Local time UTC-6Checked 0 viewsHDMountains

This live stream shows the Refuge Paradise warming house at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, a mountain base in the high Rockies of western Colorado. It is useful for anyone planning a day on the slopes or checking whether the mountain is open and what the weather is doing right now.

About Crested Butte

Crested Butte is a former mining town at roughly 2,700 metres in the Elk Mountains, known for its preserved historic core and its steep, wild terrain. The area has a strong outdoor culture, with skiing in winter and hiking, mountain biking and wildflower meadows in summer. The town keeps much of its small-community character, and the surrounding peaks give the valley a dramatic, open feel throughout the year.

What the camera shows

The view is centred on a warming house at the resort, so it is most useful for seeing snow depth, lift traffic and the general light on the mountain during the day. Because the picture comes from a mountain location, conditions can change quickly. Mornings after fresh snowfall and late afternoons, when the light turns warm on the slopes, are often the most worth watching, depending on the view on the day.

Planning your visit

Winter is the main season, with reliable snow generally from December into spring, while summer brings mild days and cool nights at this altitude. Expect sudden weather changes and bring layers. Nearby cameras on this site show the resort base, Elk Avenue in town and views of the Butte, which help you compare conditions across the valley before you go.

Getting around

Crested Butte is a few hours by road from Denver and the nearest larger airports, and the last stretch is mountain driving that can be slow in snow. In town, most visitors walk between the historic streets and the resort. Check the live weather on this page before setting out, as mountain roads can be affected by storms.
