Narrative:
Approaching the gunnison airport, more than 15 mi out, we had the airport in sight and were VMC. We cancelled our IFR flight plan with ZDV and made a position report and requested an airport advisory on gunnison unicom/CTAF. The unicom operator advised there was a shuttle aircraft taxiing for takeoff on runway 6. We continued to broadcast our position and intention to make full traffic and land runway 6. In the course of these xmissions, shuttle reported they had us in sight, and we reported we had them in sight. Shuttle departed ot the west west/O conflict. We continued our approach to runway 6, making position reports (captain transmitting, I was flying) on downwind base and final. No other traffic transmitted and unicom did not report any other traffic in the area. We did not see any other traffic in the area. We made a normal landing. On rollout, we could see an small aircraft retractable gear aircraft rolling the opp direction on the far end of the runway. Both aircraft were at taxi speed by the time we were within 3000' of each other and both aircraft moved to their respective right side. The small aircraft stopped and we turned off the runway in front of him. We asked the unicom operator if he had heard another aircraft in the area and he said, he didn't see the aircraft until we pointed him out on the runway. The aircraft still didn't respond to xmissions. He taxied onto the taxiway to runway 6 and took off and departed the airport.

Title: COMMUTER BROADCASTS POSITION ALL THROUGH PATTERN AT NON TWR ARPT. AFTER LNDG SEES ANOTHER ACFT ON ROLLOUT OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
Narrative: APCHING THE GUNNISON ARPT, MORE THAN 15 MI OUT, WE HAD THE ARPT IN SIGHT AND WERE VMC. WE CANCELLED OUR IFR FLT PLAN WITH ZDV AND MADE A POS RPT AND REQUESTED AN ARPT ADVISORY ON GUNNISON UNICOM/CTAF. THE UNICOM OPERATOR ADVISED THERE WAS A SHUTTLE ACFT TAXIING FOR TKOF ON RWY 6. WE CONTINUED TO BROADCAST OUR POS AND INTENTION TO MAKE FULL TFC AND LAND RWY 6. IN THE COURSE OF THESE XMISSIONS, SHUTTLE RPTED THEY HAD US IN SIGHT, AND WE RPTED WE HAD THEM IN SIGHT. SHUTTLE DEPARTED OT THE W W/O CONFLICT. WE CONTINUED OUR APCH TO RWY 6, MAKING POS RPTS (CAPT XMITTING, I WAS FLYING) ON DOWNWIND BASE AND FINAL. NO OTHER TFC XMITTED AND UNICOM DID NOT RPT ANY OTHER TFC IN THE AREA. WE DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER TFC IN THE AREA. WE MADE A NORMAL LNDG. ON ROLLOUT, WE COULD SEE AN SMA RETRACTABLE GEAR ACFT ROLLING THE OPP DIRECTION ON THE FAR END OF THE RWY. BOTH ACFT WERE AT TAXI SPD BY THE TIME WE WERE WITHIN 3000' OF EACH OTHER AND BOTH ACFT MOVED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT SIDE. THE SMA STOPPED AND WE TURNED OFF THE RWY IN FRONT OF HIM. WE ASKED THE UNICOM OPERATOR IF HE HAD HEARD ANOTHER ACFT IN THE AREA AND HE SAID, HE DIDN'T SEE THE ACFT UNTIL WE POINTED HIM OUT ON THE RWY. THE ACFT STILL DIDN'T RESPOND TO XMISSIONS. HE TAXIED ONTO THE TXWY TO RWY 6 AND TOOK OFF AND DEPARTED THE ARPT.
