BACKGROUND

The Colorado resort town of Mt. Crested Butte is nestled among the Elk Mountain Range with a namesake mountain rising just above town to a height of 12,162 feet. The population of 6,500 year-round residents can escalate to 10,000 during the peak of ski season.

With four distinct seasons, the local climate makes the town a destination for some of the best year-round recreational activities including Alpine, Nordic, and backcountry skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, fly fishing, rafting, and kayaking.

SUMMARY

By utilizing long-term, remote-level monitoring at the locations of proposed CIP, an agency can determine which locations are the “worst offenders,” determine mean times to failure, and prioritize projects accordingly. Oftentimes, it is determined that while a location has had some problems, it may not need immediate attention. The project can be deferred to the next budget cycle or further, and the agency still has satisfaction that risk is reduced at problem locations because they have 24/7 monitoring with immediate high water level notification to emergency response personnel.
