Crested Butte Vacation Travel Blog

This race has a long standing tradition here in Crested Butte. Yes, it is a telemark race that requires the participants to skin up and ski down some extreme terrain. But more importantly everyone dresses in their best costumes. Almost any event seems to come with costumes in Crested Butte but this is the one that everyone spends the year planning for. It is always a great event for spectators! (However, if you are up for the challenge you can participate.) Here is a shot at the finish line which this year was right next to the Paradise Warming Hut Bar. And what a perfectly sunny day to sit outside and enjoy!
  

Today we had some late season snow that added 4 more inches to our ski day. Guster opened for the FestEVOL shows today. As the show went on the snow just came down harder. The bands were great sports about it dressing in ski gear to fight the elements. As Big Head Todd and the Monsters played it started to really dump but no one was willing to leave until it was over. Thank you EVOL Burritos for another great event!!!

What better way to wrap up a sunny day of skiing than to enjoy a crowd pleasing performance by the Bare Naked Ladies. FestEVOL is a weekend concert series that has been going for the last three years here in Crested Butte put on by EVOL Burritos.
