September, 2009

This week in Crested Butte has brought an unexpected chill in the air.  On the official last day of summer we had our first significant snow fall.  That meant on the first day of fall we woke up to a beautiful snowy landscape, with over an inch of snow on the ground throughout the Crested Butte Valley. 

There are still many activities to partake in around the area.  The Crested Butte Mountain Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, starring some of Crested Butte’s most talented artists.  The show opened up last night and will run through October 3rd.

Local film maker MSP Films premiers their newest release In Deep: the skiing experience today with show at 5, 7, and 9 at the Center of the Arts.

We are supposed to have a wonderful weekend with the temperatures starting to rise.  Now is the time to get out and hike or bike, before the snow returns.  Have a great weekend.

The Crested Butte Mountain Resort provides us with a great photo from an early Wednesday morning. Check out the CBMR website for some of their early season specials, and get a jump on this years ski trip.

Every morning there seems to be new colors on the mountainsides.  If you are planning on seeing the fall colors this year, the next two weeks are definitely the time to visit.

This week we also saw our first glimpses of snow on the upper peaks.  Another reminder that winter is just around the corner.

 This weekend there is the Gunnison Ranchland Conservation Legacy - Cow Pasture Golf Tournament and the Autumn Celebration of Vinotok in downtown Crested Butte.   Don’t miss out on all of the fun that is still happening in the area.  Hope to see you out there.

Good morning on this beautiful day here in Crested Butte.  The leaves are beginning to fall the air is getting cooler.  This is a great time of year to be in Crested Butte.
