We’re excited to announce Crystal Mountain will open the slopes for Season Passholders, Four Seasons Club Members and houseguests on Friday, December 18!

Slopes will open for the season to the general public on Saturday, December 19 at 9 a.m.

With snow on the way and favorable snowmaking temps in the week ahead, we believe we’ll be able to open multiple trails and lifts. As the snow falls we’ll continue to post updates on what slopes will be open and what to expect in the coming days.

Shanty Creek ~ The slopes of Schuss Mountain will open on Saturday, December 19th.

OPENING DAY ANNOUNCEMENT

The slopes of Schuss Mountain will open on Saturday, December 19th.

The 10-day forecast has favorable snowmaking conditions returning this weekend with solid 24-hour periods to follow. Our crew will make the most of every opportunity.

It’s too soon to say how many runs or whether there will be a temp terrain park set. We’ll see what we’re able to accomplish based on the weather that shows up. Most of you already know we will work around the clock to get Schuss ready.

Thanks for your support. Ski you soon.
