Crested Butte Freeriding!

[MuniSano]

Yesterday I got the chance to visit Crested Butte (I'm staying a few weeks over in Lake City, Colorado). I brought my KH24 along and decided to buy an all day summer lift pass and ride some of the downhill trails via the Red Lady Express chair lift. Although none of the trails were super challenging it was still a lot of fun to be able to just go down, down, down! Most ways you went you got about 960ft of descent over around 2 miles back to the base area. I ended up riding most of the routes (some more than once). Since I got a very late start, only got going at around 12:00 and the lift closed as 14:30, I only had the chance to squeeze in 5 runs or around 12.5 miles of mostly downhill! I had a lot of fun and one young guy asked if I knew about a local Crested Butte unicyclist? I forget his name but I know I've seen some of his videos on this forum? Sorry no picts. just some beta to let others know to give the Crested Butte summer lifts a try. I obviously wasn't the first unicyclist to do this as the lift operators didn't even bat an eye when I rolled up! Still turned the heads of several hikers and bikers though.

Cheers!
