Calling All Alumni, Community Members, and the Western Family: Join Us for an Epic Weekend of Skiing, Aprs, and Adventure!

Join us after a day of skiing at Crested Butte Mountain Resort for an epic weekend that includes skiing and riding on Saturday, followed by a unique cross-country yurt adventure on Sunday!
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
