Pyramid Sled Hill

Crested Butte's newest sled hill is the most popular destination with plenty of parking. This short but wide hill offers plenty of space to spread out and some of the best views in the valley. Park in the right of way along Pyramid Ave, between Highway 135 and 8th St. CLICK HERE for directions.


Crested Butte Community School

Looking for something a bit steeper? Any of the hills behind the Crested Butte Community School and the Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park are fair game for sledding! These runs are steeper and longer and ungroomed. The fresh powder is well worth the hike. Park behind the school at the Town Ranch Trailhead. CLICK HERE for directions.


Snodgrass Trailhead Hill

Looking for a sled hill on Mt. Crested Butte? Look no further. The Snodgrass Trailhead offers the longest and tallest sledding area in all of the Butte. With plenty of parking and the hill starting right from the parking area this hill couldn't be better. And did we mention the amazing views? From the parking lot head north through a fence and the hill is on your left.  CLICK HERE for directions.

Big Mine Hill

Winter 2023/24 - This hill is no longer groomed. The small hill at Big Mine Park located next to the Crested Butte Nordic Center is a great place to go for both kids and adults. This hill is small, short and perfect for younger kids. The park is open from sunrise to sunset. CLICK HERE for directions
