terrain to open&#8230; But, when it does open, Crested Butte offers the finest steep terrain in Colorado and is among the best in North America.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/cbmrfeb9mar2\/img_0014frank.jpg?6d7087\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" alt=\"Frank Konsella enjoying some powdery steeps at Crested Butte Mountain Resort February, 2014.  \" class \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank Konsella enjoying some powdery steeps at Crested Butte Mountain Resort last February.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While a typical lift ticket at Crested Butte Mountain Resort is $103, there are many ways to get around this high price for skiing.  Here&#8217;s a few deals that will help you fund your fun, and stretch your wallet a little more.<\/p>\n<h3>1)  Costco Lift Tickets<\/h3>\n<p>Front Range Costco stores are selling vouchers for two day tickets for Crested Butte for $97.99.  This is less than half price for one ticket!  The one catch is that this voucher is good for only one ticket that is good for two out of three days.  So, splitting this with a friend is not an option.  Black-out dates include the week of Christmas which is now past, March 9-11, and March 16-18 &#8211; and it is good until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202718\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_9857-e1421797042241.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_9857-e1421797042241.jpg\" alt=\"A sign at Costco advertising Crested Butte Lift Ticket Deals. \" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_9857-e1421797042241.jpg 480w, https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_9857-e1421797042241-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign at Costco advertising Crested Butte Lift Ticket Deals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2) Two-for-One Voucher with Shell Gas<\/h3>\n<p><!--more READ MORE--><br \/>\nParticipating Shell Gas stations have these vouchers available if you purchase 10-gallons or more of gas.
