anniversary celebration

Early days Skiing has always been a part of Crested Butte. In the early mining days, the 1880’s, everyone had to ski. It was a mode of transportation. According to local historian Duane Vandenbusche in his book The Gunnison Country, during the winter of 1880-81, skiing for sport became popular in the mining camps. “Several of the camps hosted races on weekends, attended by hundreds of spectators. The courses were usually a third to a half-mile straight down a mountainside. In those early days, the miners knew nothing of jumping or cross-country contests,� writes Vandenbusche. By 1886, the area was famous across the state and the country for its skiing. And by all accounts it was extreme.

Kids Run: Topsy Be sure to check out Topsy off the Painter Boy lift where the new kids terrain park featuring hippo humps and a few new kids trails will be located this winter. It will be entertaining for the entire family!

Beginner Run: Gunsight Pass to Twin Bridges This is a great run that is located on the back side of the mountain. 0DQ\ VNLHUV KDYH D WHQGHQF\ WR RYHUORRN WKLV run, which means there’s great corduroy or fresh powder on top of nice groomers. To access this run head up to the Painter Boy FKDLU DQG ÀQG WKH WUDLO *XQVLJKW 3DVV %H VXUH QRW to miss the turn off on the left for Twin Bridges.

Intermediate Run: Columbine Hill, East River Express Lift This is a new run that will be groomed this year that provides some of the best views of the ski mountain and the CB valley.

The Nordic Center maintains approximately 50 kilometers of groomed trails via four trailheads, around the scenic outskirts of Crested Butte.

Legend and logic behind Crested Butte Mountain’s trail names By Mike Horn

F

loresta. Twister. Paradise Bowl. How did Crested Butte 0RXQWDLQ FRPH XS ZLWK DOO WKH official (and unofficial) trail names that guide skiers and riders from line to line? )URP WKH VRXQGV RI LW PDQ\ of the early trails on the mountain were born from cocktail-party conversations, plucked from the area’s mining history, and used as a means of honoring mountain employees. Ski patrollers predominantly named the extreme limits runs, as do locals who to this day create various names for this tree shot and that pillow line. Roark Kiklevich, Crested %XWWH 0RXQWDLQ 5HVRUW¡V 0RXQWDLQ Planner, came to Crested Butte in 1971 and started ski patrolling in 1973/74. He said many of the trail names were influenced by the area’s mining culture and history. A slew of trail names, including %XFNOH\ &U\VWDO )ORUHVWD -RNHUYLOOH .H\VWRQH )RUHVW 4XHHQ DQG Ruby Chief carried over from local PLQHV /LNHZLVH WKH 6LOYHU 4XHHQ *ROG /LQN DQG 3DLQWHU %R\ OLIWV reflect mining’s influence.

And sometimes, a name is just a name. “It got to where we had 100-plus trails, and we had to name them something other than Trails 1, 2, and 3,â€? Kiklevich said, laughing. But there are some compelling stories behind many other slopes. When it comes down to it, sometimes the names have creative, interesting stories behind them—and sometimes they don’t. )RU WKH PRVW SDUW WKHVH VWRULHV aren’t written down anywhere, but get passed on by word of mouth. New local skiers and riders catch on quick, listening to the names getting thrown around on the chair and at the bar. Plus, when someone says “Let’s hit the powGHU ILHOGV RII RI *XV¡V :D\ Âľ WKHQ you better know where you’re goLQJ RU ULVN JHWWLQJ GLWFKHG 0RUH often than not though, people GRQ¡W NQRZ ZKR *XV ZDV DQG ZK\ there is a trail named after him. $V IRU *XV¡V :D\ RII WKH Teocalli Lift, the trail is named IRU ORQJWLPH 0RXQWDLQ 0DQDJHU *XV /DUNLQ .LNOHYLFK VDLG /DUNLQ showed up from Kansas with the original owners. One especially

dry winter year in the mid-1970s, Kiklevich said he had a memorable conversation with Larkin, where he suggested snowmaking would help improve the mountain conditions. ´0U /DUNLQ ,¡P IURP WKH East,â€? Kiklevich said. “We need some snowmaking here.â€? Larkin replied: “Roark, you’re LQ WKH 5RFN\ 0RXQWDLQV QRZÂł you’ll never see this again.â€? “We averaged around 400 inches each of the next few years,â€? Kiklevich said. “He [Larkin] had an unbelievable impact on how the ski area progressed.â€? 8SSHU DQG /RZHU *DOORZLFK ZHUH QDPHG IRU -RKQ *DOORZLFK a local miner who worked at the ski area and helped run the lifts, Kiklevich said. “It was like the ski area was a retirement job for him [after working the mine]. He was a wonderful man, a bull, and very, very fit even as he got older. He was a very special fella,â€? recalled Kiklevich. International was named for the Alpine International Event that was held in Crested Butte. Dick Eflin was one of the ski area

