On Sept. 11 Crested Butte celebrated the life of Don Cook. I knew him since my first year in Crested Butte, 1979, and over the years he taught me a lot about mtn biking and skiing. I am grateful for the awesome trails he and his brother Steve developed.
Here are forty photos from that celebration. And below that, twelve photos of Don
Here’s a few links about Don:
- Mtn Bike Hall of Fame

I am aslo grateful to Don and Kay for their ongoing maintenance of the Pearl Pass Tour, which started in 1976 and is the oldest event in the history of mountain biking. … Facebook page for Pearl Pass Tour.
