A Few Short Weeks
Until Opening Day!
Season Pass Prices Go Up Nov. 1
It’s that time! Night time temps are regularly dropping below freezing and storms are in the forecast. Fingers-crossed we’ll have snow on The Bench on November 12 so we can start skiing on opening day.
In the meantime, mark your calendar for our Annual Fall Potluck! We will be gathering this Friday, October 21, outside under the cover of the Big Mine Ice Arena from 4 – 6pm.
Make sure you get your Season Passes by October 31. Prices go up Nov. 1!
Additionally, Masters Community registration is now open and will likely fill up! Sign up soon to secure your spot.

Register for Alley Loop Today!
Prices go up Nov. 25.
While it may seem a bit early to be thinking about your nordic marathon aspirations for the coming year, we never think it’s too early to set some inspiring goals to keep you moving and motivated. In previous years, there have been staggered tiers in Alley Loop pricing, but for the sake of simplicity we are doing a two tier price structure this year, meaning that prices go up to full on Nov. 25. Register for the Alley Loop today to lock in the early bird price!
Stone Grinding Special

Crested Butte Nordic is partnering with Boulder Nordic to bring you a pre-season stone grinding opportunity. Stone grinding is great way to freshen up your bases to get ready for the coming season. This service works for all track skis, including fish scales and twin skins. If you want to take advantage of this special, drop skis off at CB Nordic by Oct. 31 with this form.
