...rest Service to establish parameters and guidelines for the ski area. Chuck was both a renegade and a visionary. During the summer of '71, initial construction began on the ski trails. Today, Chuck’s dream is alive and well.

As stated in a 1969 US Forest Service report, if there were a mountain that had terrain for skiing it would be Copper Mountain. It is the most nearly perfect ski mountain in the U. S. Over the years, new lifts were added and Copper grew to its current size of 2,465 acres. What was once a sleepy little day ski area is now one of Colorado's premier year-round destination resorts. In 1997, the resort was purchased by Intrawest - a worldwide leader in resort operations and real estate development.

Now the resort consists of not only an incredible mountain, but multiple villages, hundreds of buildings and a million other tangible, moving pieces. Copper is, and always has been, bigger than the tangible. Copper is about people. It’s about spirit. It’s about attitude, passion, heart, guest loyalty and financial strength. It’s about a place that provides a t...

New Branding
After months of research and development, Crested Butte has a new brand positioning expressed in the tag line, ''Inspire your Passion''. The new brand promise of ''Inspiring your passion for adventure'' and its implications will be seen resort-wide. Beginning with a new marketing and advertising campaign, the brand will also be reflected in other areas of the resort from signage to employee uniforms, even in the architectural design of future real estate development.
''Establishing a new brand message and promise by defining what makes Crested Butte different from other mountain destinations is only the beginning. Providing higher levels of guest service and standards that match our brand promise is our focus.'' said Ethan Mueller, D...
