Alpine Ski Tour on Crested Butte Mountain Resort
Join us for an afternoon of skiing with RMBL docents and educators at Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR)! Learn how geology and snowpack trends shape Crested Butte as a premier ski destination – and how spring runoff transforms the mountain into a wildflower paradise. The group will explore intermediate “blue” terrain off the Paradise, Painter Boy, and Red Lady lifts. We’ll finish the guided portion of the tour around 3:30 PM. Afterward, participants are welcome to continue skiing or join the group back at RMBL 365 for a beverage and some social time. Participants must provide their own ski gear and have a valid CBMR lift ticket. This is a guided tour, and all participants should be able to ski intermediate terrain independently. Space is Limited – Please RSVP on our website!
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
