As we move into summer, Gunnison County has released their Tenth Amended Public Health Order. With this we saw more businesses, including restaurants and bars, open back up and the approval of larger gatherings.

The past few months have been trying times for the Gunnison Valley. With the County’s Reopening Plan, we are excited to see restrictions loosen and businesses open back up. We’re starting to see more virtual events offered throughout the community as well.

As we continue to adjust to the new normal of social distancing we are seeing more and more virtual events throughout the valley.  People are taking this time to spend more time with their families and reach to friends both near and far via FaceTime, Zoom, Houseparty and other similar outlets.

Unfortunately, most local April events have been cancelled or postponed. We will continue to post event dates as soon as things start to get back to normal. In the meantime, please continue to practice social distancing and take this advantage to spend this extra time with your family. 

With the mountain closing down early and town on a social distancing recommendation, here are some activities you and your family can do while hunkered down at home.

Town is hopping with fun winter activities and the February events calendar is full of great live music and winter events. Don’t miss the 40th Annual Dan Prater Memorial Cup which runs February 21-23 and the Crested Butte Mardi Gras Parade on February 25th.

The 2019/2020 ski season is in full swing with Crested Butte being named “Colorado’s Best Ski Area”. The January events calendar is full of great live music and winter activities. Named the Best Mountain Town Music Festival of 2020 by Rolling Stone, the Mountain High Music Festival is January 16-18th.
