The Annual Report

And some summer happenings…

For Crested Butte Nordic, the official end of the year is June 30. Starting July 1, we’re officially headed into winter, regardless of what the smoke says. So pull those boots out of storage, click into your rock skis, and get training for winter.

Just kidding. You have a few months, but you can view some of that inspiration here if you want some light-hearted summer ski content.

Each July, we publish an Annual Report that takes stock of the full fiscal year. It’s one way for us to review things for ourselves, but also a way to speak to the many facets of CB Nordic.

If you’re only here for the trails, this is a good way to learn about how the Comp Team did. If you’re the parent of one of our Junior Program kids, you may not have a full sense of what our new Legacy Fund Endowment is or how it’s intended to work. And if you never knew Murray Banks, we hope we can do his memory and legacy some amount of justice in the space we have to work with.

We do have a few other pieces of information to keep you all in the loop about, so please keep scrolling. If you need to return to the Annual Report after, we understand.

Passes On Sale September 1

Yurt Dinners Too!

It’s almost that time of year again. Mark your calendars for Season Pass sales and Yurt Dinner reservations to open September 1. We’ve all heard the rumors of Super El Nino, but even if that doesn’t pan out, you know you want that pass. And that New Year’s Eve Yurt reservation. 😉

Summer GT Volunteers

Over Labor Day weekend, nearly 500 mountain bikers and runners will traverse the mountains between Crested Butte and Aspen. Some of them will go both ways. If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity for a good cause in a beautiful place, we could use your help. Sign up to volunteer below!

If you made it this far without checking out the Annual Report, thank you for reading. Here’s a way to do that without scrolling all the way back up:
