February 4 = 37th Annual Alley Loop Nordic Marathon!

The Alley Loop is not your typical Nordic Marathon. Not only a premier nordic race and an American Birkebeiner Qualifier, it’s also Crested Butte’s best costume party of the year.  The course winds its way through snow-laden streets, alleyways and narrow bridges through the heart of downtown Crested Butte.  At any given time you may be cheered-on by town revelers, find yourself surrounded by Oompa Loompas, or navigating a crazy costume train assemblage…  Racers are sometimes forced into making daring passes and depending on their luck, may even get waylaid on a bridge for a brief moment.  Once you make it through town, you are rewarded by pristine tracks and exhilarating vistas throughout the Crested Butte Nordic trail network.

Feb. 11 = Sam Grisman Project - Public House, 202 Elk Avenue, Crested Butte-Sam Grisman Project presents the music of Garcia/Grisman Live at the Crested Butte Public House February 11th, 2023!!--A Note From Sam-- The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend, Jerry Garcia, made in the early 90s (in the house that I grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is the way their camaraderie and their love and joy for the music, simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs—whether they are originals, covers or traditional/old time tunes—and how expertly that material was curated.
