Citizens Ski Races
The Citizens Ski Races are a series of fun nordic races held by the Crested Butte Nordic Center. There are six races spanning from early December to late January. The Citizens Races are designed as a series with a points system. Age class winners are crowned at the end of all the races. Like many other races in Crested Butte, these races are fun for all ages and abilities.
Races are spaced out by a week or more and gradually increase to the longest and final races.
