A LETTER FROM THE BROKERS

s we approach the winter season, I can’t help but be astonished at how fast 2021 has gone. The seasons, each unique in their own ways, almost blend together as I reminisce of this years’ achievements, and I find myself repeatedly asking “what month is it?!”. 2021 has been fast and furious, but filled with so much to be thankful for. After a 15-year career in real estate sales, 13 of which have been spent with Sotheby’s International Realty, I was honored to be given the opportunity to expand upon my business and become the Managing Broker for the LIV Sotheby’s Crested Butte office. Consistently ranked as the #1 brokerage in Gunnison County, and surrounded by the top professionals in my industry, this opportunity was both exciting and daunting. But I took a deep breath, dove right in, and didn’t look back. With over 45 years of combined experience, the Realtors in the Crested Butte office exemplify professionalism. The level of honesty, integrity, grit, and support that exists in this office and within the Sotheby’s International Realty brand is inspiring, and the results speak for themselves. Every salebig or small- is handled with care from start to finish, and each transaction results in relationships with our clients that last a lifetime. I’m privileged to be able to “pay forward” the support that I’ve been given throughout the years, and to lead such a fine group of individuals to the next level. As you read through the pages of this magazine, it’s clear that the LIV Sotheby’s Crested Butte office is a local community of Realtors with global reach. We love our community, we love our clients, and we love what we do…at the highest level. Enjoy the winter season, and we look forward to seeing you on the slopes this winter!

Sincerely,

Jaima Giles-Alsum Managing Broker crestedbuttesothebysrealty.com | 970.349.6653 3

Featured Local Shops Misty Mountain Floral Scout Walton recommends Misty Mountain Floral, a florist and flower boutique for everyday occasions and special events. Owner Keli Massey draws inspiration from the Valley’s mountain landscape and utilizes native wildflowers in her rustic arrangements. “Keli Massey is a real florist pro,” says Scout. “She always has a great selection of arrangements large or small for every occasion and some hilarious greeting cards.” https://www.crestedbutteflorist.com Photo courtesy of Misty Mountain Floral

Little Sparrow Little Sparrow is Tara Spencer’s go-to. “You would never guess when you walk in that it is a consignment store,” she says. Family owned and operated, Little Sparrow includes a hand-picked inventory of women’s and children’s clothing, toys, room decor, and unique gifts. “Erica Woodward has beautifully unveiled her creative energy into making her shop an enchanting shopping experience,” says Tara. “Little Sparrow accepts only the highest quality clothing, gear, and home decor pieces. Little Sparrow carries men, women and children’s sizes, so there is always a treasure to find for everyone in your family. I always recommend this store as a first stop shop if you are visiting and realize your kid outgrew his ski pants, or you left a glove on the bus, or you didn’t realize you needed a fleece after dinner in the summer!” facebook.com/littlesparrowandthenest/ Photo courtesy of Eric Phillips

Featured Non-Profits // Adaptive Sports Center & Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation Among the many cherished nonprofits in the Gunnison Valley is the Adaptive Sports Center, a therapeutic recreation program that operates year-round to provide adaptive activities for groups and individuals. “I love Adaptive Sports,” says Tucker Brown. “They do a lot of good, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.” The Adaptive Sports Center works with anyone with any type of disability, and each year nearly 800 individuals from all over the U.S. and overseas come to Crested Butte to participate in Adaptive’s programs and activities. Adaptive’s new Kelsey Wright building is located at the base area right off the ski slopes, and hosts groups onsite complete with lodging. Activities range from skiing and ice climbing to mountain biking and kayaking, and many Crested Butte locals love volunteering their time to assist with the outdoor activities. “I love seeing the volunteers and participants out skiing and mountain biking!” says Tara Spencer. “I also believe that their organization is well-run financially seeing as their latest building renovation was on time and under budget.” This winter on the mountain, look for Adpative’s instructors and volunteers in green jackets and give them a friendly wave, and consider donating to help support the organization’s lifechanging mission. adaptivesports.org Photo courtesy of Adaptive Snow Sports Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation (CBSF) provides financial support for the youth in the Gunnison Valley in their pursuit of recreational opportunities and experiences. Through scholarships, grants, and support of partner programs, CBSF aims to make snowsports accessible and inclusive for all youth in the Gunnison Valley. In addition to real estate, Jill Matlock serves on the CBSF board. “Because I am passionate about skiing and what it has done for me, and because Crested Butte is a ‘ski town,’ I believe all the youth of this valley should have the opportunity to get out in the snow and SKI!” she says. “Whether it’s alpine skiing on the mountain, Nordic skiing on the trails, skinning up the resort, or heading out into the backcountry, the CBSF is here to provide financial support for the youth of this valley, from Gunnison to Gothic, in their pursuit of sportsmanship, passion, excellence, and discipline through snowsports experiences.” Help support the student athletes in the community, and consider becoming a member to support CBSF’s mission. cbsnowsports.org Photo courtesy of Jill Sickels Matlock 10

