Pub What? The Pub Ski is a pub crawl on skis! With Crested Butte's main drag - Elk Avenue closed down and groomed with snow, competitors ski between participating venues in this novel "ski" competition. How? You'll answer trivia, undertake a challenge, or do something plain nutty to earn points on your scorecard at each bar.  Be sure to wear a costume to receive bonus pub points! The highest point earners will be awarded with illustrious Pub Ski Champion prizes.…

The Alley Loop is not your typical American Birkebeiner Qualifier. The course winds its way through snow-laden streets, alleyways and narrow bridges in the hart of downtown Crested Butte. At any given time you may be cheered-on by town revelers, find yourself surrounded by Oompa Loompas, or navigating a crazy costume train assemblage… Racers are sometimes forced into making daring passes and depending on their luck, may even get waylaid on a bridge for a brief moment. Once you make it through town, you are rewarded by pristine tracks and epic views on the surrounding Crested Butte Nordic trail network. If you like normal, you may want to look for another race. If you are up for anything, this is right up your alley!

The Gothic Mountain Tour is a gorgeous backcountry ski race that travels 22 miles and 5000 vertical feet around Gothic Mountain, just outside of Crested Butte, Colorado. It is a great training race for the Grand Traverse, traveling through similar terrain (some even say it's harder). The race finishes with a party at our Backcountry Yurt.

An extraordinary Colorado backcountry route! The Grand Traverse is a point-to-point ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen.  Racers travel 40 miles across the Elk Mountain range, climbing over 6,800 vertical feet. To ensure competitor safety, racers must have a partner, carry mandatory gear, and begin the race at midnight when avalanche danger is low.
