Sledding - Below are my three favorite spots to go sledding in Crested Butte. I don’t recommend sledding at the house or around our property because we have so many trees which are dangerous while sledding.

  1. Pyramid Hill - This is my favorite spot. Short but wide ride is perfect for kids in downtown Crested Butte. Park in the right of way along Pyramid Ave, between Highway 135 and 8th St. CLICK HERE for directions.

  2. Snodgrass Hill - Offers the longest, tallest, and steepest sledding area. For advance sledders who want to go really fast and not recommended for little kids. CLICK HERE for directions.

  3. Nordic Center/ Big Mine Hill - This hill is small, short and a good spot for younger kids. I prefer Pyramid hill over the Nordic center. CLICK HERE for directions

Snow Shoes - We have 5 pair of snowshoes in the garage.  Walking the ridge line in the direction away from the two-car garage door gives you the best views while snowshoeing. Stay away from the ledge to avoid an avalanche/snow slide.

Build a Snowman at the house - There are 2 snowman kits in the garage with carrots/scarfs/hats/etc.