trends for the home this winter

hether you’re settling into a new place, revamping your current space, or somewhere inbetween, there’s nothing better than making your house uniquely your home. The LIV Sotheby’s I n t e r n a t i o n a l Re a l t y team in Crested Butte loves collaborating with designers in the G u n n i s o n Va l l e y t o share ideas on what current and prospective

homeowners are looking for in their overall winter home style and aesthetic. Heidi Sherrat Bogart, owner, and Kelly Gallen, full-time designer of Crested Butte’s Interior Visions share some of the latest interior design trends in home builds and remodels the team has been working on in the Valley and what we can expect to see in the cozy homes of Crested Butte this winter.

Things are warming up, and in general everything has a warmer, earthier feel.

Heidi Sherrat // Owner and Designer at Interior Visions 13

Textured walls & Warm Whites “We’re seeing more wallpaper like we’ve never seen it before,” says Heidi, noting the rise in popularity of wallpapers with textures. “People are gravitating toward really fun textures, using the wallpaper for an accent wall and playing into that modern, natural feel.” Heidi has noticed a lot of textures with tiling as well. Monochromatic tile, consisting of one color or hue, in bathrooms has been a favorite. “Monochromatic tiles have a lot of texture to them, they’re the same color but it’s the texture that makes it interesting,” she says. “People are mixing up diﬀerent sizes, or maybe one wall is decorative tile and everything else is monochromatic.” For painting, Heidi notes that she’s seeing more and more muted, watered-down colors. Another common move is to paint walls with warm whites or oﬀ-whites, as well as for the door and window trims. “That’s been fairly popular and continues to be,” says Heidi.

Colorful Cabinets & Quartize Countertops Quartzite continues to be popular for countertops, says Heidi. “It’s a natural stone that is really strong, and it has that marble feel to it. But it’s better to use it for countertops because it’s a lot stronger.” Heidi has also noticed fewer gray countertops. “Which can have a utilitarian, cold feel to them. We’re now seeing warmer browns and creams being mixed in more,” she says. One trend that has emerged is cabinets in mixed colors. “We’re seeing a lot of unique mixes of colors in the kitchen with stained and painted cabinets, where some cabinets are painted and some are not,” says Heidi.

Organic & Natural Elements

Interior design is taking inspiration from Mother Nature right now and pulling from many of the natural aspects that have drawn so many of us to the Gunnison Valley in the first place. “We’re definitely seeing a lot of organic, natural elements,” says Heidi. “Things are warming up, and in general everything has a warmer, earthier feel. The raw wood look has been very popular recently, and we’re using a lot of natural stained woods and white oak floors that aren’t stained dark,” she says. Overall, “It’s a very clean, simple, natural, and slightly farmhouse-y feel with a more modern edge to it,” she says. “We’re seeing clean lines and finishes that are not over the top. It’s really setting the kind of vibe that you’re outside in your garden, you’re picking your lettuce, and then you go and make your big salad.” Additionally, Heidi notes that homeowners are paying more attention to environmentally friendly items and design elements that are made in the United States.

