2009 Best Places to Ski & Stay in North America 2009 Ski Trends › In our fourteenth annual survey, our readers share their peak experiences—from the mountains that are tops for terrain to hotels that provide the softest of landings
It seems that nothing—short of moving the mountains themselves—can slow down skiers and snowboarders. Even with last winter's economic challenges, U.S. ski resorts tallied more than 57 million visits, making it the fifth busiest season on record. Abundant powder is key, of course, but abundant fun depends on much more: well-groomed terrain … (0 comments)

MINI TOUR: Snapshots of Crested Butte and Gunnison - 01/30/10 03:49 PM

Hartman Rocks, Gunnison. © Xavier Fane. The siren’s blare snapped me out of my daze and back to full attention.
I hadn’t run a stoplight or sped past a police car. I was cross-country skiing at the Crested Butte Nordic Center (CBNC), in hopes of giving my legs some relief from a day-and-a-half of downhilling at Mt. Crested Butte. The trail I was on gave me a panoramic view of town, and I expected a flurry of emergency vehicles gassing it … (0 comments)

Ski Magazine on Crested Butte, CO - America's Last Ski Town? - 01/29/10 02:05 PM
by Philip Higgs, Contributor, SKI Magazine 
 

One day last April, at dusk, a wide pink cloud began billowing over the town of Crested Butte, Colo. Red desert sands were blowing in from Utah's eastern edge, and the sky had turned almost sepia, as if the Wicked Witch herself were about to broom in at any moment.
At The Secret Stash, a niche pizza place at the far end of Elk Avenue festooned with Buddhist prayer flags and floor pillows from Egypt, a few diners and waitresses poked out onto its second-floor back balcony for a look. The dust was … (0 comments)

Crested Butte-Gunnison Valley-Looking Back - 01/29/10 11:23 AM
Last Friday marked the end of the first decade of the 21st Century. We thought it only proper to recap some of the events, people and issues that shaped the past 10 years in the Gunnison Country. It was an eventful time.   In the year 2000 ...  Despite widespread fears, including locally, that the nation’s technology-dependent infrastructure wasn’t going to be able to handle the rollover to a new millennium, Jan. 1, 2000, came and went without Armageddon-like catastrophe.  At the Times, Steve Reed was the editor, and Paul Wayne Foreman rode shotgun. The Miller family left the funeral business … (0 comments)

Crested Butte and Gunnison Real Estate News 1-28-10 - 01/28/10 07:36 AM
Sales hold, prices don't2009 was the year for local 'market correction' in real estateTimes EditorOriginally published 2010-01-28
Working harder to make less. That is an economic phenomenon hitting workers in many industries, all across the country during this recession. And if you gauge it solely by the data, it appears to have rung true for Gunnison County real estate professionals in 2009. They sold nearly as many homes as they did in 2008 (232 compared with 234), but the total dollar volume of those deals dropped 19 percent. The reason, of course, is that prices fell significantly. The average sales price … (0 comments)

Crested Butte Update 1-4-09 - 01/06/10 10:55 AM
Crested Butte Real Estate Update 1-4-10 Dear NEPA Supporters,
CBMR filed its appeal of Forest Supervisor Charlie Richmond’s decision rejecting CBMR’s proposal to put its Snodgrass Mountain expansion plans into the NEPA process on Friday, December 18, 2009.  The Forest Service has until January 19th to respond to the appeal.  We need to now demonstrate to the Forest Service that there is widespread support for the appeal, have Supervisor Richmond’s decision reversed and to place the project into NEPA.  The best way to do this is to write letters of support for the appeal to Forest Chief Tom Tidwell with copies … (2 comments)

Crested Butte Update 11-5-09 - 01/06/10 10:48 AM
Crested Butte Real Estate Update 11-5-09   Well, no one said it would be easy.  Unfortunately, the Forest Service has just notified CBMR that their request to enter into the final NEPA process for the Snodgrass Expansion has been declined.  The reason?  Lack of community support.  Now, being a real estate agent and active local in Crested Butte for the last five years I have heard plenty from both sides.  Myself and many many others are under the impression there is much more support for Snodgrass than against.  The underlying problem I believe comes from CBMR's lack of presenting that support … (0 comments)
