People often ask me “What makes Crested Butte so special?” Well, there’s always things you don’t see or think about until you need them, like good quality medical care. And Gunnison Valley Health plays a huge role for visitors, locals and second homeowners here in Crested Butte.

When I Needed Help!

#1 I was training for the Grand Traverse in the Crested Butte backcountry, after climbing up up up… we got to ski down. We were in deep powder, I fell and somehow my ski came up and hit me in the face and luckily did not injure my eye. I immediately went to the GVH Clinic at the base area and they cleaned me up – and sealed my wound with medical superglue. 

#2 Last summer my wife decided she want to build a fire pit… long story short – I had my pick-up truck filled with a ton of gravel, I was attempting to use a lever and a tow-strap to help pull a boulder out of the ground as my wife Francene was behind the steering wheel. Then everything went terribly bad… The strap around the boulder slipped off, the boulder fell back in hole, the 4×4 lever came up like a see-saw and hit me in the neck and jaw – I was thrown 10 feet and was knocked out! The next thing I know I am in the ambulance on the way to the hospital for a cat scan… I was lucky that I only had a tooth that cracked in half and concussion. All good!
