Dear CB Nordic Community,

We love you!


Happy Valentine's Day! What a fantastic day to celebrate our love for this wonderful sport and the CB Nordic Community. 

Thank you for another great Alley Loop. The 38th Annual tour of the Crested Butte alleys is in the books. This event would not have been possible without your support. This year, we counted on 112 volunteers contributing over 650 hours, welcomed a record 1,194 skiers, relied on the support of the Town of CB and our neighbors along the course, and relished in the costume parade of Barbies, hoop skirts, animal onesies, and of course, so much Spandex. The Alley Loop really is a celebration of this town, this community, and a whole lot of love.

Looking ahead, we're excited for another five weeks of winter, Masters pop-up clinics, and good times on the trails with friends. Let's make the most of it all!

In the event world, we're turning our sights towards the Gothic Mountain Tour this coming Sunday. If you're out on the West Side Trails, give those 200 skimo athletes a cheer as they skate their way to the finish line at the Magic Meadows Yurt. There will be no Sunday Bistro this weekend. But fear not; we'll be back the following five Sundays to round out the winter season.

See you on the trails!

Peanut Lake Road Survey

Share your thoughts!

The Town of Crested Butte, in partnership with Crested Butte Nordic, is collecting data to better understand winter travel patterns and trailhead experiences on Peanut Lake Road. This information will help inform future considerations on transportation and trailhead improvements.

Share your thoughts on the Peanut Lake Road Survey. The survey is open until March 29 at 5 p.m. Thank you for your time and input.

Gray Hares

Wednesday Outings All Winter

The Gray Hares, recreational skiers ages 50 and beyond, meet weekly on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. through mid-March. Gray Hares are not super athletes but social folks who love to go out as a group, get some fresh air, and enjoy the views along the trail. Now is the perfect time to join as the days get warmer and longer. While the program is free, ski passes and rental equipment can be purchased at the Nordic Center prior to each class. Email Jane Banks for more information and meeting locations.

Respect the Trails

Keep Dogs on Dog Trails Only
 

Our trails run through a combination of private, conserved, and public land. Access to these trails is governed by agreements with landowners, the Crested Butte Land Trust, Western Colorado University, and other entities. Please educate yourself on the trail rules and uses before you head out.

On the East Side, dogs are allowed on Town Ranch, Riverbend, and the Rec Path. On the West Side, dogs are allowed on Beaver Trail, Kapushion, Pooch's Paradise, and Mike's Mile (moose permitting).

Thank you for bringing your furry friend along on the dog trails ONLY. Dogs on other trails may jeopardize our agreements and access to trails for all.

Thank you for displaying your trail pass!
