So Many Crested Butte Adventures – It is said that “Crested Butte is the Last great Colorado Ski Town”. We are a unique place and I continue to work with new Buyers that have just found Crested Butte and say they have “looked everywhere” and Crested Butte is truly special. This area has a lot to offer and I continually find new adventures here that add to my love of Crested Butte. I became a second homeowner in 1999 – and moved to Crested Butte with my wife and three daughters in 2009 and we have embraced the mountain lifestyle, the charm of our town, and the warm community here in Crested Butte.
I am very active and enjoy experiencing new adventures in and around Crested Butte. If you saw the article in my Blog – the newest addition is Fat Biking and a great event was hosted here in Crested Butte – The first ever Fat Bike World Championship race. Fat Biking in Crested Butte is one more thing that adds to the fun for everyone and many local shops offer fat bike rentals. I host an annual Boys Ski Trip and this year in addition to a Snow Cat day we got on Fat Bikes and all had a great time.
Give Back in Crested Butte – Another thing that makes Crested Butte a special place are the efforts of the many non-profits in the Crested Butte area. There are capital campaigns for both the Biery-Witt Center on Mt. Crested Butte and the new facility proposed by The Center for the Arts in Crested Butte. I have donated to both and I hope you will support these two great capital campaigns as well!
Both are great venues that we all will use and will spark economic impact in attracting events and visitors to our valley. I have donated to both, and hope you will support these two great campaigns as well!
