Spring is in the air. Despite the coronavirus and its attendant upheaval, you can feel spring in the heat of the sun and watch it in the snow that is receding quickly from the roadsides. While Crested Butte Nordic had to drastically change our operations in the last few weeks, we have found creative ways to stay “open” and continue to serve our community. It has been a crazy time, but we have made it to what was our originally planned last week of the season, so we’re getting ready to shift gears yet again. Given the spring conditions out there, this will be our last week of grooming, with Sunday, April 12 being “closing day.” Most of you have probably kept up with the changes at Crested Butte Nordic. As the county issued new public health orders, we adapted our operations and cancelled our events and programs. We are grateful that we have been able to continue to groom trails and hand out nearly all of our rental equipment so that you can continue to get outside, ski, breathe fresh air and maybe even feel a little bit more normal. While it’s been amazing to be able to keep going these last few weeks, we are preparing to stop grooming this Sunday, April 12. Given the high temperatures, we are seeing rapidly deteriorating conditions on the trails. Additionally, many of our trails are linked together via bridges over waterways and through delicate wetlands. As the temperatures rise, so do the waters, and we need to pull everything out while it is still safe to do so. One note on spring “off trail” skiing: Just because the trails are closed, that doesn’t mean you can go wherever you want. Please, if you want to have groomed trails in the future, please respect private land. The large majority of our trails are on private land, which means you cannot just ski there on your own. There is old mining AS YOUR LOCAL INTERNET PROVIDER, infrastructure, delicate ecosystems and nesting birds to respect, not to mention you’re likely skiing through someone’s backyard! If WE ARE HERE you’re still skiing, please head to BLM or national forest lands, like out Washington Gulch or Slate River.

We have been so impressed with how Gunni- son County has rallied during this crisis to take care of each other, whether that’s delivering food or raising money or ordering take-out or everything in between.
