A Good Old Fashioned Crested Butte Colorado Halloween

Are you ready for Halloween in Crested Butte Colorado? Living in a mountain town that is full of history is bound to harbor some spooky stories from the past, making for the perfect Halloween ghost story. Here is one of the best that is sure to get you in the Halloween mood…

The Story of the The Haunted Forest Queen Hotel

Back in the times of the early settlers that came to Crested Butte, Colorado there was a lady named Elizabeth. Elizabeth had fallen madly in love with a transient gambler. In an effort to gain his affection, she gave him her entire life's savings - which was only to be used for an all night gambling event.

The transient gambler won big that night, but instead of returning his love and appreciation to Elizabeth, he left town with his winnings, as well as Elizabeth's savings. Soon after he left, she threw herself from the Forest Queen Hotel window into the icy waters of Coal Creek.

The story goes, if you stay in the hotel, you can hear Liz traipsing through the hotel halls - banging around and slamming doors, and keeping hotel residents company late in to the night.

Now to snap you back to reality - The Forest Queen Hotel is actually a great place to stay in Crested Butte Colorado. Located right in the heart of Crested Butte, this historic hotel has all the old world charm that you would expect from a cozy ski town hotel.

Stories like this only add to the character of this old Colorado mining town. Even though it may not be the same town it used to be, it still harbors a lot of its old fashioned charm. Quaint shops, restaurants, and galleries line the streets to create an atmosphere you can't quite find in any other Colorado town. It is often referred to as "The Last Great Colorado Ski Town" and I could not agree more.

Dive Head First Into Crested Butte Colorado Culture

Skiing and snowboarding is something a lot of us who live here in Crested Butte Colorado often take for granted. For Crested Butte residents, making a trip to the slopes is as everyday an activity as eating breakfast. It's part of the culture here. So it doesn't surprise me at all to see parents encourage their children to learn how to ski as early as possible.

The state of Colorado has found it so important that every child who lives here should have the opportunity to learn the state's signature winter sport, that they offer a special program called the "First Class Program." Sponsored by Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA), the program allows 5th graders who have never experienced skiing or snowboarding the opportunity to receive three free days of skiing. They also offer a 6th grade passport that provides participants with 4 days of skiing or snowboarding for the price of $99.

This 15 year old program has helped more than 200,000 families introduce their kids to the joys of skiing and snowboarding. Crested Butte is, of course, one of the participating resorts to offer this benefit to the youth of Colorado. For more information, visit the Colorado Ski Country USA Website.

If your family recently relocated to Crested Butte, Colorado, this program is ideal to help your children dive right in to Colorado's culture. I am always looking for ways to make new Crested Butte Home Buyers feel welcome. If you are looking into Crested Butte Real Estate, I would love to introduce you to the town, show you some beautiful Crested Butte homes, and help get you acclimated.
