It was so great, while it lasted: Club Med Crested Butte was North America’s only all-inclusive ski resort, with excellent (all-included) lessons, kids programs on and off the slopes, and friendly Club Med ambiance. Let's hope Club Med opens another one in North America! (There are several in France.)
