The route will be on Elk between Second and Third and will be pre-assigned. Do this in a group of 4 or do it on your own. You will play a game, do something nutty, or answer a trivia question at 6 of the 10 bars to earn points. The person or group with the highest points will win a special prize!

Register and pick up your game card on Friday afternoon at the Visitor’s Center from 3:00 – 4:30 PM. Then, meet in front of the Post Office at 5:00PM on Friday. The pub-ski ends at 7:00 PM and awards will follow. Entry is $20 per person.

Nordic Marathon

In it’s 28th year!

Nordic Marathon Saturday Feb 2, 2013 in Crested Butte, CO is not to be Missed

– Annual Alley Loop in Crested Butte
– Registrations fee: $10-$50
– Various Race Course distances for all ages and fitness levels

The Alley Loop Nordic Marathon that is run by the Crested Butte Nordic Center and as of last year is now an official American Birkebeiner race and an important component of the American Ski Marathon Series. The annual marathon is in fact one of Crested Butte’s most significant costume parties and greatest Nordic celebration of the year.

The Alley Loop is a ski race for some, and a fun crazy costume party event for others. With various distances – from a kids 1.5K or 3K course, 5K, 10K, 21K or 42K there is a distance for everyone. All the courses with different start times begin and finish in downtown Crested Butte. The race start and finish line are located in historic downtown Crested Butte at Elk Avenue and Second. The beginning of the course goes through town – down the snow alleys, behind restaurants and stores, over various footbridges and past numerous well wishers and residences. The courses that measure more than 5k head out of town to the flawlessly groomed Nordic trails on the pristine outskirts of Crested Butte. Racers finish to the cheers of on-lookers and are welcomed back with a hot bowl of soup and refreshment at the end of the race. Now the event features a Saturday Taste of the Alley, a Friday night pub-ski crawl, and a Belgium Beer Garden, as well as a special awards ceremony with fabulous prizes and a raffle.

9:15am – 42 km Classic Race
9:30am – 3 km Kid’s Race

Chris is outstanding! We recently bought a second home in Crested Butte and Chris did a great job throughout the whole process. He has a thorough understanding of the market and the benefits and drawbacks of various locations. He was very patient with us as our preferences evolved throughout the search. He gave us valuable information on which to negotiate the purchase. He had great follow-up during the inspection/closing process (when we were not in town) and made sure all of the commitments made by the seller were properly completed.