founders, and his son Andy still lives in Crested Butte and manages Peak Sports at the base area. They said the Alpine International event included a 90-meter ski jump, downhill event and a Nordic event, and attracted skiers from as far away as Europe and Japan. 0RQXPHQW ZDV QDPHG IRU massive “monumentsâ€? of concrete WKDW WKH )RUHVW 6HUYLFH UHTXLUHG WR keep the old lift towers from being knocked down by avalanches, the Eflins recalled. “Paradise Bowl was named after Paradise Basin out in Schofield Park where my dad and mom went out fourwheeling and exploring,â€? Andy said. “That used to be the ‘easy’ way down, and ‘Paradise’ represented the beginner ’s way out. 6DPH ZLWK <HOORZ %ULFN 5RDG which was taken from The Wizard of Oz.â€? <RX¡G WKLQN 7ZLVWHU ZDV named for the trail’s bumps, twists and turns, but it’s actually named after the “Twist,â€? the popular rock ‘n roll-inspired dance in the 1960s.

People were telling us that we couldn’t GR LW DQG VD\LQJ Âś<RX JX\V couldn’t open that kind of terrain.’ We were setting the bar for terrain management in those days. Other ski areas were coming to us. We were the cutting edge in snow safety, along with Squaw, Alta, and Jackson Hole.â€? Ewert recalled what it was like to have the opportunity to name large swaths of the

mountain. “We were given the opportunity as we were developing the terrain—it was a blank slate. So we got to name them because we were the ones managing it.â€? 0DQDJHPHQW SOD\HG D large role in applying names to certain areas. Ewert said the patrol created names “in order to manage it, because pretty much everything over there has some kind of avy hazard. To inventory it we said, ‘We’ll give everything its own name.’ Just for quick reference. Like ‘We’re in High Life’ or ‘Out on the Edge.’â€? Assistant Ski Patrol Director Bill Dowell related some stories from the name game. Disgusting Trees out Spellbound/Phoenix: “Because we hated to go in there, there’s no real clean way of skiing it, but we had to do work in there.â€? 5RFN ÂśQ 5ROO *ODGHVÂŤ ´%Hcause there’s rocks, and there’s rolls,â€? Dowell said. Duey’s, on the upper skier’s right side of Teocalli Bowl: “Duey’s is named for Robert

Ewert said the upper

entrance to Third Bowl was named Parachute “because you practically needed a parachute to get in there.â€? Other names are humorous jabs at people who may have been at the wrong place— or said the wrong thing—at the wrong time. Dead Bob’s is named for %RE *LOOHQ ZKR ZRUNHG LQ &%05 SXEOLF UHODWLRQV ´+LV quote to a magazine said something like, ‘If you fall back there in this terrain, patrol will pick you up at the bottom in a body bag,’â€? Dowell said. “The name Dead Bob’s came out one day when we were shooting the avalauncher.â€? Rambo, called the steepest trail in the country by many, was actually cut to create a

lift line. Ewert said there was once a plan in place to run a lift from the bottom of the East River lift to the top of Paradise. Alas, that lift was never installed, and instead skiers and riders are left with an impossibly steep run to test their skills. The names don’t stop there and we could go on for pages. Several other patrollers and mountain employees not listed here contributed to the names that keep us on track.

Willie Porter– February 18

üÌ¼Ì üâä üåÌ åâ à à ̼Ìâ üà åüÌåü åüâ

“Willy Porter is perhaps best known as a down tuned six stringed wonder, but as a singer and a writer, and as a showman, he merits equal regard.� How to Rob a Bank, the latest release from esteemed guitarist/singer-songwriter Willy Porter, showcases his continued growth as a songwriter and recording artist. Porter offers a rich blend of salt and sugar with tracks that move easily from rough-hewn electric edges into soulful irony with equal aplomb. Having toured with artists as diverse as Jeff Beck Willy Porter and Tori Amos, Porter capitalizes on his experiences as a seasoned live performer and each song is a fresh cross-pollination of styles, genres and musical forms.
