Friday, November 18 is Opening Day at Crystal Mountain
Crystal Mountain announces Thursday that there is enough snow to open for the weekend -- the first for the new winter season.
We noted an update on the Crystal Mountain Facebook page this afternoon that confirms the resort will be opening Friday, November 18.
Here's the latest from the official website, posted at 4:30 p.m. Thursday:
We picked up another 6" today and it's still snowing! TOMORROW (NOV. 18) IS OPENING DAY! The Gondola & Green Valley chair will run at 9am (last gondola download at 4pm). Skiing is limited to Green Valley (intermediate & advanced terrain). We don't recommend bringing new equipment as early season coverage does exist and rental & demo equipment will not be available tomorrow. Chinook Express, Discovery & Forest Queen will open on Saturday for a total of 5 lifts running this weekend.
