SCOUT REVIEW
Axtel Condominiums in Crested Butte are all about location, location, location. Sitting right at the base of Crested Butte Mountain Resort, these slope-side condos are a dream for skiers and snowboarders who want to roll out of bed, step outside, and be on the lift in minutes. You can literally watch the Silver Queen Lift from your window — a major perk that makes Axtel one of the most convenient ski-in/ski-out options in Crested Butte.
The property offers individually owned units, which means there’s a mix of styles ranging from rustic mountain charm to modern upgrades. Most condos come with full kitchens, living areas with fireplaces, and private balconies overlooking the slopes or base area. It’s not a full-service hotel, but rather a comfortable, practical base for ski-focused travelers who value independence and proximity to the lifts.
While amenities are fairly simple — think ski storage, free Wi-Fi, and parking — the location more than makes up for it. Axtel is steps from restaurants, bars, and rental shops, making it easy to grab dinner, gear, or après drinks without ever getting in a car. For those looking to explore downtown Crested Butte, the free shuttle runs regularly from the base area.
In short, Axtel Condos are ideal for skiers who want maximum slope access and a relaxed, low-maintenance stay. It’s not luxury, but it’s hard to beat for pure ski convenience in Crested Butte.
Who should stay here
Perfect for couples, families, and ski enthusiasts who prioritize ski-in/ski-out access and a central base area location over hotel-style services.
Location
You can’t get closer to the slopes — Axtel sits directly beside the Silver Queen Lift at the Crested Butte base area. Restaurants, ski rentals, and après-ski bars are within a minute’s walk, and the free town shuttle stops nearby for easy access to downtown Crested Butte.

About Crested Butte
Crested Butte, with its steeps looming above gentle beginner slopes, is the perfect playground for more adventurous families where luxury is not necessarily important. They’ll mix quite happily with ski bums who come to the resort for its expert terrain and a laid-back, hippie personality. Its historic downtown area is incredibly picturesque - old Victorian mining buildings surrounded by steep mountains with some fantastic restaurants and bars. Excellent ski school, impeccable grooming, and good variety of accommodation rounds out the reasons why Crested Butte is a terrific choice for a ski holiday.
