Don’t Miss These 5 Crested Butte Events This Winter
Winter in Crested Butte is less a time of year, and more of a celebration of chilly temps, the fluffy white stuff, and the renowned “après-ski” lifestyle. Most people come for a visit during the winter months to ski or snowboard at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, but that’s just a small slice of what this valley offers in terms of recreation and fun.
Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band
The Center turns 38 this December and they're celebrating Springsteen style. Black tees, tight jeans, and Hank Azaria & the EZ Street Band live on stage. Come dressed in your best Bruce Stringsteen-inspired look for a chance to win two Season Passes to the Center’s 2026 winter lineup! Saturday, December 27th
New Year's Eve
Bringing in the new year in Crested Butte is magical. Holiday lights brighten up the town, snow blankets the hillsides, fireworks celebrate the occasion along with a torchlight parade down the ski slopes. Add to that a bunch of live music shows, celebrations, and dining opportunities and you've got one of the most memorable ways to spend the evening. MORE INFO
Alley Loop
The Alley Loop is not your typical cross-country ski event. The course starts, finishes, and passes through the heart of downtown Crested Butte winding around on snow covered streets, narrow alleys, and one lane bridges. At any given time, you may be cheered on by an alley party, find yourself surrounded by oompa loompas, or skiing past a train of people connected by a crazy costume. Race for place or just get dressed up for fun on February 1st, 2025. REGISTRATION AND MORE INFO
CB Nordic Yurt Dinners & Brunches
These dining events are all season long! You will snowshoe or cross-country ski under starry skies over an easy 1-mile groomed track to a cozy yurt tucked away in the woods. Here an all-inclusive 5 course meal, drinks, and a roaring fire await. Listen to live tunes, enjoy the culinary creations, and sip on wine, beer or a specialty cocktail. It’s a night you and your loved ones won’t soon forget. Sunday brunches offer a perfect pitstop for coffee, pie, and a bunch of other delicious items on the menu.