crestedbuttesothebysrealty.com | 970.349.6653 15

Softer Light Fixtures & Cozy Decor To go along with the warm, organic feeling, folks are veering away from metal light fixtures and replacing them with woven, wicker, and fabric fixtures. “We’re seeing fixtures that look like woven baskets,” says Heidi. “It’s almost a little bit of that beachy vibe.” As for textiles and furniture, Heidi says her team is also doing a lot of custom furniture that mixes in soft textiles and wool fabric. “Bedding is trending toward washed linen, wools, and beautiful textiles that feel really natural and organic. Things that are warm and cozy and natural-feeling,” she says. “Especially in the winter months, people are using a lot of really pretty fabrics, pillows, and throws that are cozy and inviting.”

Creative Outdoor Spaces & home offices With a stunning backyard like the Gunnison Valley, it’s no surprise that people are putting some thought and time into their outdoor spaces as well. From outdoor seating areas to built-in fire pits, to outdoor bocce ball courts, Heidi says homeowners are getting creative and are really trying to use their outdoor spaces more to their fullest. When it comes to new homes, Heidi notes that home office spaces are mostly always part of the design. “New homes are definitely incorporating a designated office space,” says Heidi. “That’s been something we’ve done for a while, especially since COVID, that people are pretty adamant about having. So many of our part-time homeowners are now becoming full-time homeowners. They want to be in Crested Butte full-time where they can work from here, put their kids in school here, and can go outside.” But it’s not just designated office rooms, folks are also mixing in small workspaces in multiple places within the house. “Maybe they’re adding a little desk area in a master bedroom or in the kitchen,” says Heidi. She notes that a lot of homeowners are considering the needs of their visitors and incorporating desks into guest rooms. “We haven’t really done that before, but these smaller workspaces are very thought-out.”

Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport Renovation Improves Passenger Experience Story by KENDRA WALKER

Jon Cattles // Gunnison County Sustainable Operations Director

appening this winter, the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) will transform into a reimagined space ready to welcome a new wave of visitors and residents to the Gunnison Valley. Crews are hard at work to bring the $24 million airport renovation to the finish line and once complete, passengers can expect a modernized terminal and overall improved experience from arrival to departure. The 40-year-old facility is getting a much-needed makeover - from an updated exterior, more efficient arrival process, a remodeled interior, and a more energy efficient building. The goal of the project remains steadfast in improving passenger flow and passenger experience. “Our North Star is the passenger experience,” says John Cattles, Gunnison County Sustainable Operations Director.

Over the last 10 years, the airport has experienced steady traffic and is considered one of the nation's 400 primary commercial airports, with 30,000-50,000 passenger traffic enplanements each year. According to a recent study by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), GUC’s economic impacts to the region are signiﬁcant, contributing 1,000 jobs, $44 million in payroll, $71 million in value added re-spending and $121 million in related business revenues to the surrounding community. The $24 million airport project will be debt free, made possible by a surprise $18 million grant from the federal CARES Act stimulus bill, and additional funds from the federal Airport Improvement Program. Thanks to these funds, the full scale of much-needed renovations and improvements are now possible, helping the airport reach its full potential for locals and visitors alike.

Interior Improvements While the building envelope will stay fairly similar to the existing 34,800-square-foot building, the additional usable floor space will increase significantly, says Cattles. The improvements will add 5,000 square feet of space and expand the usable floor space on the upper level. “For the customer experience, the building is going to be 50 percent larger,” says Cattles. And while many of the improvements will be visually obvious to guests, Cattles notes that people might not necessarily notice many of the details designed to make the airport more reliable and efficient. This includes the replacement of the baggage handling systems and jet bridges, which were used equipment from the Stapleton Airport. “We’re catching up with the world right now,” says Cattles. “A lot of these things people take for granted, like jet bridges and loading belts, things you don’t notice unless they’re broken.” For arriving passengers, the ticket hall will be reworked for functional and efficient passenger flow. This includes the addition of a baggage belt for customers to leave their bag with the ticketing agent. “It’s eliminating all the cross traffic we have now,” says Cattles. “It’s a better process for the customer.” Other additions include new carpeting over the existing concrete floor, sound mitigation panels in the ticketing area, and more circulation space added to the baggage claim area. Cattles notes that the baggage claim area will now have room for a food truck for coffee and snacks. “We’re not sure there’s a demand for that yet, but we will try to develop that to serve the need in the future as well.” The security area, which was originally added after 9/11, will expand significantly with screening almost twice as large as the current space. The queuing line will be more efficient and include a TSA pre-check line. “It will be more comfortable for passengers as they prepare for boarding. The whole thing will move faster through security because there’s more room for everyone, including TSA, to operate,” says Cattles. 20

