Join us for a panel discussion featuring top local avalanche professionals from across the avalanche spectrum including, John Mortimer, Snow Safety Director for CBMR, Megan Paden, Lead Forecaster for the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse, Ben Pritchett, Lead Forecaster for the CAIC, and Evan Ross, a local CBAC Forecaster. Should be a great evening of open discussion and sharing of snow wisdom! Located in the University Center Ballroom.
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!
