Crested Butte Nordic

First time cross country skier. The staff at Crested Butte Nordic were friendly and helpful. I rented on line and when I stopped by in the morning the equipment was ready for me. Had never skied cross country and the staff quickly explained the boots and bindings and trail options for someone new to cross country skiing. There is a skiing option at the facility if you have experience. As a newcomer, I was directed to two wonderful trails in town-Peanut Lake which was a short drive and the Snodgrass Trail area up past the mountain. Both were fantastic. Absolutely beautiful as you can see in the photos. I skied three days from 8am to 11am. Each trail has options for distance and skill. It was really great. Peaceful, a workout and so beautiful. The Center itself is a warm, friendly shop. Get yourself a t shirt for home to remind you to stay in as good as shape as these folks. Thank you again to the staff. Fantastic experience.

Top tier Nordic trails, beautiful scenery, and very friendly people to help with rentals.

We went here over our Christmas trip as one of our checkmark activities. This place has everything! Our family hadn't ever been skiing before. The employees helped us get fitted and geared up. The track was fun and challenging for all of us being first timers, but it wasn't enough for us to not have a blast. There is an outside, covered, ice rink... A sledding hill and play area... And right across the street, you'll find a little place called Mike's Pizza... Go in there. Order food. It's incredible. You might come back just to eat there again. The whole set up for this center is really nice and well thought out.

The Crested Butte Nordic Center and trails system provides the most beautiful and scenic areas to enjoy all kinds of recreation in the winter. I love taking my dogs on skate skis out to Mike's Mile or around the Town Ranch loops. I also love adventuring as a photographer with Mountain Magic Media to capture the fun that visitors have when they come to vacation in Crested Butte! I always see smiling faces on the groomed tracks, and I absolutely love the Nordic Yurt as a place for fun events like KBUT Bingo or Yoga with Thrive. They have an amazing sledding hill for the kiddos too! The covered skating rink is fun too!

Huge shout out to Addie & Brie! They rented me gear in the evening so I could get out early the next morning... and they even held on to my snowboard & boots for me so I could quickly get to CBMR late morning for more time on the snow. And Addie recommended some amazing trails for a novice! 8 mile round trip from Three Ladies Park in town to Gunsight Bridge and back. Unbelievable views, silence and solitude, great workout. You will not be able to miss God's power and glory in His creation of these mountains! ‭Psalms‬ ‭95:3‭-‬7‬ ‭For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
