Wild Ride
Francesca Pavillard-Cain was born in Crested Butte to avid skiers, Mary Cain and Jean Pavillard, so she grew up in mountain and snow sports all her life. Although she has many talents to fall back on, she has chosen the life of a freeride competitor—for now.
Phoenix, Spellbound, and the Funnel won’t open this year
With a little more than two weeks left to the ski season, there’s been a lot of speculation about Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) around town and in regional and national news. If lease-holder CNL Lifestyles sells its properties, including CBMR, what does it mean locally? (Not much.) Will the resort participate in the Rocky Mountain Super Pass+ next winter? (Yes.) And what about the extremes? Will Phoenix, Spellbound, and the Funnel ever open? (Not this year.) Read on for details: Read More »
Sigrid Cottrell and her two tow-headed brothers would spend every summer 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle in her mother’s homeland of Kiruna, Sweden, visiting their grandparents. “I lived where the reindeer roamed,” Sigrid recalls of the area’s spaciousness but notes, “Swedes live very small,” and in mostly apartments in Kiruna. Sigrid says, “They’re practical people. They don’t have a ‘bigger is better’ mentality. They care about the environment and are very forward thinking in all of that.” Read More »
Growing mountain bike options for valley kids
Kids who love to mountain bike will have their pick of ways to explore the Gunnison Valley this summer. The Crested Butte Mountain Sports Team announced last week it will extend its programming into summer and absorb the resort’s existing Shredders program, and local mom and business owner Amy Nolan has been spearheading the creation of a new development team, Crested Butte Devo.
Add Gravity Groms to the picture—a family-owned mountain bike program about to begin its sixth year of operation in the valley—and it’s a good time to be a kid who loves mountain biking. A quick overview of each program suggests there will be something for every style of rider and every experience level.
750 race groupies to descend on Crested Butte this weekend
When Dan Prater first moved to Crested Butte in the late 1960s, he probably would have never guessed that his legacy would live on in the form of one of the most paramount events in a young skier’s career.
Through the front door of the spacious new home of Open Your Eyes Gallery and Studio on Main Street in Gunnison, three smiling dogs joyously bound, their bodies wiggling in happy greetings of wagging stumpy tails. Francie and Allan Ivy purchased the historic three-story brick building last month and have been busily converting its interior into an art space for their photography work as well as their top-floor home. In two weeks they moved their entire world and lives into the building that was constructed in 1882, when Gunnison still had dirt streets and lots of Wild West cattlemen. Read More »
Following her own path
The aged dark wood of antique colonial furniture may be the first thing you notice walking into Kristi Murrin’s office, at once homey, welcoming and a pocket of Appalachian goodness. She grew up in northern West Virginia, in the former boomtown of Shinnston.
“The classic thing you see in West Virginia is a formerly booming town that stopped booming 40 years ago, so a lot of the buildings are boarded up—big tall buildings, like ten stories tall, boarded up for decades,” Kristi says of the area that is home to depleted coal mines. “It’s really poor, there’s no economy and it’s still like that today but West Virginians are very proud. We’ve always been on the bottom of the economic spectrum. We’re one of the very poorest states in the union so there’s that bonding between everybody, like a family. I go home and still feel that.”
