These are the best winter trails with jaw-dropping views throughout the Gunnison Valley, according to local riders.
Recognized as a mecca of mountain biking, Crested Butte is also a pioneer of fat biking. Fat bikes use oversized tires to boost stability and traction while you’re riding on packed snow or slick roads, through sand or deep gravel, or on trails with mixed conditions.
The seeds of change for improving trail conditions started when Dave Ochs drove his Toyota pickup — with Samoyed spaniel Trapper in tow — through Crested Butte en route to Aspen in 2001 and never left. Instead, he joined roommates to dig Tony’s Trail with the, founded in 1983 to unite Gunnison Valley riders through trail development and events. Ochs was hooked.
“We needed more winter business and we were already a mountain bike destination. Fat bike technology was catching up — tires were becoming better with more options and abilities and the bikes were getting lighter,” said Ochs.
