What is Oystermeister? Seven times each school year, students and faculty come together for a school-wide, fun-for-all athletic event. Students pay an entry fee of $1 each to participate and all funds raised support student clubs. Regardless of ability, we invite the entire CRMS community to join in – and don’t forget your school spirit, costume, and friendly competition!
The 7 events are:

Open water pond swim and party
2.5-mile trail run on Tick Ridge
Campus course cycling time trial
Rock climbing – bouldering in the CRMS Gym
5K Nordic ski (skate or classic) at Spring Gulch
Alpine downhill at the Snowmass Ski Area NASTAR course
Kayaking race starting at River Valley Ranch and ending at CRMS
