You’re probably here because you love nordic skiing, our unique events like the Alley Loop or Grand Traverse, or you enjoy spending time in the vast open spaces that surround Crested Butte.
At CB Nordic, outdoor winter recreation is the heart of our work. Nordic skiing and snowshoeing require wide open spaces and access to them to provide the trails you know and love.
Our operations are unique in that we groom on a combination of private and public land. We work with over forty generous land owners who grant us access, the Crested Butte Land Trust who protects the land surrounding our little town, the Town of Crested Butte
and the Town of Mt. Crested Butte who care deeply about the health and well-being of valley residents and visitors, and last but not least the federal government as we pass through public land administered by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land
Management (BLM).
While the majority of our trails pass through locally conserved land, approximately 10% of our trails traverse public land. Additionally, our unique and storied events, such as the Grand Traverse and Gothic Mountain Tour, use public land almost exclusively.
The bill before the U.S. Senate, the Big Beautiful Bill, has the potential to include the sale of public lands across the West. While the legislation is evolving daily, any sale of public lands could greatly impact CB Nordic and our operations as they currently
stand.
As a CB Nordic enthusiast, we encourage you to learn more about the bill and the proposed sale of public lands.
