Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review of how a hotel prices, distributes and forecasts its rooms, followed by the strategy, calendar, reports and training to earn more from the same inventory. Unlike outsourced revenue management, the consultant does not make the daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
Demand drivers in Crested Butte: Crested Butte Mountain Resort skiing; The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival; Summer mountain biking and hiking; Western Colorado University events in Gunnison. Typical guests: Skiers and mountain-biking couples and families on 4 to 7 night stays in Mt. Crested Butte and the historic town, plus Gunnison university visitors. Where the work starts: Sharp winter and mid-summer twin peaks around deep spring and autumn off-seasons, week-long ski minimums, and wildflower-season premiums.
Hotels and lodges compete with condos at the base and rely on ski packages, weddings and summer festival demand. We track flight capacity into Gunnison, since winter seats limit demand, and price holiday weeks well ahead. Summer weddings and group retreats fill weekends, so we manage group blocks to avoid displacing higher-paying transient guests during peak festival dates.
The full service is described on our hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how it applies in Crested Butte.

Channels: Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia.
Sharp winter and mid-summer twin peaks around deep spring and autumn off-seasons, week-long ski minimums, and wildflower-season premiums.
For hotel revenue management consulting, that starts from December to March, the strongest window in Crested Butte, and works back to the quiet months.
Crested Butte has two strong peaks and two deep valleys, which makes it one of Colorado's trickiest mountain towns to price. Winter skiing at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, now part of the Epic Pass network, fills condos at the Mt. Crested Butte base and homes in the historic town from mid-December to March. Summer brings the Wildflower Festival in July, mountain biking on world-class singletrack and the Crested Butte Arts Festival. Then April, May, October and November go almost silent. Access is limited to Gunnison airport and long drives, so guests stay four to seven nights. We price each peak separately, set week-long minimums when demand supports them, and manage the shoulders with monthly and long-stay offers.
Ski season, with Christmas, New Year and Presidents' Day as the strongest weeks. Use week-long minimums for holidays and four-night minimums elsewhere.
The resort closes and mud season sets in. Monthly rates for seasonal workers and contractors beat nightly discounts for the few visitors.
Trails open and Fat Tire Bike Week brings riders. Weekend demand builds quickly, so keep minimums short and rates rising.
Wildflower Festival, peak biking and the Arts Festival. Summer peak pricing should match or approach winter rates for many properties.
Aspen colour in late September lifts weekends, then demand falls sharply. Shift to weekly and monthly pricing after foliage.
The Town of Crested Butte limits the number of unrestricted vacation rental licences and voters approved an excise tax on short-term rentals, while Mt. Crested Butte and Gunnison County have their own licensing and lodging taxes. Licence availability and tax levels can change, so confirm the current rules before purchasing or listing a property.
Price winter and summer as separate peaks with their own minimum stays, rate curves and booking windows.
Use week-long minimums at Christmas, New Year and during Wildflower Festival week, with shorter stays elsewhere.
Track Gunnison flight capacity each winter and raise rates when seats into the valley are limited.
Offer monthly rates to seasonal workers and contractors in April, May and November instead of leaving homes empty.
Set gap rules that let three-night stays fill orphan nights between longer ski bookings, priced close to the surrounding nights.

Answers written for Crested Butte & Gunnison, United States.
Crested Butte and Gunnison County have their own licensing and lodging taxes. Licence availability and tax levels can change, so confirm the current rules before purchasing or listing a property. For hotel pricing work, occupancy and tourist taxes decide whether rates are shown inclusive or exclusive; licensing and night caps mainly apply to short-term rentals. For hotel revenue management consulting, the audit checks that your pricing, fees and restrictions reflect these rules, and flags where they cost you revenue or create risk.
Peak demand in Crested Butte: December to March for skiing and July to August for the Wildflower Festival and mountain biking. December to March: Ski season, with Christmas, New Year and Presidents' Day as the strongest weeks. Use week-long minimums for holidays and four-night minimums elsewhere. July to August: Wildflower Festival, peak biking and the Arts Festival. Summer peak pricing should match or approach winter rates for many properties. For hotel revenue management consulting, the audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions actually capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar we deliver sets them in advance.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so we do not promise a number.

Progress is reviewed against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. com and Expedia for hotel-style lodging and international skiers.
