The New Year is upon us, and you all know what that means…New Year's Resolutions!
Whether you love them, hate them, or love to hate them, they are always a good way to start the year with the intention of being better and living better.
For me, moving to Crested Butte, Colorado, is taking a step in the direction of living a better life. When you are surrounded by nature, people who value community and organization, and a full range of indoor and outdoor activities, it is easy to make improvements in your life.
After a little research, I gathered a list of the most popular New Year's Resolutions. See below to find out how living in Crested Butte makes it a lot easier to start your New Year off right.
1. Get Fit
With two gyms in Crested Butte (Elk Ave Fitness and The Gym), multiple yoga studios (such as Yoga for the Peaceful! and Bikram's Yoga College of India), and more outdoor activities than you know what to do with (hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing), it's almost impossible to live here and not get enthralled in the active lifestyle.
2. Eat Healthier
Enjoy the beauty of the Farmers' Markets in both Crested Butte and nearby Gunnison Colorado for food and produce that comes right from the local land, promoting sustainable agriculture and building the community. When the Crested Butte Farmers' Market is not in season, there are still plenty of options for healthy eating including organic grocery stores (Mountain Earth Whole Foods) and restaurants that use only organic food (EastSide Bistro).
3. Learn Something New
There are so many activities available in Crested Butte, living here is comparable to being back in school and having a laundry list of clubs to join. Skiing, hiking, and biking are the big three and there are plenty of clubs, classes and competitions, allowing anyone to start completely inexperienced and slowly hone their skills. If you tend to be more of a creative mind, then the Studio Art School & Pottery Place is where you'll be spending your time. They teach everything from painting and drawing to sculpture and photography.
4. Do Good
There is no shortage of humanitarians living in Crested Butte. Whether or not you move to Crested Butte with volunteer experience, you can't help but be inspired by the spirit of the community. No issue seems to be too big or too small to tackle - from complex global issues (Red Lady Coalition) to enhancing arts and culture in the local schools (Join the West Elk Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan).
5. Enjoy Life More
You must admit, there is something pretty enticing about living in a place that most people visit to go on vacation and have fun. When you live here, you witness fun and enjoyment on a regular basis. Why restrict all the fun to the visitors? Crested Butte homeowners often use the lodge, the slopes and the spas on a regular basis. "Staycation" luxuries aside, Crested Butte is simply a beautiful and natural piece of Colorado Real Estate. It's a lot easier to smile on your way to work when you pas
s the breathtaking site of Mount Crested Butte on the way there.It may sound like it's all a little too far-fetched, but moving to a Crested Butte Colorado home is not nearly as "day-dreamy" as it sounds. There are homes available in a variety of price ranges, from luxurious villas like this Villas Summit Unit (100 Snowmass Road, Crested Butte), to single family homes like this brand new Buckhorn Ranch home (227 White Stallion Circle, Crested Butte).
