What the weather at Crested Butte is usually like

The ski area runs from 2,774 to 3,620 m above sea level - a 846 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -2 °C at the base and -7 °C at the summit. Plan for that 5 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top.

Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March.

By March the base is around 3 °C while the summit still holds -3 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
