Cross country skiers in the Gunnison Valley enjoy what may be the best nordic skiing that Colorado has to offer. With miles of groomed trails starting right from town, nordic skiers can enjoy both classic and skate skiing right off the bus route. In addition to the daily activities at the Nordic Center, there is also the famous Alley Loop race right in town, plus special events such as dinners at the Magic Meadows Yurt. Residents of both the Skyland and Riverbend neighborhoods can even use their nordic gear for their commute to town. On top of the trail network in Crested Butte, additional trails can be found in Mount Crested Butte, Crested Butte South, and even Gunnison. For more information, please go to the Crested Butte Nordic Center website.
