Endowment

Crested Butte Nordic fosters outdoor experiences and community well-being through high-quality programs, events, and winter trails. Our outdoor winter recreation programs are fun and inclusive, welcoming people of all ages and abilities.

As a community organization, Crested Butte Nordic is dedicated to sharing the joy of winter. Winter in the Gunnison Valley is long and cold. We understand that outdoor recreation significantly improves physical and mental well-being. Our programs are crucial in getting residents and visitors outside on skis or snowshoes to enjoy and thrive through the winter months. 

We take pride in offering affordable and accessible programming for all. Our youth programs get kids on skis from PreK through high school for a fraction of the cost of similar offerings in other mountain towns. Our adult programs are available for a nominal fee of only $30 a session. We also offer free programming through our community outreach channels, including collaborations with the Gunnison Watershed School District, Inmigrantes Unidos de Gunnison, Gunnison Valley Health, and other local nonprofits.

An endowment ensures that these programs remain affordable for all. Your gift supports elementary students in Ski for PE, high school athletes competing at Junior National Qualifiers, community outreach programming, and affordable clinics for adults of all ages and abilities. When you give to our endowment, you give the gift of winter. Thank you.
