Weather information for the Crested Butte area is provided below. Average temperatures, climate details and current forecasts are included!
Climate
Crested Butte is high in the Rockies and the weather is often cold. Temperatures typically drop below freezing at night, even in summer. The mountains receive heavy snow in winter months, and US 135 is the only road you can count on to be open during snow season. Mid-summer days are usually pleasantly warm, but the high altitude means there's a greater danger of sunburn.
