As I meet people in town, on the bus or on chair lifts, I am seeing a shift from our usual Texas/Oklahoma visitors, to clientele that includes more Front Range visitors. This is a fairly new demographic for us, and one that is interesting for many reasons. For one,they can get here for a 2 day or 3 day weekend. I think once they come, quite a few of them become enamored with our little town, the high quality of the public school, and the quality of life up here in the mountains. We see a number of them looking at second homes, and a smaller subset then looking to relocate here.
This phenomenon has kept our ski mountain (and the trails in the summer) busier and local businesses more sustainable. I still love our Texas and Oklahoma folks, but I think diversification creates a healthier business environment. Especially when their spring breaks don't overlap. I'm always just glad to see more people enjoying doing some of the things I've gotten to do here over the years. Don't hesitate to reach out to me for suggestions on activities or recommendations of restaurants.
No matter where you are from, Crested Butte is a pretty special place to come visit.