Post security, Cattles says travelers can look forward to many more amenities that weren’t available in the old terminal. Passengers will be able to take advantage of the expanded floor plate with a restaurant and bar, comfortable “living room” seating area, interactive kids’ play garden, escalators to the upper level, and full restroom suites. “We will have a family restroom and a room for nursing mothers as well,” says Cattles. The restaurant and bar will have quick service food and a grab-and-go section, with the ability to expand in the future if needed. Cattles says the goal is to try to solicit local restaurants to operate in the space during peak flight windows. Exterior Improvements “Architecturally, the building is not changing much,” says Cattles. “We wanted to stick with the simple building design, but it will look a lot cleaner and include more durable materials. It will have an updated look, with a new roof and siding as well.” Both the curbside drop-off and parking will be covered, and the parking has been moved closer to the terminal. “If you’ve ever arrived in Gunnison and had to shovel snow off your car, the covered parking will be a huge upgrade,” says Cattles. Additional landscaping and small shady areas with benches are also included in the design. “Whether you’re arriving or departing, we don’t want it to look like a big sea of asphalt, so we’re going to soften that approach to the building and make it more welcoming,” says Cattles. “We want it to be an inviting outside place for people to wait for their ride or before going inside to catch their flight.” Cattles notes that a bus stop area will also be included to accommodate future public transit, should the Rural Transportation Authority (RTA) choose to include a stop at the airport at some point in time. An additional building has been built to store all the ground service equipment, such as baggage carts, and is prepared for the eventuality that the equipment becomes electric, says Cattles. crestedbuttesothebysrealty.com | 970.349.6653 21

Energy Efficient A renovation wouldn’t be complete without the addition of environmentally friendly features, which will significantly improve the airport's energy efficiency. Added insulation, geothermal heat pumps, and a solar array on the covered parking will contribute to a net-zero energy use goal. Electrical and mechanical systems, which have reached the end of their useful life, will be upgraded. Cattles forecasts the gross energy use to be less than half of the current building. “We expect to drop our energy use significantly. It made sense to improve the envelope while we have the building under construction and bring it up to meet or exceed the current energy codes.” Electric vehicle charging stations will also be stationed in the parking lot, and Cattles says that a LEED designation will be pursued after the building’s completion. Finishing Touches The airport’s theme will focus on trails, outdoors, and authenticity. “We really tried to make that our design cue,” says Cattles. “The Gunnison Valley is real and authentic, so the airport has got to be real and authentic.” Materials for the design are inspired by the natural surroundings and the local character of the Gunnison Valley which includes stone, oak, log, leather, earth tone colors, metals, and glass. Reclaimed steel and timber materials will be used as focal points around the entrance to the terminal, as a nod to the area’s ranching heritage. Brightly colored panels on the ceiling will match the quirky homes and shops found along Elk Avenue. Art installations throughout the building will reflect the community’s love for the trails and outdoors, with airport signage modeled after the U.S. Forest Service signs found throughout the Valley. A large feature wall will display a wooden 3D topography map of Gunnison County. “It’s a really beautiful art piece as well as a map,” Cattles says of the topography feature. “It came out of this idea that our place is really what’s important around here, it shows the 22

