On Mountain Location

Ravenwood House is in Mt. Crested Butte, within yards of the West Wall Lift (brand new high-speed chair). This is truly within walking distance -- or just jump on the free shuttle -- no need to bother with parking. Leave your skis at the West Wall Lodge and walk home for lunch.

Getting Around:

  • Walk straight from the house to the West Wall Lift. You can do it in your ski boots.

  • Stand in the driveway and flag down the free shuttle that takes you to the base area. Get off there for access to base lifts or stay on to reach other locations on the mountain. (note: during base village construction the base area shuttle stops may move)

  • Ravenwood House is a short walk to the free shuttle that takes you off-mountain and down into the Town of Crested Butte. 

  • Ravenwood House's on-mountain location and free downtown shuttles allow you to leave your car in the garage all trip if you wish -- or, not bother bringing a car at all.

  • If you are driving, Ravenwood House is one of the shortest drives to the Town of Crested Butte from anywhere on-mountain.

  • We are across the street from the main summer bike path / walking path that takes you down to the Town of Crested Butte and up through the town of Mt. Crested Butte. Easy access to world class singletrack mountain biking trails.
