Crystal Mountain, WA Conditions Report: Powder Refresher Last week brought ripping good conditions wall to wall at the resort, with a little of everything from powder pockets to fast groomed steeps. The coverage along the ridges where cold temps and high winds had scoured away all the snow are finally covered. A 2 day warming event manifested in some rain and fun slush skiing, an more importantly […] Industry News Reid Pitman | January 27, 2017 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain, WA Conditions Report: Sneaker Powder Day While not what was predicted the snow storms did deliver a nice refresher to the mountain after a windy, cold and clear week. The low volume of skier and riders meant there was plenty of good pockets after the weekend. Although it seems California and Colorado got the brunt of it, our good ol’ PNW snow only needs to […] Conditions Report Reid Pitman | January 12, 2017 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain, WA Conditions Report: Chalky cold, Storms, Bluebird Crystal Mountain got a little refresh for Christmas followed by some cold, clear temps. Pockets of chalky recirculating powder kept the off piste pretty dang fun, which was a gift in its own right. The previous storm came in windy and kept the frontside refilling to the point I did the same run turn for turn 14 times. It was […] Conditions Report Reid Pitman | December 29, 2016 0 Comments
Crystal Moutain, WA Conditions Report: The Powder Days Just Won’t Stop A super fun week of rallying perfect cold groomers and hitting stashes of protected deep powder through the trees. My legs just aren’t getting a break! With Chair 6 running and Northway back open there was no shortage of places to go for long steep runs of recirculated light snow. Snow sharks are still lurking out there as the light […] Backcountry Reid Pitman | December 13, 2016 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain, WA Conditions Report: “Choker Blower” Powder Daze Report from Monday, December 5th, 2016 Crystal had a steady start this season from an average opening snow depth with plenty of “early season conditions” to quite possibly the best snow I’ve ridden in my 9 years here! An overnight dump of 19″ of right side up pow fell Saturday night and made for all time storm riding Sunday for […] Conditions Report Reid Pitman | December 8, 2016 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain Conditions Report | Corn, Chalk and Chowda Though the northwest is still hungry for more snow, the spring-like conditions at Crystal are surprisingly rad! Near the top of the resort, north-facing slopes still have some protected, chalky snow, allowing for smeary, fast turns. Once the sun heats up the steeper south-facing runs, the slush is easy to mash through and there are plenty of shrubs and rocks to jump over if that’s your thing. As always, the groomers are speedy and consistent with plenty of small rollers to pop off. Rachel Delacour | March 8, 2015 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain Conditions Report | The King Delivers The weather gods finally delivered snow to Crystal. Over the past four days the ski area picked up nearly 12” of snow. Not a lot over four days (for Washington), but this year that makes up nearly 7% of the total snowfall. Conditions and coverage up high have remained fairly good for the past few weeks, surviving the June-uary warmup that baked the snowpack. The new snow was all […] Conditions Report Chaz Diamond | February 28, 2015 0 Comments
Crystal Mountain Conditions Report | Return of Winter? Something strange happened this past week in Washington. It snowed. Sure, the accumulation only stacked up to 6 inches, but after weeks of high pressure any snow is welcome. Snow is snow, you can tell because of the way it is (and sticks in the trees). It didn’t rain, it snowed, and that’s all that matters. Luckily stayed low through the end of the week, so the new snow didn’t immediately […] Conditions Report Chaz Diamond | February 22, 2015 0 Comments