vastness of the county. We want visitors to realize everything they may have missed so they come back.” Cattles notes that the airport hopes to collaborate with local and regional artists for the art installations. “We’re seeking art that represents that authentic feeling and captures those outdoor connections.” Timeline Construction is still in full swing, and like many building projects both in the Gunnison Valley and nationally, the airport has experienced some delays. Interior improvements are slated for completion by February or March. “By then we should have the interior of the building operating for the passenger experience at full capacity and working the way we want it,” says Cattles. Until then, flight service will continue as normal, and passengers can expect temporary changes to the arrival and departure flow during construction. “We ask that folks be patient as we’re working to get this to a higher comfort level in the interim,” says Cattles. “We’re doing our best to make that in-between experience a little better and ultimately shorten any inconveniences as much as possible.” Despite all the challenges in the schedule, “The budget looks good, and we’ve been able to avoid a lot of cost impacts,” says Cattles. “We’re going to be able to finish the building the way we want to and maintain the integrity of our vision. We’ll be able to ensure this facility is finished to the state we think this community is worthy of.” The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport upgrades are anticipated for final completion in July, just in time to greet the full swing of summer in the Gunnison Valley.

t took a global pandemic for Austin Pedersen to realize his love for photography. “I really had nothing but time,” he says, on being gifted a camera in February 2020, right before the Coronavirus hit Gunnison County. “I already loved hiking all the time, and photography just added a new element and challenge to it. Photography quickly became the only reason I would go on a hike. Now I can’t imagine spending my time doing anything else.” Born and raised in Kansas, the now adventure and landscape photographer felt the pull of the mountains and moved to Gunnison in January 2019. “At that point I hadn’t started any

photography yet, I just knew I wanted to be in Colorado and the mountains,” he says. Still exploring his calling, Austin then attended barber school in Colorado Springs and bounced around other Colorado mountain towns working various odd jobs. Soon after he was gifted his camera, the pandemic shutdown was in full force so he began to teach himself the art of photography. With a little help from some of his buddies, also photographers, Austin developed his skills and a love for taking photos quickly ensued. “With that my whole life and trajectory changed. I lived out of my Jeep for three months that year just taking photos,” he recalls. After experiencing other mountain towns, Austin knew the Gunnison Valley was his favorite

and he eventually found his way back here. “I can’t think of anywhere better to live. The Valley, in my opinion, is the best place to be in Colorado,” he says. “And the beauty of this valley is hard to beat - the summer is very unique with all the wildflowers and how colorful it is, and the fall colors are insane. There are a lot of different opportunities in the backcountry and Crested Butte Mountain Resort has some of the most extreme ski terrain in the state. Winter is a different monster for me because I haven’t spent much time in places that get so much snow. The amount of snow we get here to me is mind blowing. It’s just like living inside of a snow globe.” Austin’s love for the area shines through in his photographs, as they capture the spectacular landscapes of the Gunnison Valley and beyond. He playfully calls himself a certified light chaser, and his photos validate his knack for catching those “right time, right places.” He says Mother Nature’s canvas is the inspiration for his style. “I try to capture scenes that look like paintings, I’m inspired by big landscape paintings, like Bob Ross paintings,” he says. “I want my photos to mirror that feel and look.” Austin is also inspired to tell a story through each of his photos, and looks up to other landscape photographers with storytelling styles, like Chris Burkard. “He is one of my inspirations because of his storytelling and the adventures he goes on. I would love to be known for that, not just for the beautiful photos but for the stories that go with them.” Despite the fact that he’s only owned a camera for a year and a half, Austin has dedicated all of his energy into fulltime photography and is grateful for the opportunities it has allowed him to experience. Landscape photography is his first love, but he also looks forward to partnerships and projects in the future that will allow him to travel and document unique events.

