## Description

Vail Resorts' purchase of Crested Butte in 2018 secured the customer base of Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional: winter skiers, delivered by United and American from Denver, Houston and Dallas. Summer schedules shrink to little more than the Denver shuttle. The freight ledger stays empty — ranch country moves its goods by truck along US-50, and palletized cargo is staged out of Grand Junction or Denver, three to four hours away. One operational quirk: the Gunnison Valley records some of the coldest winter mornings in the Lower 48, testing every battery on the field.
