real estate for sale: Slump Mutes Call of the Wild As Joblessness Dims Conservationist Ardor, Ski Trails Loom for Colorado Mountain
- 01/31/10 11:47 PM
By JIM CARLTON CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. -- The promise of new jobs amid a recession is weakening the resolve of some rural residents to keep wildlands from development.
That dynamic is evident around this historic mining town of about 1,650, which had long opposed a ski-resort expansion from nearby Mt. Crested Butte to the neighboring national-forest lands of Snodgrass Mountain. The proposal, which has come up several times in the past 30 years, had been repeatedly shot down by locals concerned skiing would ruin the popular hiking and biking area.

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.

real estate for sale: Ski Magazine on Crested Butte, CO - America's Last Ski Town?
- 01/29/10 06:05 AM
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)

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.

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.
