The Axtel Building, nearest accomodations to the Silver Queen and Red Lady Lifts
Location: Mt. Crested Butte, Crested Butte Area, Southwest, Colorado, USA (Gunnison Airport (GUC) Located in Gunnison Co is 31 Miles) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)
You just CAN'T GET ACCOMMODATIONS ANY CLOSER to the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts than the Axtel Building. If you want a true SKI-IN SKI-OUT for your next ski trip, THIS IS IT !!
Just SKI IN for a quick lunch or break and you're right back on the slopes, or take advantage of the many mountain village and slope side restaurants. Ski school is right next door at the Whetstone building.
Relax after a exhilarating day of slope side fun cozying up to one of the two fireplaces (the wood is stacked on the balconies) or catch the free town shuttle (right at the Axtel parking lot entrance) for an evening in Historic Crested Butte. Sit on the balcony and watch as the skiers and snowboarders come down the beautiful snow covered terrain or read a book, people watch or soak in the atmosphere at one of the best Resorts in Colorado.
If you get the chance to come out here in the summer the weather, wild flowers, sightseeing, mountain views, mountain biking, and hiking are incredible.
If you fly in to Gunnision (GUC) Airport it's only 31 miles to the Resort at Mt Crested Butte. It's a beautiful scenic ride through parts of the Gunnison Valley. There are not any passes to go through as CO-135 N goes from Gunnison to Crested Butte and Mt Crested Butte.

Ski in/Ski Out 50 Feet to the Silver Queen Lift
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Mt. Crested Butte
We fell in love with Crested Butte on our first visit in 1998. We found our unit in the Axtel building in 1999. The location and accessibility to the mountain are important to us. Being only a short walk (50 feet to 75 feet)to the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts and close proximity to the town are terrific.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
There are two balconies in our unit that look out to the base area. One from the bedroom and one from the living room area. In the Winter you can sit and watch the activity around the base area such as skiers and snow boarders approaching the lift areas or coming down the slopes to the Red Lady lift. In the summer you can take the lifts for hiking or biking. Many enjoy taking the biking trip to Aspen. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance or you have a full kitchen to enjoy home cooking. You can ski in for lunch. If you decide to go into town there is a free bus shuttle that will pick you up at the Axtel and Whetstone parking lot. Or you can curl up in front of either of our two fireplaces. The historic town of Crested Butte is a short 3 miles from Mt. Crested Butte for more shopping and fine restaurants.
Silver Queen Ski Lift for Intermediate and Advanced Ski and Snowboarding
