Founded in 1987, the Crested Butte Nordic Center in Aspen, CO is one of the foremost instructional facilities for Nordic skiing.
For beginners to skiing or veterans wanting to let go of some clutter, the Nordic Ski Swap is where used items can be found. All the equipment at the Swap are high-quality bargains that, after 5pm, are donated to charity. To attend the Swap at Crested Butte Nordic Center, be sure to show up on November 10th.
Other events include midnight skiing, bonfires, and a host of holiday festivities.
For a trip more ordinary, visitors ought to have an enjoyable time shooting down the slopes or, if speed isn't their thing, taking a snowshoeing trek across the beautiful grounds.
Classes at the Center range from Jr to Senior, and aside from skiing and snowshoeing, there are a host of other activities that include sledding and ice skating.
Guests to the Crested Butte Nordic Center usually lodge at Cristiana Guesthaus, Elk Mountain Lodge, Crested Butte Int'l Hostel, Pioneer Guest Cabins, and the Nordic Inn.
