The Last Great Colorado Ski Town
Off the beaten track and all the sweeter for it, Crested Butte has a genuine soul that larger ski resorts can only hope to imitate. The fact that the town comprises one of the largest National Historic Districts in Colorado certainly lends authenticity to its Old West charm. The fact that there are more cows than permanent residents in the county adds an element of tranquility. The shops and cultural events provide unique, one-of-a-kind experiences, while the dining scene boasts more fine restaurants per capita than any other town in the United States. But what Crested Butte doesn’t have is the urban invasion that has tainted so many other ski resorts. Absent are the stoplights, noisy interstates, traffic jams, franchised storefronts, strip malls and gasoline alleys.

An Extraordinary Mountain With an Extraordinary Future
An enormous monolith rising to over 12,000 feet, Mount Crested Butte is one of the most visually striking ski mountains in Colorado. Famed for its extreme skiing and backcountry terrain, today’s Mount Crested Butte Resort offers 57% of its trails as intermediate and 24% as beginner terrain. Now under the expert management of owners Tim and Diane Mueller, the resort will offer numerous improvements including a new base village, expanded terrain and snowmaking, and amenities that will offer a total ski experience to rival the greatness of the Butte itself. The Mueller’s phenomenal track record includes transforming Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont into one of the top five ski destinations in the east.

Not One, But Five Great Wilderness Areas
Wildhorse is centrally located to five of the most spectacular wilderness areas in Colorado: The Maroon Bells – Snowmass Wilderness, The Raggeds Wilderness, West Elk Wilderness, Collegiate Peaks and Fossil Ridge. Combined, these national treasures offer close to one million acres of unspoiled wilderness, giving Wildhorse residents easy access to some of the best fly-fishing, mountain biking, hiking and white water in the Colorado Rockies. Capping the diversity of landforms in this area, the Oh-Be-Joyful Valley, one of Colorado's loveliest glacial valleys, sweeps out from the range toward Crested Butte and the Slate River. When it comes to sheer mountain splendor, few areas compare with the Elk Mountains and Maroon Bells - Snowmass Wilderness, both visible from Wildhorse.

Elegant Slopeside Living Without the Pretense
Wildhorse is the only place in Colorado where you can own a brand new, elegant single-family ski home without the world-class hype and trophy price tag….and without the headaches of custom building. Located in the master planned community of Prospect at Mt. Crested Butte, within walking distance to the Prospect and Gold Link ski lifts, Wildhorse offers expansive views of the Butte, and nearby wilderness areas. Wildhorse residents will enjoy access to 276 acres of open space and 12 miles of recreational trails for Nordic skiing, biking and hiking. Carefree living is assured by the Wildhorse Homeowners Association.

Removed, But Not Remote
Though Crested Butte feels like a world removed, nestled in a valley at the road’s end, it is as accessible by air as any ski resort in America. Skiers can easily fly into the Gunnison/Crested Butte Regional Airport, located 30 minutes away, from anywhere in the United States, with convenient international connections as well.
