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.

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.

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.
