Crystal Mountain ~ Slopes will open for Season Passholders, Four Seasons Club Members and house guests on Friday, December 18!

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.
