Crested Butte Mountain Guides

When my wife booked the trip, she specifically asked about weather considerations and was told that if it was one of those unusually rainy days in Crested Butte, we would not be held financially responsible. We booked far in advance as we were told there were only a few spots left. However, when it was pouring rain that morning, the trip went ahead and we were informed that they hired the second guide just for us, and they charged us the full amount. I would strongly recommend you not book your trip before you check the weather close to the day of your planned excursion. It does look like they made it, but I felt that CB Mountain Guides did not stand behind their word. They said the guides felt the trip could be done safely, however, the weather conditions did not seem safe to us.
As an aside, when we were making our decision about the trip, we asked one of the guides about the anticipated trail conditions. Rather than answering our question, he told us that if we did not feel we could make it all the way to the top, it would be ok only to proceed a part of the way. My wife and I are avid runners and have done numerous hikes in Yellowstone, Grand Teton, the Adirondacks, Aspen and Crested Butte. My concern was not about the duration of the hike, but the conditions and quality of the trail. I did not appreciate the assumption we were unable to complete the hike. However, that may just be my crankiness now that I have reached the golden age of 45.
