Leigh,

I have skied at Crested Butte.  It's basically an intermediate mountain where they glommed on some upper bowls and "extreme" terrain.  But the lift layout is awkward.  In some ways it's like Breck/Copper/Keystone where they also added black diamond terrain but with issues such as awkward lifts, extreme altitude, limited vertical and a distinct lack of trees.  IMHO, the best additions were at Keystone where they expanded horizontally and managed to create a balanced ski area.

CB is pleasant with nice scenery and an abundance of Texans.  Certainly a reasonable place to ski at the right price.

Yes, I like Stevens Pass and A-Basin.  My kind of ski areas.
