About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

First Tracks CB, Slopeside, true ski in/out above kids ski school!

Summary:
3 BR/2 BA, loft w/twin bunk.  Ski school is on the 1st floor, condo on the 2nd.

The Space:
Tailored to families, First Tracks CB (Whetstone Building) is a 3+ bedroom/2 bath, slope side Ski-in/Ski-out condo that sleeps 8. This condo is directly above Crested Butte’s ski school (called Camp CB) and a snowball’s throw from the resort's main high speed lifts (Silver Queen and Red Lady). Please note: the town of Mt CB has a ballot measure to be voted on in November 2024 that could raise taxes 2%. If this passes, all reservations occurring in 2025 will be assessed the additional 2% even if it has already been booked.

The unit is on the 2nd floor of the Whetstone building and upon walking in you'll discover a cozy living room with wood burning fireplace and large screen tv.  As part of this space you have a dining table that seats 6 with additional bar top seating.  The kitchen has granite countertops and is fully equipped kitchen for the chef in the family.  Also on the main floor is the primary bedroom with a king bed and a fully renovated bathroom with a walk in shower.  There is also a full sized washer/dryer across from the bathroom. There are also several decks to watch your skiers from or to just enjoy some Colorado sunshine.  

On the 2nd floor of the condo are 2 bedrooms one with a queen bed and the 2nd with 2 twins.  Between these bedrooms is another full sized bathroom with a tub/shower combo.  There is also a rather large space that we call the "Loft Bunk Room" that has a bunk bed with a twin over twin, a couch and a smart TV.  Bring your tv apps with you and your accounts and watch tv to your hearts content!

As an end unit with private balcony and southern exposures, natural sunlight floods the living area and provides extraordinary unobstructed views of Mt. Crested Butte and surrounding peaks.

The schlep is over…no more dragging the family’s skis across parking lots, etc. to get kids on the mountain. Ski School drop off is 1 flight of stairs below with your private ski locker right outside your door. Drop the kids and hop on the Silver Queen lift in minutes!

Throughout the day, First Tracks CB’s on-slope location is a great base camp. With a full kitchen and dining area, drop in for a bite to avoid the lunch crowds (and long restaurant waits), or warm up with a quick cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace. For those taking a rest day or non-skiers, cozy up for a book or movie by the fireplace and watch your little ones take their first runs on the magic carpet directly outside.

After an epic day of some of Colorado’s best skiing, you are a few strides away from the resort base amenities: Restaurants, apres, spas and ski shops.

Vehicle access is as easy as it gets as the unit has 2 reserved parking spot on site in the same lot as ski school drop off.  AWD or 4WD is suggested to get into the parking lot.

For summer and fall activities, Crested Butte’s renowned mountain biking, kids adventure center and ropes course begins right outside the door.

Designed for families.

Smart HD TVs in every bedroom with Amazon Fire Sticks.

Additional living area/playroom loft on 2nd floor with Smart TV, board games and puzzles. 

Full Washer/Dryer in the unit.

Private ski storage closet at the top of the stairs stocked with a few sleds if the kids still have some energy left at the end of the day!

Bedroom 1 King, Bedroom 2 Queen, Bedroom 3 2 twin beds, Bedroom 4 (loft) twin bunk bed.

NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED anywhere on the premises. Any evidence of smoke will incur fees.  NO PETS ARE ALLOWED! Any evidence of pets will incur fees.

Renters 25 years and older are welcome.

The Neighborhood:
This is truly at the base area. Walk out the door, down the stairs and you are at the Silver Queen. Walk up the slopes slightly to the retail shops. No car needed. Shuttle stop is maybe a 5 minute walk.

Getting Around:
You will want an AWD or 4WD vehicle in winter months if you rent a car or decide to drive. Easy to use free shuttle bus between the town of Crested Butte and Mt Crested Butte, so a vehicle is not absolutely necessary.

Great views and location! Pretty good on the inside.
The condo is in an unbelievable location with great views! Upon arriving we found about 50 dead flies in the upstairs bedroom and another 50+ flying around. We contacted the management company and they apologized. The live flies kept dying during our stay, so we kept finding dead flies everywhere. There is no overhead lighting, so the inside has a dark feel which can feel cozy, or can be hard to play games, etc. Some of the lightbulbs were out and the management company offered to come replace them. One bulb in the kitchen overhead light kept going in and out, which was rather annoying. Overall pleasant stay, but the flies and lights were annoying.

Great spot in the Camp CB/Whetstone Building. Cool mix of old school ski condo decor with mondern updates. Had kids that were very comfortable. And the beds were perfect.

Gorgeous mountainside views
Two decks and large windows showcase spectacular views of Mt Crested Butte and the valley in this perfectly positioned top-floor corner unit. Steps from the lift and a short walk to town shuttles, this spot offers both a quiet on-mountain feel and in-village convenience.

Older building but was nice. Great location next to the lifts. Downstairs bathroom has been remodeled. Windows and screens needs some work. Good communication and fans were brought to us upon request.

Fun location in base village
Great location steps from the summer action at base village, 10 minute drive fro Downtown CB. Very well equipped kitchen. Clean. Comfortable. 4 separate sleeping areas - very nice. Right on the road to Gothic and so close to trailheads in Maroon Bells. Would love this location even more during ski season.

Well appointed
Property is very well appointed. We brought cooking dishes and items such as knives, graters and whisks but didn’t need them. Unfortunately one of the window screens upstairs wasn’t fully attached to the frame so we weren’t comfortable opening the window very far so it got quite warm in there. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable stay with a nice view. We saw deer, a fox, mountain bluebird and liked watching the mountain bikers coming down the hill.

Perfect condo to enjoy Mt Crested Butte
The condo is in the perfect spot. Easy to walk to restaurants, shops, ski school, and lifts. It was cozy and had everything we needed. The fireplace was amazing and there was plenty of logs for the fire. The property management company is wonderful. They have the best communication, are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this condo and hope to book it again!

An enjoyable stay!
The condo and the property was absolutely gorgeous and was furnished nicely with everything I needed. I do recommend exercising for a while before you get there. The steepness of the walk up to the condo and the stairs w/in can exhaust you! I had a great time!

Overall the place was fine for what we needed. Some things definitely need to be repaired/updated. The window screens in the primary room were torn so it made it difficult to keep the window open at night and the crank of the window was broken making it difficult to open/close.

BEST Location!
The location of this property is the BEST! A true ski in/ski out, easy access to all lifts. The kid zone is literally right outside the door, and ski school is down stairs, so if you are going to take a lesson you literally just go meet outside the condo! The other great feature of this condo is that it is an end unit, having large windows on two sides gives nearly a panoramic view of the crested butte of the mountain and can watch the kids ski from inside! It provides extra light and the extra balcony gives the condo a roomy feel. This condo is great for your non-skiers too as they can easily walk around at the base and be in the mix of things- food, shopping, watching, etc. It is cozy, updated, roomy, private, and perfect location. I also loved the closet storage just outside the condo on the balcony, room for the skiis we rented so we didn't have to go to the rental place every morning and evening. There were a few sleds in there also that we had a blast with just outside our door on the snow hills. Even though this condo is right in the mix of things, you feel very secluded and private, as the entrance is on the second floor so you are above the hustle and bustle of people walking by, it was very peaceful. I go every year skiing at Crested Butte, and I will DEFINITELY be checking for the availability of this condo EVERY year!