Photography has also helped him get to know the area’s hidden gems very well. “Photography has really connected me to this Valley and I’ve learned more about it and explored a lot of places I normally wouldn’t have gone without a camera,” he says. “It’s given me a new outlook on the Valley in general, as I seek different things to photograph. It’s such a versatile place to be with a camera, which has really helped me grow my craft. I don’t think I would have had the same drive or ambition to put so much time and effort into photography otherwise. Just being here in the Valley with where it’s situated and its ease of access is inspiring in itself.” Austin recalls one of the most memorable photos he’s taken here. “I got to take a flight over the Valley, we circled around the Maroon Bells and back. We were somewhere over Gothic and I got this shot looking back at Mt. Crested Butte. It was right at sunrise, and the valley was completely covered in snow, it was just beautiful,” he says. “Everything had to be perfect with

that one shot - the plane’s position, the angle, the lighting, my camera settings - it was just three seconds, I snapped and then we kept moving. In the moment you don’t know if you’re going to get it right. It’s the shot that I wanted more than anything else that day, and I got it. It’s one of my favorite photos.” Austin is happy this is now home for him. “I love the people here and there’s a lot of like-minded people that just want to be outside, have fun in the mountains, and do what you have to do to make that happen,” he says. “This valley has deﬁnitely changed my life in a pretty dramatic way. It gave me a whole new outlook on life. I’m spending my time doing what I want to do, being in the mountains, hiking, biking, photography, not chasing money or in the grind of it all. I think I’ve found my home for a long time.”

I think I've found my home for a long time.

Property Showcase

ocated at the foot of the Elk Mountains and incorporated in 1880, the Town of Crested Butte is a National Historic District that rests at an elevation of 8,885 feet . Explorer Ferdinand Hayden referred to the dominant peak guarding the residents as a “crested butte,” and the namesake was born. In the late 1800’s Crested Butte thrived as a coal-producing supply town to the many mining camps nearby, which attracted a mix of immigrant workers from Europe, especially the Slavic countries. Colorado Fuel & Iron was the dominant employer at the time operating mines whose names are familiar to skiers; Jokerville, Keystone, Twister, and Peanut. By the late 1950’s, the mines closed and the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad were pulled up making way for a new era built on another plentiful resource; snow. The Crested Butte ski area opened in 1961 and serves as one of the primary economic drivers of the Valley. With skiing came a new breed of local leaders who diversified the town’s identity to include cultural heritage. The town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has received state and national accolades for historic preservation. In addition, demand for the “off season” grew such that the Town’s summer sales tax revenues have outpaced the winter. A diverse collection of restaurants, bars and shops animate Elk Avenue, which are complimented by an amazing line-up of special events, long-running festivals—Wildflower, Arts, Music, Film— athletic competitions—Grand Traverse, Alley Loop, Chainless Race— and regular programming offered by a host of local nonprofits—Center for the Arts, Mountain Theatre, Land Trust, Mountain Bike Association, Nordic Center, KBUT Radio. Other drivers of the Crested Butte socio-economic scene include the acclaimed Crested Butte Community School, Western Colorado University, Gunnison Valley Hospital, the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport and now mountain biking and hiking trails. •

ising above Crested Butte by 500 vertical feet, the Town of Mt. Crested Butte (Mt. CB) lies across the Upper East River Valley from the protected West Elk Wilderness Area, where 6 of Colorado’s 54 fourteeners are located — Castle, Maroon, Capitol, Snowmass, Pyramid and North Maroon. These together with Gothic, Teocalli and the Town’s namesake peak wrap Mt. CB with dramatic panoramas. Approximately 800 people live in the Town, which was formed in 1974 to gain local governance at a time when development was taking off around the fledgling ski area. Skier visits peaked in the late 1990s with over 500,000 skier-days recorded thanks to the expansion of direct jet service into Gunnison, the local bed base and notoriety from Ski Free, ESPN X-Games, U.S. Extreme Skiing Championships and other events and promotions. Following family ownership during its first 57 years, Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) is now owned by the publicly traded industry leader, Vail Resorts. Today, CBMR operates 15 lifts and 121 trails on 1,500+ acres in the winter and has a robust summer business built around mountain biking, scenic lift rides, zip line tours and other adventure activities. In addition, restaurants, shops, condominiums, hotels, lodges, summer concerts and mountain bike race series energize the base area. The concrete recreation path and Mountain Express connect Mt. CB to its older sister, three miles down Gothic Road (CR317). It should be noted two longstanding beacons of the community have targeted Mt. CB for their headquarters. The Adaptive Sports Center, delivering exceptional year-round adventure activities to people with disabilities since 1987, opened their $14 million administrative and programming building in 2019. The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, active since 1928, is studying a new campus on the North Village parcel. •

