“Crested Butte is remote, which means guests stay longer and seasons are sharp. Winter skiing and the July Wildflower Festival with mountain biking are the two peaks, and the mud seasons are very quiet. I set week-long ski stays and price wildflower season as a premium summer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Crested Butte books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Use 5 to 7-night minimums over ski holiday weeks.
Price the Wildflower Festival in July as a summer premium.
Price Mt. Crested Butte slope-side homes above town homes in winter.
Use 3-night summer minimums for biking guests.
Set low mud-season floors.

Opening day and early-season snow are uncertain, so I price these weeks moderately with shorter minimums and wait for the snow report before lifting rates.
Holiday weeks and Presidents' Day carry the year in winter, and I lean on Epic Pass travel and spring-break weeks in March to keep rates firm deep into the season.
Lifts close and trails are muddy, so I switch to monthly stays for seasonal workers and remote workers, and plan maintenance in the quiet weeks.
Fat Tire Bike Week and early wildflowers bring riders back, so I set three-night weekend minimums and lift rates for homes close to the trailheads and Elk Avenue.
The Wildflower Festival, the Crested Butte Music Festival and summer family travel fill both towns, so I price the festival weeks highest and protect long summer bookings.
Aspen colour on Kebler Pass brings strong September weekends; after that, I let rates fall toward floors and focus on monthly stays until the lifts reopen.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Crested Butte needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a Crested Butte owner I review your licence status, winter and summer curves, and how your home competes between town, the mountain and Gunnison. Then we plan the twin peaks and the long mud seasons, so each part of the year has a clear target and strategy.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I build a ski curve and a summer curve separately, add Fat Tire Bike Week, the Wildflower Festival and holidays as custom events, set gap rules between ski stays, and switch to monthly settings in the mud seasons.
For Crested Butte lodges and condo hotels I work on the mix of ski packages, summer festival groups and wedding blocks. I set rate fences for holiday weeks, package rules for multi-night ski stays, and a plan for the shoulder seasons when closing some inventory may beat discounting.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Often 4 to 7 nights because the town is remote. Alaa sets minimum stays to match.
Yes, it is a summer peak. Alaa prices it above surrounding weeks.
The town limits the number of licences in residential areas, while Mt. Crested Butte and Gunnison County have their own rules. I always confirm the licence situation for your specific address first, because it decides whether we build a nightly plan or a longer-stay plan.
For many homes summer is now close to winter, especially near trailheads and in town. I price summer festival weeks firmly and treat biking and wildflower demand as their own season instead of copying winter pricing into July, which leaves money on the busiest summer weeks.
