Start The Year Off With a Memorable Crystal Getaway

Happy New Year! Start the year off with a Crystal Mountain getaway! Ski/ride 45 slopes with two terrain areas and a 480-ft. halfpipe. Stomp away on snowshoes or glide thru the woods on cross-country skis. Sing-a-long on a horse-drawn surrey ride. Make a snow angel with your child. No matter how you do it, it’s time to enjoy winter at Crystal Mountain!

The slopes are in great shape – we had tremendous weather for making snow this past month. Mother Nature has helped some herself. In the words of our Snowmaking/Grooming Manager, “I haven’t seen this much snow in my 17 years here.” And he ought to know. Come hit the slopes and see what we mean.
