What better place to access lift-serve cross country trails to test your dream bike? Unrivaled mountain scenery, flowy singletrack, and the state's best wildflowers too. Combine all that with Colorado's most genuine mountain town with a plethora of lodging and camping options. What's not to love?
Western Spirit Cycling has partnered with Crested Butte Mountain Resort to provide a summer Outerbike in one of the birth places of the sport. Crested Butte has always been high on the bucket list for hardcore riders, but now the new Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park has something for everyone. Hop on the lift to test the latest and greatest bikes on the classic Crested Butte rides, or ride the fun new trails for everyone at the base area. Repeat as needed. Ride your little heart out, soak up the impressive mountain views, then relax with a tasty beverage at the end of the day. Attendance is capped, so register early to get your spot!
The whole shebang! The premier ticket for the person who wants it all: bike demos, lift tickets, and access to everything that is going on at Outerbike.

Mt. Crested Butte offers quite a bit of lodging in easy walking or biking distance from the Outerbike venue and that’s our first recommendation for Outerbike participants. There is also a little bit of lodging in downtown Crested Butte three miles away that puts you farther from the fun of Outerbike, but closer to the downtown amenities of Crested Butte. There’s also many more lodging options 30 miles south in the city of Gunnison.
Camping details can be found here. There is no camping allowed right at the venue.