Property Showcase

utside the limits of the towns of Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte lie several prominent Upper Valley neighborhoods and lower density 35-acre subdivisions, which profit from intoxicating views of the stunning peaks, lush drainages and alpenglow colors. Some even enjoy fishing access on the Slate and East Rivers. Many of these surrounding lands are held in conservation either by the Crested Butte Land Trust, the Town of Crested Butte or the Gunnison Ranchlands Conservation Legacy for open space protection, ranching preservation and winter and summer trail systems. Located in the corridor off the Gothic Road (CR 317), are higher end homes and homesites in Glacier Lily, Saddle Ridge, Three Valleys, Moon Ridge and Aperture. Tucked back off County Roads 811 and 734 following the Washington Gulch and Slate River drainages is local-friendly Meridian Lake and several more exclusive enclaves— Pristine Point, Smith Hill Ranches, Wildbird and Alpine Meadows. Perched above Crested Butte and the Coal Creek drainage are various filings of Trapper’s Crossing and the McCormick, Whetstone Mountain, and Hidden Mine Ranches on the Valley floor. Skyland, only two miles south of Crested Butte, boasts many luxury properties surrounding Lake Grant, the Robert Trent Jones Jr. championship golf course and other amenities of the Club at Crested Butte. Also served by Brush Creek Road (CR 738) are the newer communities of Buckhorn Ranch—home to the Crested Butte Airpark— Larkspur and Silver Sage. Riverbend and the Crested Butte South area are preferred by many locals, while Hidden River Ranch, East River Ranches and Red Mountain Ranch offer more exclusive larger tracts. All of these properties on the outskirts of Crested Butte cater to those prioritizing more privacy and commanding views of Whetstone, Axtell, Emmons and the Paradise Divide. •

Property Showcase

lmont is located halfway between Crested Butte and Gunnison, where the East and Taylor Rivers meet to form the Gunnison River. On the way along Highway 135 are three high-end ranch subdivisions south of Round Mountain—Reserve at East River, Danni Ranch and Roaring Judy Ranch. Almont is home to three long time dude ranches offering multiple options for cabin lodging, dining, drinking, fishing, rafting, horseback riding and other excursions. County Road 742 winding through the Taylor River Canyon leads to more real estate options at Wilder/Wapiti Canyon Ranch, Spring Creek and Crystal Creek subdivisions. The legendary trout fishing on the Taylor River is enhanced by the Taylor Park Reservoir, 20 miles upstream from Almont, which has a small marina. County Road 209 is a newly paved scenic wonder leading to Buena Vista over Cottonwood Pass (summer route only) topping out at a breathtaking 12,119 feet. The City of Gunnison sits at the intersection of Highways 135 and 50 and is named after an explorer charting routes for the transcontinental railroad in the mid-1850s. Like the Town of Crested Butte, Gunnison prospered from a mining boom and then later the cattle industry, which has been celebrated for 120 years by the Cattlemen’s Days Rodeo. Gunnison serves as the County seat and is home to many important community assets— Western Colorado University (founded in 1901), Gunnison Valley Health System (since 1938), Black Canyon of the Gunnison (awarded National Park status in 1999), Curecanti National Recreation Area, three State Wildlife Areas, Dos Rios Golf Course, Recreation/Aquatic Center and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (9,400’ runway). Real estate options include more affordable properties in and around the city limits and large tract options in the verdant Ohio Creek Valley of Eagle Ridge Ranch, Star Mountain Ranch and Wilderness Streams. •
