Magic Meadows Yurt Dinners- March 15, 2014

Magic Meadows Yurt Dinners

When the full moon rises, the Magic Meadows turn into a luminescent wonderland, with our back-country yurt nestled right in the middle.  There, you can enjoy one of our gourmet yurt dinners; a five course meal (see menu below) in a spectacular setting.

Recently featured in Outside Magazine, “It’s like going back to a 19th century, horse-drawn carriage era when people arrived at gatherings on a sleigh or by ski. It pulls you back to the traditional Nordic culture.”

Arriving to the yurt is surprisingly easy; a mile of flat, rolling, tiki torch-lined track that takes about 30 minutes for the average person on cross country skis or snowshoes.  To reserve your yurt dinner, click the button below.

Cost :
Adults – $75
Children (under 12) - $35
Trail pass & ski/snowshoe rental are included, which can be picked up at the Nordic Center.

 The trail to the yurt is about a mile and is mostly level with a few rolling hills, taking about 30 minutes for most skiers. If you’re new to skiing, we suggest snowshoeing out there. If you’re unfamiliar with our trails, we can arrange for a guide to meet you at the trail-head at 5:30–just let us know if you’d like this service ahead of time. All the intersections on the trail to the yurt are lit with tiki torches so route finding is easier.  We do recommend all guests bring a headlamp or flashlight.  Feel free to stop by the Nordic Center ahead of time to pick up a map.

Elk Mountain Grand Traverse- March 29, 2013

Elk Mountain Grand Traverse by Outdoor Research and Dynafit

The 15th Annual GORE-TEX® Grand Traverse was a success! Thank you to the racers and volunteers that helped make this happen!
The 16th Annual GORE-TEX® Elk Mountains Grand Traverse will be held on Friday March 29, 2013. Mark your calendars!

The Grand Traverse is an extraordinary 40-mile backcountry ski race between the towns of Crested Butte and Aspen, CO. Depending on weather, the start is usually at midnight from Crested Butte, often in sub-zero temperatures; the racers traverse Colorado’s spectacular Elk Mountains. NOTE: for 2012 the start will be 11:00PM at Crested Butte Mountain Resort.
The course is based on the mail routes of the 1880's, connecting the two towns. In this extreme endurance event, racers will climb more than 7,800 vertical feet and navigate in a self-supported backcountry race that tests them physically and mentally. To maintain safety in the backcountry, racers compete in teams of two and are required to carry mandatory gear. Held annually since 1998, it’s earned a reputation as a true test of toughness for elite local, national and international athletes.

For more info, please visit Elk Mountain Traverse.

Come visit us at Great Crested Butte Lodging!

Gothic Mountain Tour (Formerly the Super Tour)- February 16, 2013

The Super Tour has been renamed to The Gothic Mountain Tour

Race will be held Saturday February 16, 2013
See the 2012 results here.
Sponsored by New Belgium Brewing, Clif Bar and Western Pilates

Here is information on the 2012 race…
The Super Tour, slated for March 17, 2012, is a race for those who like to go fast, or it can be skied as a loosely guided tour for those looking for a more relaxing pace. This 22.5k event starts at 8am at the Gothic Road trailhead in Mt. CB. The course winds out the East River to the town site of Gothic some 4.5 miles to the first checkpoint at the Maroon Hut.

From there the course heads up valley to trail 403 and then winds its way up and over to the “top of the world” above Elkton and the second checkpoint/aid station. From the “top of the world” it’s all downhill to Elkton, before cruising the last 5 miles to the finish and hot soup at the Washington Gulch trailhead.

This is a beautiful route that circumnavigates Gothic Mountain, but is a challenging ski with a steep 2000′ climb and a sometimes fast downhill. Grand Traverse racers, depending on conditions, would enjoy light gear, but most of those doing it as a tour would prefer a medium to wide touring/backcountry set-up.  Competative racers complete this course in as little as two hours; our most casual skiers ski it in about 6 hours.

• This is a backcountry course. Shovels, probes, beacons and full skins required.
• Water available at checkpoints.
• Bring your own food, water and appropriate clothing.
• COSAR cards required. Sold at CBNC.
• Mandatory turn around for those who miss Gothic checkpoint within 60 minutes.
• Event subject to cancellation due to high avalanche conditions. Fees refunded.

2012 SCHEDULE:

Registration: March 17 at the Crested Butte Nordic Center
Fee: $35
Race Day Registration, Bib pickup and Beacon check:
March  17, 7:30 – 8:30 a.m.
Shuttles to Start: 8:15 a.m.
Race Start: 9 a.m.
After Party: @ CBNC 5 – 7 p.m.
