2023-24 Annual Report
The season was a mixed bag of emotions for all of us at the CBAC and in the community. While it was another great season of skiing and riding, we were hit hard by the loss of two friends to the mountains.  Our 24th season forecasting for the Gunnison Valley was defined by two treacherous weak layers – the source of challenging, unique, and tragic persistent slab issues. The report also highlights successes from our outreach and operations and recognizes the many partners and sponsors who support the CBAC.
