The Crested Butte News Serving the Gunnison Valley since 1999
We’re Skiing!
Last week’s storm dropped over a foot of snow at Lily Lake. We were able to groom a skate and classic track, which made for great early season skiing. Ruthie’s Run on the Bench next to town was track packed on Monday and as you read this, may be groomed, depending on how much snow this latest storm dropped. Check our trail report, Facebook page, or sign up for our e-mailer for updates.
Lily Lake Parking Notice
Due to safety concerns, the county is requesting that all Lily Lake users park at the Irwin Y and not on Kebler Road. Crested Butte Nordic is providing a groomed trail heading out from the Y to access the climb to the Lily Lake trail system. Please remember that Irwin residents also use the parking area at the Y, so please park accordingly.
Crested Butte Nordic annual meeting and potluck dinner
The Crested Butte Nordic annual meeting and potluck dinner will be held Thursday, November 12 at 6 p.m. Our annual “meeting” is quite informal and is a great way to get together with the rest of the Nordic community and hear about what is going on this winter. It’s also the best potluck around, complete with beer from the Elevation Beer Company.

The Nordic Center officially opens this Saturday, November 14, at 8 a.m. You can come in to rent gear, purchase merchandise, and pick up your season passes. Remember, this year all season pass sales are online at cbnordic.org and you can pick your pass up at the Nordic Center before November 14.
