Whether heli-skiing near the Arctic Circle in Iceland or casting for bonefish on a remote island in the Bahamas, Eleven experiences are a different kind of escape. We are not found in traditional destinations. Our lodges, chalets and beach houses are miles from the main road - in a historic farming village high along the French- Italian border, on a rugged river in Patagonia, and in other unique locations away from the crowd.

Crested Butte. This national historic district has been dubbed “Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town.” Averaging 300 inches of snow per year, with almost twice that just outside of town at our cat ski area, Crested Butte is the perfect place to stage your next winter adventure. Known as the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado,” Crested Butte summers have a lot to offer. From the Wildflower Festival to the Film Festival, there is no shortage of cultural and outdoor pursuits. Crested Butte is considered the mountain biking mecca of the world, and boasts the largest single track trail system in the United States with more than 750 miles of track to be had. With other activities on tap such as hiking, fishing and rock climbing, this area provides many opportunities to get out and explore.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY SCARP RIDGE LODGE Located in downtown Crested Butte, our lodge was formerly the Croatian Hall, where miners would gather for drinking and dancing during the coal mining heyday. It purposefully lives like a home. Think open floor plan, stocked kitchen and pantry, and flat screen TV slideshows from your day’s adventure. Guest-controlled Crestron entertainment systems are set to music preferences, while coffee and a pre- heated sauna each morning are prep for tackling the trails.

    Final Environmental Impact Statement Volume 3 Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest Headwaters of the South Fork of the White River Jan Spencer – Landscape Architect Writer/Editor Ron Wright – Soil Scientist Bill Kight – Heritage Resource Manager Kit Buell – Wildlife Biologist Carolyn Upton – Social/Economics Specialist Marsha Raus – Fisheries Biologist Narrative and Photography Contributors: Ron Taussig, Beth Boyst, George Myser, Tom Kuekes, Al Grimshaw, Dan Mathews, Paula Johnston, Kathy Hardy, Angela Glenn, Gary Osier P-1 Appendix P White River National Forest Preface The word landscape evokes certain unique and special images and meanings to each of us as individuals. As children we may have attached a sense of place to some small parcel of ground, be it a backyard or an open meadow blooming with the rainbow color of wildflowers. The rest of our lives then build upon those early impressions, layer upon layer of geographic recognition. Year after year we go back to a stream, yet each time we fish there we read something new into the landscape. It may even be some picnic spot with a backdrop of mountain majesty we can still see in our mind even with our eyes closed. These places uplift our spirit, but we are hard-pressed to put into words exactly how or why we feel the way we do. The comforting sense of familiarity a prominent granite peak holds for us never quite gets communicated beyond the photo image. “Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.

  • East River Basin
    Chapter 6 The East River Basin Basin Characteristics The East River is made up of a diverse community of water users including ranchers that irrigate pasture grass, popular tourist towns, an important trout fishery, boating enthusiasts, and a major ski area. It is host to multiple municipal water providers that serve the towns of Mt. Crested Butte, Crested Butte and Crested Butte South as well as a number of smaller providers. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is a major economic driver in the valley and draws water from the East River for snowmaking. Wildlife, watershed views, and ecosystem services are sustained by water flowing in creeks and support vibrant angling and stand-up paddle board businesses. In addition to hosting a range of uses, the East River Basin faces diverse challenges presented by a legacy of mining and impaired streams, a growing population, and competing water uses. Finding collaborative ways to protect these uses while improving watershed health is the goal of the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District’s watershed management planning process. The primary objective of this section is to provide a summary of existing water use within the East River Basin, including irrigation, municipal, industrial, instream flow, and recreational water uses. A major task for the WMPC was to review and assess the available information; update and refine the information; identify data gaps; and recommend future data collection efforts. The information collected as part of the data inventory process served as a key component to both identify needs in the East River Basin and to improve modeling tools being used to assess these needs.

    GUNNISON COUNTY ECONOMIC INDICATORS REPORT AUGUST 2014 ECONOMIC INDICATORS REPORT AND ONLINE RESOURCES The purpose of this report is to provide accurate and current data is critical in understanding the strengths, weakness- es and needs of the community. The goal of this report is to provide economic and demographic information to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), citizens, businesses and other organizations that will assist in making in- formed decisions. This is an evolving project and additional areas of analyses may be included in the future to address carrying capacity of the County, sustainability and other relevant issues. Gunnison County Community Development and Geographic Information Services have prepared this Economic Indicators Report for the purpose of creating a comprehensive source of information.

These counties were chosen for their similarities to Gunnison County. Staff utilized data from Head- waters Economics, U.S. Census, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the 2013 Gunnison County Community Survey and 2005 Gunnison-Crested Butte Corridor Plan in preparing this report. Although the data is somewhat dated, it pro- vides useful data on community values which have likely not changed dramatically. GUNNISON COUNTY VISION STATEMENT The Gunnison County Board of Commissioners had developed a Strategic Plan for the County based on the following vision statement. Gunnison County cherishes its sense of community and place.
