A clipper system delivered fresh snow overnight and conditions this opening weekend are fantastic. Crystal Mountain has received over a foot of natural snowfall this past week and we have taken advantage of every snowmaking opportunity. Our opening is made possible by a dream team of natural snowfall and the tireless, cold-weather heroics of our snowmaking team.
Ski & Ride for BACN: Sunday, December 7, We're teaming up with Benzie Area Christian Neighbors (BACN) and donating a portion of our lift ticket sales for their non-profit. Buy an open-to-close lift ticket on Sunday and $5 will be donated to BACN.
