Gunnison winters are hard on a parked trailer

Gunnison sits in a cold valley bottom, and winter nights there are some of the coldest in the state. A trailer left in a yard or rental driveway can freeze into place, block snow removal and collect drifts all season. Many rentals and student houses near Western Colorado University simply do not have room for a truck, a trailer and two sleds.

Riders who live in Gunnison need a home base in town, not a 28-mile drive up to Crested Butte and back before every ride. Storing on the Gunnison side keeps the rig close to where you live and work.

Two Gunnison locations, two ways to store

Discount Self Storage North

1825 N Highway 135. Advertised as the valley's largest open-air lot, with spaces from 12x15 to 12x50 for RVs, boats, trailers, toy haulers, cars and trucks. 24-hour access, month-to-month, no deposit, minutes from Western Colorado University.

Discount Self Storage Airport

500 S Boulevard St, near Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport. Outdoor RV, boat and vehicle parking, large roll-up doors, wide aisles, 24-hour access and video surveillance.

Pick the gate closest to your house or your usual route out of town. Full details for each are on the North and Airport pages.

Sizing a space for a sled rig

Single sled trailer

A shorter open-air space is often enough for a small trailer on its own.

Two-place or enclosed sled trailer

Measure from the coupler to the rear of the ramp, then pick a longer space so you can open the ramp door.

Toy hauler or truck and trailer

North's longest spaces run to 12x50, which suits bigger setups kept hitched.

Gear and spares

A drive-up or roll-up door unit holds helmets, suits and parts out of the cold. Ask which sizes are open.

The size guide helps you compare, and the team can match a space by phone at (970) 641-6655.

Students and seasonal workers

If you study or work at Western Colorado University and keep a sled or ATV in town, Discount Self Storage North is minutes from campus. Our guide on how far storage is from Western Colorado University covers the drive.

Month-to-month rentals let you store just for the riding season and move out when the semester or the lease ends.

Before you park for the season

Cover and strap

Use a fitted sled cover and check every tie-down. Valley wind can work a loose cover off.

Batteries

Bring batteries home or disconnect them. Deep cold drains a battery that sits.

Lock the trailer

Use a coupler lock and keep keys with you.

Clear a path after storms

Park so the trailer can be hitched without backing through a drift.

A few minutes of setup in the fall makes every winter pickup simpler.
