Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa welcomes outdoor adventurers to its 45 powdery slopes, which invite beginning, intermediate, and advanced skiers and snowboarders to enjoy a day or two of carving snow. Nine lifts convey guests to the tops of each white peak, including the Crystal Clipper, a wind-powered high-speed quad lift that ably transports snowboard-themed barbershop quartets. Armed with precipitation-friendly equipment, either owned or rented, patrons pilot down the snowy slopes, with carpeting provided by either Mother Nature or the resort’s 126 snow-making guns. Three terrain parks and a supercross course provide ample challenges to daredevils, and a robust calendar of events encourages wintry revelry throughout the season, including live music, storytelling, and competitions to see who does the best mountain impression.
