There was fresh snow Sunday night, so spring skiing should be great! The snow has muddied the lower trails so keep off until they dry out to help control trail damage.
The Gunnison River channel is open all the way to the Lake City Bridge. A few very hearty souls were wave surfing at the Gunnison Whitewater Park over the weekend. Sandhill Cranes and Blue Herons were spotted cruising over the river this past weekend. And even with th
e river channel open to the bridge, ice fishermen were still out on Blue Mesa Reservoir. Be cautious though, with the warming temperatures, it won't be long before ice fishing is over and the boats come out on the lake.Looking for some activity? Head over to the Gunnison Community Center for some spring fun. You can swim, do some fancy dives off the board or try one or all three of the slides into the pools. There is a special "frog" slide for the little ones fun! If swimming isn't your thing, try out the indoor climbing wall. You can also use the gyms for shooting hoops or enjoy shooting pool or challenging your friends at ping-pong. For more information on the Community Center go to www.cityofgunnison-co.gov/parks_and_rec/index.html
There's also fun to be had at the many City parks. There's play equipment (slides/swings/etc.) for the kids at Legion Park, the Meadows Park, and CharMar Park. There's tennis courts at CharMar Park and basketball hoops at the Meadows Park and Legion Park. There is also a challenging outdoor climbing boulder at Legion Park. Try it out!
There's the Ruby Cinema in the College Center at WSC. for catching a movie and some popcorn.
