STAY IN THE KNOW

Keep a close eye on the Crystal Mountain Instagram account for real-time updates when it starts dumping—you’ll be the first to know when the gates open in Southback and Northway. To access Southback’s technical terrain and deep powder, be sure to take the high-speed two-seater, Chair 6, known locally as Crystal’s most legendary lift.

ICONIC SELFIE STATUS

Summit Crystal Mountain in the Mt. Rainier Gondola for your chance to snap a selfie with the Cascade Range and fourteener Mount Rainier—Washington’s most iconic peak—in the background. This sweeping, snowy view never gets old and makes the perfect setting for any family photo or holiday card.

HEAD TO THE SUMMIT

AUTHENTIC WASHINGTON APRÈS

After a fun day on the slopes, head directly to Rafters Smokehouse for a Crystal Mountain Chair 6 Ale-- brewed exclusively for Crystal Mountain Resort by Elysian Brewing. Share a pitcher with friends over a plate of nachos, large enough to feed your crew.
