I reserved two mountain bikes from Crested Butte Sports and paid an extra $25 per bike for early…read morepickup so I could be ready for a big ride. Total anticipated bill was $304.50 for the two mountian bikes. When I picked them up, I was shown the Squidlock suspension lockout feature, but when I got home, it didn't work. I called the shop and was told the bike had a known failed Squidlock and they had no replacement available. This is frustrating because the suspension lockout was important for my planned climb on the 401 Trail Loop, and I could have rented from another shop that had fully functional bikes. When I returned the bike and explained my concern, Audi, the owner was defensive, saying most mountain bikes don't have Squidlock (true, but nearly all modern bikes have a suspension lockout). Regardless, renting out a bike with a known failed component without disclosing it is unacceptable. I was only offered $25 off the rental, which did not reflect the impact this issue had on my experience.

We will definitely be back to visit soon! Thanks again to the Aspen Collection Team!

As for this retail store, its located in Snowmass Village, Buttermilk at the base of the mountain. Since I am NOT familiar with ASPEN to begin with, please do pardon my knowledge. Was here with Hubs on SUNDAY January 29th 2012. After almost one quarter day in Aspen, I decide to go to this store, since one I am a "sucker" for souvenirs. This retail store is tiny, and located next to one of the bathrooms. I feel "cramped" just about when I entered this store. YES, the stuffs they sell ARE EXPENSIVE. With all those "high end" outdoor wear, jackets, goggles, gloves what nots. All in all an OK shopping experience here. From the receipt I received as stated these were the details : Aspen Skiing Company Four Mountain Sports - BUTTERMILK Aspen, Colorado (970)-920-0969 Client : 635 The staff behind the counter and who liaise with my purchase is Solomon Cordwell Time : 1:27pm But from online and thru the Aspen Snowmass website, they mentioned that Four Mountain Sports are also the official providers of Aspen/Snowmass merchandise and one of the locations in Buttermilk has this phone number instead. (970) 920-0615 Hence I am still confused with the different phone number details. @17/2012

What really stood out at Ski Cooper was the people. The associates were extremely friendly and made you feel like family -- the kind of place where it feels like they've known you for years, not minutes. That atmosphere alone makes you want to come back. The prices were also extremely reasonable, from lift tickets to food, which is a big plus compared to the big-name resorts. The slopes are well maintained and accurately rated, making it a great mountain for skiers who want solid terrain without the chaos or long lift lines. The only downside during my visit was the snow conditions -- coverage wasn't ideal at the time -- but even with that, the overall experience was still very enjoyable. If you love Sunlight and appreciate friendly staff, fair pricing, and a true community feel, Ski Cooper is absolutely worth visiting.

I have been skiing my whole life and have had Crested Butte on my list to ski for some time. I am glad that I finally made my way over here to ski their slopes. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is owned and operated by Vail Resorts. My buddy and I have Epic Passes and chose to ski here this past winter. This resort is geared toward intermediate to expert skiers as there are lots of blue and black runs. Overall, we had good snow and a fun weekend. We started our day off by taking Red Lady Express Lift from Base Area. We spent a lot of our time hitting the intermediate runs off of Paradise Express Lift. We eventually hit some black runs off of Silver Queen Express Lift. We didn't do it, but Rambo run is the steepest tree-defined ski trail in North America with a 55-degree pitch. That run looks insane. Crested Butte Mountain Resort opened in 1960. We stayed in town near the base of the resort and had a lot of fun. We were able to walk to the lift from our hotel. Crested Butte is a former coal mining town that is a popular tourist destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Mount Crested Butte is in the heart of the Elk Mountains and sits over 9,000 feet above sea level. The town is named after its iconic 12,168-foot mountain peak. You can see the peak while you ski from almost anywhere on the mountain.

Approximately 40% of skiing trails are marked as Double Black Diamond Extreme, so if you're looking for the most challenging terrain, then this is the place for you! But even if you're not an "advanced expert," then there are still plenty of runs that you can take it easy on... or that will push you to keep on learning and getting better! Of all the Vail Resorts, I feel like the Crested Butte team was the friendliest and most welcoming. Definitely try to plan your trip to Crested Butte for when they're getting some fresh powder, as most of the runs will be even more enjoyable! *****FIVE STARS*****
