Transportation: Crested Butte in the Winter

Why worry about who’s driving, warming up the car, clearing snow off, and finding parking? Don’t let transportation concerns add stress to your vacation. Leave the winter driving to San Moritz Condos! We offer a shuttle service as well as recommendations for regional transit companies.

San Moritz Shuttles

San Moritz Condos has a fleet of Chevrolet Suburbans exclusively for guests of San Moritz. There is no charge to use the shuttles, it’s complimentary. When you’re ready for a ride, all you need to do is tell us where we’re picking you up from, where you going, the number of people, and which condo you’re staying in. It’s just that easy! So whether you’re heading to the Base Area or into Crested Butte for dinner, let the San Moritz Condo shuttles be your first choice for transportation!

The San Moritz shuttles are a seasonal service and their operating schedule coincides with the ski season (Nov. 25 – April 3). The shuttles operate daily from 8:00 AM until midnight. From 8:00-10:30 AM and 3:00-5:30 PM, the shuttles only make trips to and from the Base Area. Outside of those hours, the shuttle can make trips to town or any other requested locations within Mt. Crested Butte and Crested Butte. Each suburban can comfortably hold 7-10 passengers with plenty of room for ski and snowboard gear.

The Mountain Express

Mountain Express is a free shuttle service that runs year round, but during the winter schedule the buses run every 15 minutes. The Mountain Express features several buses painted with a different and unique theme.

During the ski season (Nov. 25 – April 3), the town shuttle makes stops every 15 minutes. The closest stop to San Moritz Condos is the Mountaineer Square Transit Center, which is located in the Base Area. The first bus picks up from Mountaineer Square at 7:30 AM and the last bus is at midnight. To avoid walking to Mountaineer Square, you can hop on a connecting bus called the Crystal/Castle Shuttle.

The Crystal/Castle Shuttle makes stops at various condominium complexes before heading to Mountaineer Square. The Crystal/Castle Shuttle makes 2 stops on Hunter Hill road near Timberline Condos and WestWall Lodge. Both stops are a short walk from San Moritz Condos. The first shuttle picks up at 8:18 AM and stops every 30 minutes. The last bus is at 10:48 PM.

For those late nights, from 11pm-midnight, you can ride the Condo Express. This shuttle serves as needed, so you need to contact them for pick-up.
