ELEVEN DESTINATIONS & ADVENTURES SCARP RIDGE LODGE, COLORADO EXPERIENCE
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to custom-make powerful experiences that impact the people who impact the world. Whether heli-skiing near the Arctic Circle in Iceland or casting for bonefish on a remote island in the Bahamas, Eleven experiences are a different kind of escape. We are not found in traditional destinations. Our lodges, chalets and beach houses are miles from the main road - in a historic farming village high along the French- Italian border, on a rugged river in Patagonia, and in other unique locations away from the crowd.
In each destination, world-class food and lodging are combined with guided outdoor activities on mountains, in the backcountry, and on the water for guests of all ages and all skill levels. In urban locations our guides gracefully introduce guests to local culture, knowledge and places known only to native insiders.
No matter where in the world they may be, every facility has five-star accommodations, award-winning chefs, extensive wine cellars, saunas, steam rooms, spas, and friendly, expert guides who will show you new dimensions of life, friendship, family and adventure.
Eleven Experience is headquartered in Crested Butte, Colorado. Eleven represents a new standard in experiential travel. We quench a thirst for unprecedented adventures, authentic connections with down-to-earth guides and deeply personalized holidays for the Adventure Capitalist. ELEVENEXPERIENCE.COM

ABOUT CRESTED BUTTE Historically a mining and ranching community, Crested Butte, which sits 8,885ft above sea level, saw a revival in the 1960’s when a ski resort opened on Mt. Crested Butte. This national historic district has been dubbed “Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town.” Averaging 300 inches of snow per year, with almost twice that just outside of town at our cat ski area, Crested Butte is the perfect place to stage your next winter adventure.
Known as the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado,” Crested Butte summers have a lot to offer. From the Wildflower Festival to the Film Festival, there is no shortage of cultural and outdoor pursuits. Crested Butte is considered the mountain biking mecca of the world, and boasts the largest single track trail system in the United States with more than 750 miles of track to be had. With other activities on tap such as hiking, fishing and rock climbing, this area provides many opportunities to get out and explore.

Scarp Ridge Lodge and Sopris House offer guests one of the most exclusive ski experiences in the world. Accessible by tricked-out snowcats, our guests have access to 1000+ acres of ski terrain in Irwin, Colorado. Coupled with private use of our on-mountain chalets, guests have the opportunity to ski untouched cold-smoke powder and enjoy the company of their families and friends day in and day out.
WHAT IS A SNOWCAT? WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT ELEVEN’S SNOWCATS? A snowcat is an enclosed vehicle used to drive up and down the mountain so that you can access untouched terrain for the best possible skiing conditions. Our snowcats are custom built with your comfort in mind – think leather seats, flat screen tvs, heat, sound systems and large windows.
WHERE IS IRWIN COLORADO? HOW DO WE GET THERE? Irwin is located 12 miles west of Crested Butte. The snowcat will pick you up at the front door of Scarp Ridge Lodge or Sopris House. You’ll enjoy a 45 minute ride through the wilderness to Irwin.
DO WE HAVE A HOME BASE AT IRWIN? WHERE DO WE HAVE LUNCH? We have two cozy on-mountain chalets at Irwin where your group will put on your ski boots, have lunch and enjoy après. You’re also welcome to hang out at the cabins throughout the day if you want to take a break or lounge by the fire.
HOW MUCH SNOW DOES IRWIN GET EACH YEAR? Irwin is famous for its cold-smoke powder – and lots of it. The area receives an average of 450 inches of snow each year.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE TERRAIN AT IRWIN? Irwin offers a variety of terrain. Think open alpine bowls, steep narrow chutes, wide untouched hillsides, and tight tree skiing terrain. While we find our terrain is best suited for intermediate to expert skiers, our guides are well versed in working with children and skiers of varying abilities.
