Crystal opens tomorrow. I can’t make it Wednesday but Thursday is a strong possibility.
WELCOME TO THE START OF THE
2020-2021 WINTER
SKI & SNOWBOARD SEASON!
Dear David,
Crystal Mountain is excited to announce that we will kick-off the winter season
this Wednesday, November 18! Lifts start turning
at 9AM, and thanks to outstanding early snowfall Crystal will open with the best conditions in more than a decade. Wednesday’s lift offering will include the Mount Rainier Gondola, Rainier Express, Chinook Express, Forest Queen Express, Quicksilver, and Discovery. Chair 6, Northway, and Gold Hill won’t be too far behind as Patrol is already working to get these ready for you to enjoy. Also, in accordance with the State’s November 15th crowding restrictions, lodges will not be accessible for indoor food service, but we will have plenty of to-go options available for you to take to your favorite spot on the mountain, in the base, or in your car.
In order to fully comply with the Governor’s most current reopening requirements as of November 15th, 2020, which require reduced chair-loading capacities and use of a reservation system in order to limit crowd size, Crystal Mountain will be utilizing a passholder reservation system to regulate crowd size for the foreseeable future. We have committed to priority access for our pass holders.
To make a reservation, log into ‘My Account’ on the Ikon Pass app and follow these easy steps.
Step 1: Select ‘Make a Reservation’
Step 2: Select Crystal Mountain as your Destination
Step 3: Select your Date
Step 4: Confirm Reservation
If you don’t have the Ikon Pass app you can follow the link here:

Ikon Pass holders can hold up to 10 reservations at a time. Please be aware that unused reservations or attempts to visit without a reservation for the day could result in loss of access to the mountain.
And finally, we’re asking everyone to practice adaptation and patience this winter. We know that ever-changing restrictions, reduced lift capacity, and varying lodge access will require us to pivot and adapt throughout the season. Our team has planned for this and we’re ready to do whatever it takes to help stay safe and stay opened; but we can’t do so without everyone’s cooperation. Please don’t visit if you’re feeling ill; please be prepared to wear your mask anytime you’re not actively sliding downhill; and please be kind and patient with our fellow skiers and riders as we all do what it takes to get out and enjoy the wide-open spaces and tons of great snow we’ve come to love here at Crystal!
