I have been a full time local in Crested Butte since 2000. Previous to that, I was a second
homeowner, commuting here from my "city job" in San Francisco. I couldn't be happier to live
in such a wonderful community. The accessibility to a million acres of National Forest makes
outdoor pursuits an everyday adventure. The ski resort is superior to all I have visited in the
continental US, and I can get from my front door in the town of Crested Butte to the Silver
Queen lift in about 9 minutes. Traffic? Not here, unless they are moving the cows' grazing area
and crossing Highway 135. In that case it's not road rage that is a concern, but a stubborn cow
that is indifferent to your schedule. The public school in Crested Butte is very good due to an
excellent teaching staff. The kids here grow up skiing, hiking, biking, etc. Most kids here start
skiing when they are 2 or 3, so by the time they are in double figures, they are expert skiers.
They even have ski or snowboard lessons for PE during the winter.
As someone who has moved here from a city working in a professional career, I encourage
others to do the same. It is feasible to maintain a high level of professionalism while living an
amazing small town, mountain lifestyle. Going out and skiing a couple of laps at your lunch
break isn't awful either.
Please contact me if I can help you find your own piece of what we call "Paradise".
